She guessed it ...Sweet potato casserole! I brought a sweet potato casserole to thanksgiving at our dear friend and my boss's place for Thanksgiving day. He was just going give the marshmallow a little color under the brioler...10 min later....we lifted the whole layer conveinantly off the top =)Trust me a great story to tell over and over again to raze him!

Question of the day

"Mommy why does your tummy jiggle after you stop walking?" -Emma Holm 4 1/2yrs old

My answer was something like-there is alot of baby in there. I really should have said "honey that is what 35 pounds looks like".

A few pictures from December

The first and only gingerbread bake!

November's picture of the month-now for the contest. You get to guess what it is!!! Leave your comment .......

Walk a mile in your shoes/sleep a night in your shoes?

If you can't see Julia is sleeping with a blanket shoveled under her shirt. She is fast asleep and we all laughed about it in the morning! I guess she has some compassion for mommy and now understands me............what a ham!

Final count down

Counting down to Christmas, baby,maternity leave, grandparents arrival, Farmors arrive.....it seems to never end!

I feel very motherly today. School is canceled, the Christmas music is playing

(new Faith Hill Christmas CD)and the house smells of fresh gingerbread. The girls and I had a nice morning baking. They are playing together now-without fighting. This I am happy for....well at least when I started this entry there was no fighting.

I have successfully eaten a 9" round pan shrimp cocktail dip in 2 days. I have perfected my waddle just in time for the holidays and our big Christmas Eve Services (12,2,4,6,8). I joke if I can make it thru that I will manage just fine the next 4 weeks.

Tomorrow I will tackle Christmas shopping for the family. I really have not put it off, there was really just no time to do it till now! Oh, I did come to terms with the fact that there will be no Holm Family Christmas Card this Christmas. Instead we will do a big mailing in a month when lil baby boy arrives and people can start at him (not the GIANT preggo lady)! I am hoping to get a package off to MN tomorrow...am I insane to enter the USPS this dreaded day...yah I am.

And the sadness is that my Starbucks Card is now dry, empty, out...completely. Sigh.

Tonight's highlight will be eating warm Swedish rolls and gingersnaps. (they are not gingerbread people they are crispy and not chewy)

That is the latest from our home.....be watching for the January publication of the Holm's Happenings and Latest Addition!

Finally- I did it

Something many have asked for and today I sat down and did it!

I am now registered at Babies R Us! So for all of you wondering what we need or want for #4 (to arrive around Jan.23) there you go!
