This Could Be Christmas Dessert

Depending on directives this may be one of the desserts at this year's Christmas party. Stay tuned for the outcome!

Van Drunen Christmas at Keith & Cher

Please contact Grandma Van Drunen as to what to bring for our Christmas Dinner at Keith & Cher's home on Saturday, December 20, at 3:00 p.m. We are having ham and beef sandwiches, with salads and desserts. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Baby Room Pictures

If you'll check the baby countdown to d-day, we're a mere 36 days and counting away from meeting our child.

In full nesting mode, the room is finally complete- we've been working on this particular room for over a year (though origianlly it was going to be a guest bedroom). Now we have a guest for the next 18 years minimum.

My interior decorator tells me that despite the fact that there is blue in the room, that the blue is an aqua-ish tint, and therefore acceptable for either gender... so don't read into that, people. My guess is still boy on Jan. 16. Mom, could you post the official guesses?

Classic Santa Photo

I couldn't resist posting this classic photo.  It was just taken yesterday, but it appears Keelan has finally reached the stage where he is terrified of Santa.  Can't wait for the Van Drunen party!

Christmas Tree Challenge

Family- as Stephanie and I decorated our tree, I thought that one way that we could share our Christmas expereince from distances is to share our Christmas trees with each other.

I'll be posting a picture of our tree shortly- anyone else want to snap a pic and share?
