I'm not really sure how many people are usually looking at the lights on a Friday night, but we were the only ones there, but again who wants to walk around in the rain. 
One of my many coats that won't button up. I promise my butt hasn't gotten that big.
It's definately no Temple Square, but that's on the list for next week. Hooray for Christmas lights and spending time with Al!!
DirectionsMix cookie mix, butter, extract, food color and egg in bowl, until soft dough forms. Stir in creme de menthe baking chips and chocolate chunks. Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
We picked an Italian restaurant called Cucina Rustica. 
I got a yummy chicken pasta
and Al got some meat lovers pizza which turned out to be pretty good.
Since we don't have a Christmas tree this year we got to admire theirs. I loved Cucina Rustica and we will definately be going back, maybe with a baby next time.
Here is my 26 week picture. Thank goodness for leggings and whats better than that? MATERNITY LEGGINGS. If I could wear them to work I would live in them 24/7. 
Our 2010 Christmas ornament that I have to hang from our wall.
and a pretty winter sunset. We have been having these every night along with the best weather ever. I'm excited to go to Utah for Christmas!! I hope it snows so it will actually feel like Christmas time.
8 shirts and a swimsuit. Every item only $1 each!! How amazing is that? I love good deals especially on clothes I hopefully won't wear until my next pregnancy!!
On Saturday Al and I went to pick up my glider!! It's so comfortable I don't want to get out of it. Baby Alex is going to love it!! Pictures to come soon.
Here I am at 25 weeks. I got lots of compliments on this dress at church, but what people couldn't see is how I only had it zipped up half way. When I got out of the car I heard it rip and then I had to sneeze and I heard it rip again. Yep won't be wearing that one again. I'm determined to find out why all the maternity dresses have to be made of that awful spandex material that clings to every part of your body it shouldn't. Why can't they just make normal dresses in normal colors and fabrics?
I'm wondering where all the extra weight will go in the next 15 weeks? I'm running out of clothes to wear to work and I really don't want to buy any. I want Mexican food everyday so that has to mean he will speak Spanish. The guy at Subway knows me so well that when I walk in he says " We have Spinach for you today." He knows I'm not a happy customer if they only have shredded iceberg lettuce. I don't know what I'm going to do when we are in Utah for Christmas because none of my coats will zip up over my stomach...lol I've also decided pregnancy is much more glamorous when it's not happening to you. Here's to Week 26!!
After he smelled normal again he glued himself to the couch to watch more Football. I will NEVER understand how someone can watch so much sports and never get sick of it...lol
About 90% of my day consisted of this. I love to cook, but standing the entire day when your pregnant is exhausting. Thankfully I have a job where I get to sit on my butt all day long.
Thanks to the bag our turkey turned out perfect!!
Luckily everything else was great too or at least that's what everyone told me. The menu consisted of Turkey, Ham, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Fresh Green Beans (I hate canned and the casserole), Cranberry Sauce, Rolls, and the most popular dish Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole which could easily be a dessert.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
This is my 23 week picture. That is probably the last dress I own that I can fit into and probably the last time I can wear it for awhile.
I'm definately not one of the girls that Looooves being pregnant. I'm not really sure how I feel about sharing my body, but I better get used to it if I want more kids in the future. I felt him kick on the plane to NYC and Al felt him kick a couple weeks ago. That is definately the best part about being pregnant. I'm thankful everything has gone smoothly so far and we can't wait to meet the little guy. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!
