Hello again friends! What a crazy month it has been!! It has been a month full of surprises and joy! For starters, Wyatt and I found out that we are going to be parents in July!! SURPRISE!!! Our pregnancy was definitely a joyful surprise, but a huge surprise at that. It has been so fun to share the news with our family and friends over the holiday season! What a blessing a baby Jenkins will be. He or she will bring so much JOY to our lives, I can't wait to meet him or her! Wyatt will be a wonderful dad, I can't wait to watch him with our little one! YAY! What a year of adventure it will be! :)
Christmas was wonderful! We celebrated with Wyatt's family on Saturday, we took shrimp and egg rolls (that is not my pregnancy diet, that is exactly what the kids asked for :):)) we had lunch and opened presents! It truly was a good time! We headed back home Saturday evening and had breakfast with some of our Sunday school class on Sunday morning, again a blessed time! Wyatt and I had lunch together then finished up our wrapping and baking throughout the day. At 6:00 p.m. we headed to my home church for the candle-light service which I always enjoy. Both of my parents have amazing gifts and talents, but as I sat in church listening to my mom play the piano I was absolutely overcome with amazement as my mom's fingers flew over the piano. She is amazing at playing piano!! She can play anything at any time!! I am so proud of her and for the way she humbly shares her gift with others!! She is pretty cool!! After the service we always eat together, usually it is a Chinese place, but seeing how it was Sunday evening, hardly anything was open, so we headed to my favorite place, Cheddar's!! :)
Christmas morning Wyatt and I woke up in our very first house together and opened presents just the two of us. We actually had an amazing chat about what life would be like next year with our baby. It is so crazy to think that we are going to be mom and dad to a perfect little one. After our amazing talk (emotional at times), we prayed for this upcoming year. Hey, if we are going to get through everything, God is going to have to be at the direct center of everything!! It was the best Christmas morning we could have shared! About 11:00 a.m. we headed over to my parents house where we laughed and talked, ate, and opened presents all day long!! It was a wonderful day of family!!
