miller christmas up first.

we arrived in louisville on the 23rd of december. the flight went well from what i remember... but i don't really remember :)

we had our immediate families meet us at ww. cousins with the intentions of telling them about our baby on the way. no one knew but my sister. i was so excited to get their reactions (i expected nothing but excitement since this time was a lil different) but they weren't what i'd hoped/planned for at all. nothing ever is i guess.

i had created a shirt for finn to wear. it was a picture of him doing a happy scream & the shirt said big brother on it. the plan was for everyone to see the shirt at the same time & figure it out, easily.

no one really showed up on time, so we kept finn's coat on as long as we could. then we took it off & put him in the high chair that was, ironically high enough that you didn't see his shirt at all, so no one noticed. everyone slowly rolls in throughout the dinner at some point. my sister is about to leave & we have everyone there (except my brother & bryan's brother, both out of town) so i say- well, don't leave without giving finn a hug, so she takes my cue & picks him up. denise at the other end of the table says "does that say big brother? " everyone kinda looks around the table with odd faces & i do an awkward giggle. my mom responds to something my sister says with "you're pregnant too!!" and rolls her eyes. why she thought steph was preggers i'll never know. we have to clear it all up by saying, yes, yes yes we're pregnant. almost 3 months. due in july. everyone stays in their seats. everyone kinda goes back to eating. & that's how our families received the news of resch/paris number 2. anti-climatic. bryan felt like it went way better than i thought, but that's how i remember it. luckily our extended families got super excited & i was relieved about that!

so onto the miller christmas. a few random pictures:

aunt teecee & finn. i found this awesome sweater at the goodwill! yeah christmas outfit that cost $5!
sweet lil kennedy.
not a fan of bob... err. santa.
but bryan's a big boy now so he loves him!
so does jeff!
it was recession themed christmas this year. so the parents all gave us one re-gift. something of ours from our past. except shoogy- she got some new awesome pajama's! i'm sure she wears them every night at slu!
finn wasn't even okay being in this close of a proximity to santa.
finn & kennedy. best of cousins!


christmas morning.

the knights go up the choo choo track, right?
good lord did nana & aunt rae rae spoil him.
oliver is so confused.
the boys putting together his new track. he loved it.
the weather had been so nice in phx that we were afraid how finn would react to not getting to be outside at all during our 2 cold weeks in ky. so aunt rae rae took him on a walk, despite how brrrrr it was!

resch's next!
