thanks, aunt jasmine!

a sweet friend, jasmine who moved to georgia earlier this year (i miss her terribly, by the way) sent me the sweetest gift... it's a mom-to-be christmas ornament!

jasmine is a christmas decoration fanatic... and i give her that title since she had a christmas tree up BEFORE halloween was over! haha

but this thoughtful ornament will properly document my "pregnant christmas"...since next year will be BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS! (oh my word!)

this little ornament is a pregnant lady with a jar of pickles in her left hand, and a bucket of ice cream in her right hand!
the charm above her head says "mom-to-be angel" on one side...

and "heavenly license to crave" on the other! :) (with the year on the bottom--duh!)

i am sooo excited about this gift! after a recent trip to a christmas show, i kept seeing all of the "baby's first christmas stuff" but had tried to figure out how to properly document THIS christmas... but, "hannah & lee's last christmas" didn't seem quite right (for obvious reasons... and "pregnant christmas" didn't either... but who knew! jasmine hit the nail on the head!!

thank you sooooo much "soon-to-be AUNT" jasmine! :) you just might motivate mamahop to get her christmas tree up a little early this year...ha ha!! we miss you!!

me & babyhop can't wait to see you...and yes, of course you have permission to rub the bump...ahem*

*beware--bump rubbing is CONTAGIOUS...COUGH COUGH
