Out little man!!! Nice profile buddy!

I'm sure those of you who are not living in Vegas either saw it on the internet or the front page of most news sources....but yes, Vegas had a major snowstorm and we came home to LOADS of snow in our yard!!! We bundled our little pumpkin up in her puffy winter coat and had a ball playing in our yard. She looked like the stay puff marshmallow man and if we set her down she would just topple over onto her puff! haha It was adorable. Beau was a bit hesitant to even get out in the snow...I can't imagine it was too comfortable on his chubby little belly! But he ended up sprinting out into the snow and loved it once he got used to it! The snow stuck around for quite a few days and unfortunately all of our bushes and tress took quite the beating. Most either just snapped in half or froze to death! But it was worth it! The last snowstorm in Vegas was in December 1979...which ironically was the December of my very own 1st Christmas...so Bella got the same surprise on her 1st Christmas too!

We have been bouncing around at Christmas parties and holiday functions with our dressed up little princess. She is the hit at most parties because she is SO social and just bops around walking in and out of crowds and babbling to anyone who will listen. Everyone seems to be spoiling her terribly so she usually has a crowd hanging on her every word :)

As most of you know, and I would like to thank you again for everyone who voted for me, but I was a nominee at the Las Vegas Wedding Awards for 2008. I was nominated for Best Wedding Planner, Wedding Professional of the Year, and Rising Star Award 2008. I think I was more nervous to win because as most of you know I am NOT good in front of large crowds!! My nerves get the best of me!!! Although I did not win the Best Wedding Planner (which went to CLM Events) or Wedding Professional of the Year (which went to my friend Carrie Key of DragonRidge) I did win the Rising Star Award 2008!! This award is for the best newcomer in the Las Vegas wedding industry for 2008! I was SO excited to get this award. And to be honest, I was so honored just to be nominated for the Best Wedding Planner and Wedding Professional of the Year in my 2nd year of business with nominees that have been in business for 10 years +!! There were only 5 individuals nominated for Wedding Professional of the Year out of every single vendor market in Las Vegas. It was a wonderful night and it's nice to see all of the passion and hard work you put into something you love actually get recognized by other industry professionals.

The little man is growing VERY rapidly! My belly is in full effect these days and he is just kicking up a storm. I have to say though, that I am much more comfortable than I was at 6 1/2 months with Bella. She had begun giving me terrible back pain and kicking my ribs so fortunately he has not done that to me....yet! hahaha We don't go to the doctor again until the first week of January and then after that we are on to appointments every two weeks. Are we really to that point already!!!!???? My how time flies! I have had a horrendous cold again and of course have had to let it run its course with no antibiotics. Thankfully the baby is doing just fine and weathering my cold...although every time I take a Sudafed he starts doing the Mamba for a good hour or so! Hopefully we will get some more ultrasound pictures at our next appointment to show you all!

We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday with your families....we love you all and Merry Christmas!!!

Matt, Sunnie , Bella and Beau XOXOXO
