christmas 2011 part 2 (columbus)

if a picture is worth 1000 words, i'm not sure how many thousands this one is worth...

our christmas in columbus did not go exactly as planned, but turned out to be an (almost) perfect day.  (we were missing a few family members due to the always-hated holiday cold/flu.)

spending time with fly boy's family only made me more excited for the arrival of our baby girl.  i know it's cliched, but there is something magical about christmas with a house full of children.

watching our niece play with her new princess aurora, our nephew with his sister's pretty pretty princess camera and our other niece play with her brother's airplane...i couldn't get enough.

i can't wait for our house to be full of family, children, cousins, aunts and uncles.
it seems crazy to think that next year we will have a 10 month old and a new aunt jess.
crazy wonderful.
