December

We went to the gateway mall for dinner at Tucanos to celebrate Nicole and Kib's Birthday. After dinner we did some shopping and went to look at the water fountains. There was also a huge pine tree that was covered in lights. Camrie found a spot where she could go inside of the tree so we took some pictures of her and Brooky in there.

Helping papa blow out his Birthday candles on his pecan pie.

Here are some pictures that we took of the girls one day before church. They looked so cute in there matching sweater dresses.








Look at this curly hair. This is what Brooklyn's hair looks like when she gets out of a bath.
I took Camrie to my aunt's house to have her make gingerbread houses with my cousin's kids. They had lots of fun eating lots of candy and putting a little on there houses.
We spent Christmas Eve at the Jacobson's. It was a lot of fun and we got spoiled. This is Brooky enjoying the boxes. She kept getting in it and then would just sit there.

Camrie showing off the snow white dress that Grandma Donna got her. She kept this on the rest of the night. She wanted to sleep in it but we wouldn't let her.

Camrie getting papa to open the Cinderella doll that Aunt Nicole got her. She took this to bed with her.

This is a scarf that Brooky got from Grandma Donna.

Most of the evening was spent with Brooky and Myla climbing on the stacks of Christmas presents. They thought that the boxes were the best presents of all. They loved seeing how brave there where by climbing up on the biggest boxes.

Nate can always get Brooklyn laughing.

The girls getting there Christmas PJ's.

The cousins hanging out in the ball crawl that Uncle Jake gave Brooklyn. It was a big hit with all the girls. I only have this one picture from Christmas day everything else was on the video camera. Camrie wanted her Snow White dress back on the moment that she got back up in the morning. Jake got Camrie a pair of skates and a kid laptop. All of his gifts where big hits.
Camrie loves to go out and help her dad shovel the snow. She has this cute little shovel from Discovery Toys that is just her size.

November

Brooklyn really wanted to go out and join Camrie and Cam making the snow princess.
Brooklyn all bundled up and ready to go out side.

We ate Thanksgiving dinner with Cam's family this year. We all went over to Cam's uncle Gary's house. Gary really knows how to put on a meal. This was our centerpiece for the table then he had another turkey that we actual ate. Nicole had made cute name tags for all of us with a treat next to them. Everything tasted so good and it was nice to get to visit with everyone.

Camrie and Ben playing with the Nativity before we had Thanksgiving dinner.

Nate giving Grandma Donna a piggy back down stairs.

Riding the marry-go-round at Bondocks on Thanksgiving. We went with Nate's family to bowl a little bit that night. Brooky is not so sure that she likes marry-go-rounds. Camrie on the other hand loves them.

Looking at lights at Temple square. We went the day after thanksgiving this year and it was freezing cold, but there were not a lot of people.

This is Camrie's favorite part of all the lights. We try and go here last because once she gets here she wont leave. I think she watched it like 5 times through. I went inside with Brooky and tried to keep her happy. I finally ruined Camrie's fun by making her leave.

Making Gingerbread houses at the Jacobson's

Halloween

The girls all playing at Grandma and Papa Loves in their Halloween costumes.

This year for Halloween Brookyln was a monkey because that is the costume that we had from Camrie.
Camrie was Belle from beauty and the beast. I made her dress for her birthday. To make it more special for Halloween I found a child size Belle wig and got her some dress up jewelry.
Camrie was not wanting to take pictures at all so that is why she has a silly face in everyone. We took the girls to a few of my parents neighbors to trick or treat. Then we went over to our church where they had an indoor trick or treating so that we didn't have to be in the rain. It was so nice to be able to let Camrie do the trick or treating but not have to be out in the cold, wet rain. For some reason we can't find any pictures that we took of the girls for Halloween. These are pictures that Jon and Alison had so if any one has pictures of the girls please send them to us. Thanks

October

Here are the girls thinking that it is pretty funny to balance on Papa's belly.
Camrie and Marcella checking out the witches.

Brooky enjoying her view of the witches from the stroller.

A Sunday at my parents house. My dad built a "castle" for the girls out of blocks. I remember my dad doing this with us when we were little.

The girls playing together.

Camrie wanting to do funny/scary faces.

Camrie taking over the camera and taking pictures of whoever she could get to sit still.

If Camrie finds you sleeping she will most likely take a picture of you if she can get her hands on a camera. Here is my brother Jake and the dog Max sleeping.Brooky found my phone and was pretending to talk on it. She would put it up to her hear and make her little noises.
One day while I was gone Cam made a fort for Camrie to watch a movie in. He tied all of the blankets up to the fan and then set up his laptop under the table that is holding some of the blankets out.

When I got home she was sound asleep under there. We went on a hike with my mom, sister and a cousin. When we got done we ate some lunch at a picnic table. While we were there Camrie saw a bunch of kids climbing a big rock and then sliding down it so she wanted to do it also. This is her sliding down it.

Here she is after she had just climbed to the top. She felt so brave doing this.
I came out one day to find that Camrie was going to get herself something to eat. She had gotten a stool and used it to get down a bowl and a bag of cereal. Then she got out some milk and a spoon. When I found her it looked just like this. She had poured the cereal in and had the lid off the milk ready to take care of that part also. Some times she thinks she is so grown up.
If you can't tell Camrie is going through a stage where she loves to do funny faces. This is funny faces next to her's and Brooklyn's princess pumkins.
Camrie took this picture of Brooklyn. Brooky was eating the rest of Camrie's apple that she hadn't finished and Brooklyn was really happy to got to hold it and eat it like her big sister.

Camrie playing dress ups. She had put on Brooklyn's Halloween costume.

The girls taking pictures with the pumpkins that we grew in our backyard this year.

As they were growing I kept looking and could only see the little green pumpkin so I was sad that we didn't get more. We had lots of the little decorative ones. Then like a week or two before Halloween I saw the huge one back in the corner hidden by the vines and leafs. It was still pretty green and I think that is why we could never see it until it started to get orange and then it stood out from the vines.
