Christmas Time!!

Christmas this year for us was celebrated in Utah with my parents. The kids absolutly love being at Grandmas house so add a few new toys to that and it equals heaven!! Cawa's is definatly a Grandpas boy.
We had a great Christmas and Santa even got our note saying we were in Utah. He brought Camden this pink scooter with a helmet and even knee pads. Safety first!!

Zoom-Zoom!!

Cawa's was a fan of all the unwrapping. He would just run from one unwrapped present to the next and didn't even care who is was to.

Snow White was one happy camper!!!

So was my mom, she got a laptop and boy was she suprised. It was so funny, she was more excited than the kids.

Snuggie time!!

Christmas wouldn't be complete without the #1 seller!!

Camden and her cousin played dress up the rest of the day!!

Cawa's and Hunter sat on Grandma's new power-wheel pretty much the rest of Christmas day. They didn't care that the battery wasn't charged, just sitting on it is all the fun they need!!

Hope everyone had a great Holiday!!!

It's TRUE!!

Most people already know but yes it is true, the cat is out of the bag and we are pretty excited!!!

We will be going from our 2 precious little ones to 3 precious little ones. We still have a long time to get used to the idea but it has a deadline. July 3rd. We can place the bets on what is will be boy or girl but either way healthy is all we can ask for. Camden on the other hand has a baby sister picked out. Guess we will have to wait all the way til then to know for sure!!

High 5's all around!!

Camdens Performance

Tuesday we had Camden's preschool Christmas program. Camden loves school and has already learned so much so it's fun to have a little program so they can all show off their stuff. Camden was very excited to have us come and watch her.

Singing songs!!

Presley is one of Camdens friends saying what she wanted for Christmas.

(hope this is good Jesika, i have more if you want them!!)

Brynn, Chandler, and Presley singing away!!

Camden saying her part she practiced so hard.

"Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Santa's Elves."

She did so good!!

Enjoying some yummy treats!!

Making her gingerbread house!!

BFF's!!

(2 goofy kids)

Tis the Season...

Tis the Season for PARTIES!!!

We went down to Utah this past weekend for some party time!! Cawa's got festive with his "elf hat" as Camden calls them!!
Also we enjoyed many feet of snow my in-laws get this time of year. Camden and Grandma went out to play in the snow and they wrote out Camden in the snow if you look close you can see it. They are standing in the C.

Cawa's whole little world revolves around "pa pa" It is cute, he doesn't even care about anyone else when papa is around. He is sitting on my lap as i am blogging and yelling at me "papa, papa" over and over and pointing!!

Our Mary this year was played by Camden!! She was so cute she just sat there quietly while we read the Christmas story. I told her that her one job was to make sure baby Libby(baby Jesus) didn't fall out of the manger. She was successful.

Riding in on the Donkey(aka Uncle Nate)!! She was even sporting the prego belly!!

Cawa's didn't want to dress up but he loved looking at baby Jesus!!

Opening presents!!! It took my kids forever to open their presents. I think Christmas morning might last awhile at our house!! Camden was so cute once she got her present open. She honestly looked like she was going to cry with excitment. She loves snow white and it was a cute snow white purse with all the accessories. I think i could take everything else back and she would be content!!!

Just happy to play with Grandma and Papa.

Done up in all her gear.

We also went to the annual Pinate Party for my mother-in-laws side of the family. I left my camera home but it was a blast.

What's next?

We had our ward Christmas party last weekend and to say the least it was a success. Good food, good company, entertainment, and most important Santa!!! This is Camden and her boyfriend Bradoc. Camden loves this little boy and let me tell you that is perfectly fine with me. He is the cutest, most polite little man i have ever met and i think they are a perfect match!!

Waiting in line for the meeting of Santa. Last year Cawa's was too little to care who was holding him but this year, his face says it all.

Look at the excitment!!

It was so cute after the party we were headed home and Camden says "What holiday is next, mom?" She thought that because we had met santa and received a treat bag that Christmas was over. Moving on to the next holiday!! It was cute, i then told her how we celebrate Christmas all month and that she will have lots of parties and she will probably see Santa again. Oh the mind of a 4 year old.

Cawa's waiting in line patiently and when it got to his turn he decided against it. But after he saw the treat bags he chose to try the line again and brave sitting on a strange mans lap!! What kids will do for a bag of treats! (p.s.- did you notice how big my baby is getting, what the crap! We cut his hair a little and now he looks like he is all grown up!)

AHH, success!!!

tuRkEY dAy

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!! I love all the food plus all of the thanks makes it one of the best!! I wanted to make an advent calender for my kids. I took me forever cause i am the slowest person ever to finish a project, but they turned out cute and the kids love them!! Everyday for the month of Nov the kids get to pluck a feather and on the back it says something that we should be thankful for that day and an activity!! Camden loved it everyday she picked a feather she said "look mom, it says we are thankful for pies so we better make one!" It was fun how much she got into it this year.
My parents and brother were so sweet to come all the way here to windy, cold Wyoming for the holiday this year. We are so grateful for having them in our lives!! Thanks for coming guys it was a blast!!

Not much to do in our small town but we did manage to squeeze in a turkey bowl!! My kids love to go bowling and so does my daddy!! It was super fun and the bowling alley here is super nice!!

The kids actually beat Uncle Jay and Grandma!! They did awesome and got a strike and a few spares!!

Mr. Man is a big fan!!

I will tell you, i absolutely suck at bowling i am lucky to break 100 (very lucky, like i have only done it once) but it was my day and i whooped everyone!! I got 145!! I even got a TURKEY!! Yeah for me!! Sorry i have to brag a little, my brother is like one of the people who is good at everything (except bowling) so i have to rub it in his face a little!!!
