We spent two weeks in Kansas City at Jason's parent's house. My parents came there as well. It was fun for everyone to see my belly and feel the baby move. We ate lots of good food, played some cards and a game called Farkle, and did lots of shopping. We always have a list of things we want to bring back with us that we can't get here or that we can get cheaper in the States. We had snow three times while we were there. The ground was covered the entire time. Somehow though, it was still not as cold as Aberdeen. The wetness in Aberdeen makes the cold seem worse.
Our Moms and Jason's sister also had a baby shower for us. We received a lot of the essentials we need to start off with. We managed to get all the baby shower things plus a stroller back with us on the plane! Jason worked very hard to pack it all. The cake says "Congratulations on your bump." I'll explain that in the next blog.
We actually have a funny story about our boxes. Jason had to make boxes to fit certain dimensions for the plane. So he had worked really hard to tape them together securely and pack them so no space was wasted and we could fit it all. Well, we get to the airport to go home and send the boxes through security. They start to open one of the boxes, and we are thinking "Great! They will never get it all packed again!". What triggered their sensors was a bottle of Head Country BBQ sauce. Jason's uncle Carter brought it to us from Oklahoma. It is great stuff! The security guy pulls it out and says "BBQ Sauce?!?" Jason says, "That is the best stuff you can buy." The security guy says, "You must not be from Kansas City." Jason replies, "I am, but it is still the best stuff you can buy." They must have thought we were crazy. Oh well.
When we got back to Aberdeen, we immediately started looking for a 2 bedroom place. We had thought we might get by for a while with our 1 bedroom, but quickly realized after bringing baby stuff home that it would not work. So we are currently flat hunting.

Glad to hear all three of you are doing well, and that your Christmas was enjoyable. Hope the flat-hunting goes well. I was wondering where you were going to fit a baby (and all that comes with it) in your tiny flat. Keep up the updates.
