Both arrived safely on Christmas Eve- Mom flew in from Sarasota, Florida and Jessi drove in from Chicago (well, from Schaumburg actually). We stayed up way too late catching up, which ended up doing every night they were here (and which is also why we look so sleepy in all the pics below).
We spent Christmas morning together here at home, and then we spent the rest of the day with Chris's family in Xenia and then in Germantown. We ended the night playing Harry Potter Clue with Liz, Chris's little sister :)
The days after Christmas were spent lounging around watching pregnancy themed movies (Knocked Up, Baby Mama, and Juno) and showing Mom the coolness of Wii video games and the PS3 Rock Band video game. She was quite impressed.
We also filled our holiday weekend with a baby shower yesterday (before playing some Rock Band with Liz and watching Juno with Chris). Everyone came over here for the party. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a baby shower- I'm talking record breaking highs (I think we hit 65 degrees or more!) We had the heat off and the windows open all day.
Mom and Jessi left today :( They both made it home safely, and I managed to catch up on some sleep!
Enjoy the pics of my wonderful holidays:
Me & Chris a few days before Christmas (I think I look perpetually tired at this point in the pregnancy...)

Jessi gave us the coolest bibs for Christmas! ("My mom is hotter than your mom" and "My dad is cooler than your dad")
Jessi and I were cracking up over the Christmas present I gave Frankie (a Santa costume!)

Mom also bought the dog an outfit for Christmas.

At the baby shower with my mom, Laura, and Chris's mom, Kathi.
The sleepy girls: My mom, me, and Jessi
Me and my sisters!
After I took this picture of us, we both got a very good laugh out of all of my chins...
A book for Lily's ever-expanding library :)
The bomb-diggety of all diaper bags ;)
Everyone got a kick out of me when I noticed the kitties on the feet of these PJs and meowed. Yes, I actually meowed at the outfit :)
I love little ruffles on the butt!
Chris's mom gave us this cute frame that says "Smiles for Daddy" :)
My daughter is going to be a punk rocker!
