Christmas Eve

This year we spent Christmas Eve and morning with the Joneses.

We of course opened our pajamas Christmas Eve. cam loved his Thomas PJ's.

Here he is modeling them, slippers and all!

Then we acted our the nativity. Cameron was so excited to be the shepherd.

I played Mary, Tyson was Joseph, Jen was an angel, and Landon was the wise man. Over all it was an amazing performance!

We had such a fun break with Daddy! We spent a week together as a family, and then a week at each of our parents. Cam had a hard time when his dad went back to school last week. One of the fun things we did was ride the train at the mall. Cam was so excited. He even went back and rode it again with his Grandma. The kid loves trains!!!

Ward Christmas Party!

Cam was so funny about Santa Claus. He was kind of understanding. When he came out he wanted to sit on his lap and get a candy. He waited in line like all the other kids and sat up on his lap and said choo choo and got down. Ever since we read this book where Santa comes in the morning he has been saying Santa, train, Cam. Way too smart!!! Thought we still had a year or so, but we were wrong. He wouldn't smile, but he didn't freak out like I expected.

Here's one of my crazy ideas, I got from Family Fun (thanks Sheri). I've been saving adds for a while.

Christmas is Coming

We have been having so much fun getting ready for Christmas and talking to Cameron about it! He loves Christmas, Baby Jesus, Santa, Reindeer's, you name it!
We went to the festival of the trees last week and he actually sat with Santa. I was shocked. he was all about it because he wanted the candy, but he wouldn't look at the camera.

We also decorated our tree last Monday, and Cameron was such a good helper.

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be grateful for. Especially our family. We had a pretty crazy holiday break trying to squeeze in both families, with each side. We did it though. It started off by Jeannine's side getting together in the morning. I finally got to meet Uncle Ralph and we had a good time.
That afternoon my dad's sad reserved a church and we all got together. (almost 60 of us)!

The little kids loved all the toys in the cultural hall. Here is Cohen and Cam riding on the boat together. My Uncle Marty also brought ping pong and some other games for the big kids.

Most of the girls were in beading, thanks to Jenn.

Miley is just too cute not to mention!

Here's my mom, Sheri and Staci.

Then my mom, Sheri, Staci and I hit the stores early Friday morning. It was a blast. We thought everything was funny! Then, at six-thirty we headed to Idaho for the day with the Jones side. We celebrated Christmas with them.

The much needed four generation picture. Papa, Layne, Tyson, and Cam

Cam and Landon just had a great time playing together.

Cam had to go see Uncle Mike feed the cows!

Brett and Kristin got Cam and Kennedy the cutest BYU outfits! Thanks again!

Saturday I got to see my mom's side in Brigham while Tyson went to the BYU vs. Utah football game. We finally made it back home on Sunday in time for the third hour of church. Crazy, but fun!

Tyson's Birthday

Tyson turned the big 26! Last month November 21st. We love him so much!
Cameron and I made this sign for him to wake up to Saturday morning. It hung up in our living room for way to long.

The festivities started the night before with dinner with my parents and the Utah State vs. Boise State Football Game. Then our friends scored us tickets to the BYU vs. Air Force game the next day. So more football!!

Here's a family shot!

Touchdown

Loves Football (for the first half at least)

Then we went to dinner with Tyson's family at the traditional spaghetti factory. Here's Jenn.

Tyson with his proud flag and Office Season 5.

Landon and Kimmy also joined us for dinner.
All and all I think it was a great celebration, we ended it with brownies, ice cream ,and friends!!!
Happy Birthday Honey!

Trip to California

So Cam and I flew to California to stay with the Weddle's. We had such a good time!

On Saturday we went to the near by mall and rode the train around. (Chanel, Brooklyn, and Gaige)

Brooklyn being so very cute!

Here's Chanel with Gaige.

Cam and I. He just loves trains and thought this was the best idea ever.

Then we took them to the pet store in the mall. Also a big hit!

We painted with pudding. By we I mean Brooklyn and I. This is probably the longest Cameron sat down. It was a great idea and Brooklyn really enjoyed it.

The cute kids on the chair watching Barney.

Here we are all playing ring around the rosie. It was one of their favorite things to do. Chloe even participated. Cameron was all about Chloe and kept asking her, "what are you doing?" It was quite comical.

Chanel had this colored sugar cookie dough that we played with.

Here is Cameron's blue tongue to prove that the dough tasted good.

We were singing songs after we made our cookies.

Of course it wouldn't be a California trip with out seeing the Ward's. So her is cute cousin Miley eating rice cereal. Ben, Sheri, and Miley came out to Chanel's Sunday night and then Sheri and Miley hung out with us until Tuesday. So fun!!

Here's Miley again in her car seat.

Hi Brooklyn. Everytime she saw me she would say, "Hi Sami"

On Tuesday we all invaded Chanel's ward playgroup. My cousin Holly and Owen came out to join us. It was so fun to see them. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures. Owen and Cam were loving playing together.
