Brayden meeting Santa!

Showing Santa his new car!

Wow, this has been a busy few months for us! On November 15th we found out that we are going to be adding another little one to the Koegel Family in July!! We are getting more and more excited as I get further along, but also really nervous as well. We will be living in England soon which means I will be delivering a child in a different country! :0 Although, my mom has already planned a trip for early July. That will make things a little easier knowing she'll be there to help with Brayden and the new little one for awhile. As of today I am 11 weeks and 2 days!! I am finally starting to feel better :) It is still hit or miss with the "morning sickness" and it's not lasting ALL DAY like it was! I did not experience this at all with Brayden, so I am convinced we are having a different flavor this time ;) We honestly don't mind what we have, but it would definitely be CHEAPER to have another boy!

We had a quiet and relaxing Thanksgiving with a couple that is in training with Johnny. The turkey turned out perfect and the food was unbelievably tasty! We sure missed seeing family though :(

Brayden got to watch Santa taxi in an F-15 and was very excited to see him! He thinks Santa travels via fighter jet. We also got a Santa in an airplane blowup for our yard this year, so he is convinced he flies them! We have been showing him Christmas movies to get him familiar him, so that he wouldn't be scared and apparently it has worked! Last night we went to a Christmas party and got to see Santa again and sit on his lap and even get a present from him......he did it all willingly and with all smiles. After opening his present he had to go show Santa his new McQueen car and tell him all about it! It was the funniest thing to watch them interact. He followed Santa everywhere he went and just wanted to chat him up!

We are mostly ready for the Holidays and getting very excited to see my family! They are coming here, so it will be nice not to have to travel this year! We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year!! May you always remember the Reason for the Season!!

We have taken alot of pictures lately and I wanted to post a few so enjoy!
