What a weekend.

This weekend was the Nelson family Christmas party. My grandma had Santa come and suprise the grandkids/great grandkids. It was fun, yet a little over whelming since there are about a million kids in the family. It was fun for Chase to sit on Santa's lap (it was the first time she ever has since last year I was a bad Mom and never felt like taking her to the mall to stand in line so she could sit on Santa's lap).

Anyways, watching while every small grandchild and great grand child took there turn sitting on his lap got a little boring...and boy was I glad when it was over so we could finally eat.....but wait...did he just call my name? Yes, after every child sat on his lap he called my name, and I'm thinking "what is going on?" Jamison and my Mom have these big grins on there faces so of course I am thinking Jamison has some big Christmas suprise for me......but no. My Mom thought it would be funny if santa "outed" my pregnancy to my whole family by asking me if I would want some baby clothes for Christmas. Lame. See below picture.

The best part of the night was when we put Chase to bed, then went to check on her a few hours later, she had fallen asleep with her book over her face. Apparently she got so tired while "reading" she decided to simply put the book down directly on her face.

That next morning we woke up bright and early to the loudest crashing noise I have ever heard and what looked like lightening directly infront of our window. Turns out the wind blew over the ginormous tree in our backyard and on its way down it took out our power lines. The tree was so huge it took up the whole back yard. It couldn't have landed more perfectly. If it would have fallen any other direction it would have either taken out our neighbors roof, or our roof, so we got lucky. We didn't have power all day, and there was a small chain saw incident that shall remain unmentioned, but we did finally get it worked out and cleaned up.
I am glad this weekend is almost over.
