Christmas Eve 2010

On Christmas Eve we went to Grenada to have Christmas with my family.  All I can say is that our children got so many presents I hope they were not too disapointed with Santa... Below are a few pics of the kids playing together. 

Sweet girls!

Camden Turns 2!!

On Saturday, December 11th we had a small but wonderful birthday party at our house for Camden.  It was perfect and she had a blast! Below are several pictures from that day (thanks to Stacy!).  I can't believe she is already 2 years old!! Today we watched some videos from when she was just learning to walk and it feels like time is flying by so fast!! I just want to rewind it sometimes so she can be a little baby again.
 I am so glad I get to spend everyday with them, I know we are extremely broke and will probably never "get ahead" like some couples.  But we have a roof over our heads and food on our table and when we are older we will have so many wonderful memories of spending time with our children.  Material possessions and social status' are at the bottom of my priority list and I am so thankful to have a supportive husband who is willing to let me live my dream of staying home and raising our children.  It is really tough at times but more times than not I feel more fulfilled than I ever could sitting behind a desk.  So enough of my useless babbling....enjoy the pics!!

"ta da!"  Isn't she precious?!?!

She still adds "ornaments" to the tree everyday

Camden's cake!! I love the way it turned out, Melissa did an awesome job.

Breakfast with Santa

Saturday morning our church had a pancake breakfast with Santa! It was great, they had crafts for the kids and the kids got to have their picture made with Santa.  Camden agreed to stand next to him as long as he was holding Neil (who was screaming his head off).  But we got a picture and she got to make some ornaments for her tree at home with one of her friends.  I thought it was great but next year we will let her watch the other kids go up there and sit with Santa before taking her.  I wasn't sure she had fun because she was quiet but when we got home she wanted to put her ornament on the tree and she talked about getting to see Santa all that day, so I am really glad we went.  When I went to watch her hang her ornament I was suprised to discover that she wasnt near the tree but I found her in her room and she told me it was going on "her" Christmas tree!

Craft time with her friend Rachel

Not the greatest picture but could have been worse...

Getting ready to put her new ornament on her tree
