Christmas was wonderful this year. Dan and I spent Christmas Eve with Dan's family at Grandma and Grandad's house in Calvert County. When we got home that evening we decided to exchange our gifts. We have never been able to hold out until Christmas Day. Dan gave me Guitar Hero World Tour which, I love and have played for at least 3 hours everyday since. I gave Dan a Nascar Slot Car set, Tickets to see Rodney Carrington and a Captian Morgan sign to add to his collection.
Christmas Day started early at Dan's parents house where we opened gifts and then headed down to see Grandma B, Paul and Nana. We spent a couple of hours there before heading back to Grandma and Grandad's to see the rest of the family. Later in the afternoon Dan and I jumped back on the road to head to my Mom's home for Dinner and gifts with my family. We made it home by about 9 in the evening and enjoyed playing Guitar Hero for the rest of the night.
The Saturday after Christmas Jennie, Erin and I headed up to Uncle Jim's house to see the Herring Side of the family. Traffic was horrible since no one can drive as well as I can ; ) It took a little longer than we had planned and we didn't get to stay as long as we had hoped. It was great to see everyone though and try and catch up with what everyone is doing.
All in all it was a great 4 day weekend for me, poor Dan had to work the Friday and Saturday after Christmas and we are ready to ring in the new year!

Toy Drive & Christmas Party
So last night was the Cali Style Toy Drive and Dan's mechanic Christmas Party at Dale's house.
Dan has decided to go back with Abnormal Behavior Truck Club so we met up with them and all rode over together. They had filled the back of Trevor's truck with toys since it was a benefit for Toys for Tots and it was amazing to see. I've never seen so many toys! Plus the boys couldn't keep there hands off of everything so they all crowded around the truck playing with everything. We had a good crowd and Wyked Dimensions came and rode in with us so I'm guessing we had about 7-10 trucks. The party was good, they had an ice luge, beer pong and a mechanical bull. We didn't get to stay too long since we had to head over to Dale's house for the Mechanics Christmas Party.
Dale's house was fun. The guys spent the majority of the time out in the garage playing beer pong and carrying on. They had the fire going inside where all the women congregated. There were 2 other pregnant women there so at least there were other people who were sober and I could talk to them without feeling completely out of place. Dale had his Harley in the living room with spotlights on it. Dan of course found that to be priceless and insisted on doing that at our house. Over my dead body! We weren't out too late but had a great time and enjoyed spending the evening out.

2nd Ultrasound Picture
Here is a picture from our appointment on Dec. 9th. The head is on the right, legs are curled up on the left. Mom says it looks like a spider, Dan says it looks like the alien off of Independence Day, I say it looks like a baby!
