Christmas

This year was so nice we didn't run all across the valley on Christmas day. Camrie was able to stay and play with her new toys in the morning. Kib and Leisa came down after we opened our presents and hung out for a while. Then we headed to my parents house so we could talk with LeRoy when he called from England. We visited at my parents house and opened some more presents. We went up and saw my grandma that night and Camrie got a horse from her which was so perfect because she has been into horses. When we got to my grandma's Camrie was asleep so we let her sleep while me and Cam grabbed something to eat. Then we headed back to my parents who were just getting back from visiting Jon, Alison and Norah who had just gotten home from the hospital. I then managed to talk Jake and his friend into coming to my parents house to play games with us. Which didn't last long because my aunt and uncle stopped by. For as long as I can remember we have always seen my dad's brother Steve and his family on Christmas day. sometimes we go to there house others they come to ours.

This is our Tree this year after Santa had stopped by and the stockings.

This is what we found when we went in to get Camrie.

When we finally got her to wake up.

Christmas eve

Brooklyn resting up for the big night.
This year we did Christmas eve at the Jacobson's. It was lots of fun. We had a nice dinner. Then Leisa planned some activities for us. We watched the night before Christmas video that went along with a book. Then we made antlers out of pantie hoes and balloons. Then Camrie counted for us while Cam popped the balloons.

We gave our gifts to each other Christmas eve so that is what we did for the rest of the night.
Leisa gave me and Nicole an apron, cookbook and hat. This cookbook is my new favorite cookbook. Cam's Aunt told us about it. I have liked everything that I have made and it has recipes to make almost everything from scratch if you want to.
Camrie opening a table and Chair set that Nana and Papa gave her and Brooklyn. I think that I was more excited for it then her. I had seen the set at Costco and really wanted to get it. I was shocked that me and Leisa had our eye on the same set.
Cam and Nate wrapping Kib's present with paper that was taken off other gifts.
Camrie sitting in Kib's gift, It's a seat for the back of his 4-wheeler, talking on a phone. What a diva. She is lounging around chatting it up.

Temple Square

We went to Temple Square again with my mom and sister this time. We told Camrie that we would come back because the last time we were there she was so sad that we had to leave. She just wanted to sit and watch the nativity by the visitor center. She loved seeing Baby Jesus.

When we went she wanted to bring her baby with us.

The Girls

Baby Norah

Alison my sister in law had her baby on the 23rd of Dec. It is so fun to have so many girls so close in age.

Here is a picture of the day she was born.

This is at 5 days old and one with Norah and Brooklyn.

This one is like a week old.

None of my pictures are very great of Norah but if you are friends with Jon or Alison on facebook you can see lots of cute ones that Jon has taken of her.

Nap Time

This is what Camrie was doing when she was supposed to be napping.She was standing on her bed looking out the window saying Hi to all the neighbors that were shoveling their driveways.

The long version

I put Camrie down for a nap and was cleaning and putting stuff away. Every time I would walk pass her room I would hear her say Hi. I thought maybe she had gotten out of bed and was looking under the door. So every time I passed she could see my feet. I got down and looked under her door but I couldn't see her. Then I quietly opened the door and peeked in and that is what I found. She was watching the neighbors shovel their driveways and was yelling Hi to them. Not knowing that they couldn't hear her. She never took that nap that she was suppose to be taking.
