It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's pretty obvious that we've been busy by my lack of posts with this pregnancy! Busy even during a pandemic when there's not much to do!
We spent a very quiet Thanksgiving with my mom in NY. The kids were so excited to stay at Babcia's house. Gabriel even said he was going to move in with her, and Grace kept repeating "Sasha's house" (that's currently her pronunciation of "Babcia") for days after we returned home.
The anatomy ultrasound we had in November went really well! No concerns with baby.
I've been feeling really good, just tired. (Makes me think it's a boy based on how similar I felt with Gabe's pregnancy!) Managing working from home, my dissertation classes, hybrid kindergarten, and entertaining Grace have been challenging. We are blessed to have Grandma here one morning a week and to have found a really nice nanny who comes two mornings a week. Now that kindergarten is fully remote (hopefully temporarily), it's even more difficult to navigate everything, but thankfully, my work semester ended for winter break already. 
We had the LaTour family over for a small family Christmas gathering this past weekend. Santa came, and you can see how that went over with Grace, haha!
I couldn't resist getting a picture with my mom in our role reversal. She used to be Santa when we were little and now I am for my kids.

Maybe one of these days I will start showing, haha! I'm just happy to be past the halfway mark now!
