December

The first week of December I went to see my friend Kanien in Indiana. I asked Cam if I could take a trip out to see her when he was in Mexico. I think that is why I got away with going for a whole week without the kids. He was feeling bad that I had to be home without him for three weeks. It was such a nice break and so fun to spend time with her and her family. I miss having them close to us. We mostly crafted and I didn't take a single picture.

 

Camrie's first dance recital. She did so good. She knew the whole dance and was one of the few that did it.

 At the place that we went to pick out a Christmas tree they had reindeer there to see. (My battery was almost dead so that is why the picture is so blurry.) The girls thought that it was pretty cool to see the reindeer.

 At our ward party there was a Santa Clause. Camrie was a little nervous when it was finally her turn to sit on his lap but she did sit there and tell him what she wanted.

 Brook on the other hand started to scream as soon as Camrie sat on his lap. Brook wouldn't even cross over onto the rug they had down to get close to him.

 This year again we went up to Cam's parents on Christmas eve to open presents instead of Christmas day so this is our evening at the Jacobson's. Camrie opening one of her gifts

 Brook opening the dolls that I gave to all the girls.

 The three girls in the princess towels that Grandma Donna gave to them. (When Camrie saw this picture on the computer she was like is that me? I told her yes. Then she said "WOW I'm so big". I guess she never has thought of herself being much bigger then the other two girls.)

 Helping Dad put the train together.

 Watching the train go around the Christmas tree.

 Our tree at home after Santa had stopped by.

 The girls getting into their presents.

 Showing off their new goods. They got bunk beds for Christmas to make room for the new baby that is coming in June. At some point all three will be in the one room together.
