We are in such a fun, crazy, busy time of life, but I want to remember the details so badly so here are a bunch of pictures to hopefully get most of what we did leading up to Christmas!
We had a fabulous Ward Christmas party. Seriously incredible decorations and great food!
Our wonderful bishop as the Polar Express Conductor!
Alli found glow in the dark teeth somewhere that night at our house and wanted to see how they glowed. So I have a super blurry pic of her in the pantry baring her teeth for me!
We went sledding at Grandma's-too bad the snow has been super hard and pretty crappy for playing in since then :(.
All of us cheese balls delivered our neighbor presents-yummy homemade cheeseballs and crackers.
The girls always want to ride in the back of the truck, but this time we let them since we were going from house to house. One of us drove and the other rode with them. They had so much fun and were pretending they were dogs riding in the back of the truck-silly girls!
Cam LOVED our cheese ball so anytime it was out he was definitely in on the action!
We got cute toenails. The girls both got darling snowflakes!
Alli's kindergarten class had a Christmas performance. Cam was so excited to see Alli so before it started he went to visit.
She sang those songs so well-knew the actions and the words. It was so fun watching her and she did so well sat her special part!
Eating cookies for dessert after.
Two of her cute friends
Ilene requested a silly face. Sometimes we let the girls have a turn staying up "late". Ilene was "hungry" and needed a snack so she had graham crackers and milk and hung out with us for a bit. It is really fun having that one on one time with them! Alli will be the BEST cleaner if it means she gets to stay up late so she will ask me if I have cleaning to do...
Cam was dying to swing outside so he was bundled and loving it!
Cute boy in his Christmas clothes. I did not get one picture of all 3 kids together in their Christmas church clothes :(. Mom fail right there! I want to do a makeup one, but forget on Sundays!
My beautiful big girl getting all ready in her church clothes. When did she get so grown up!!
She wanted her hair straightened and Ilene went with curled. Ilene wasn't feeling well though-another darn fever episode- so she isn't in any pre-church pics.
Gingerbread houses!
Ilene kind of perked up enough to do hers.
Yup don't worry that is puke I am taking a picture of...poor Cam got a nasty tummy bug!
This dude keeps us going...and laughing...he will sit in his high chair for about 30 seconds and then is done.
But he's dang cute! Ryan and I wanted to get in shape so I did a Jillian Michael's video about 5 times (in 3 weeks-not too impressive, but it was more than before and I haven't done any exercise since then...) So Cam would grab the mini weights and want to do stuff with us.
And back to the ward Christmas party meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus-a cute older couple who live up the street. Ilene definitely has a creepy face in this pic!
Cam watching and wondering who this guy in a red suit is... gotta check him out first!
With some cute girls in our ward who love them!
Cam really was a bit leery. Never fully made it to Santa's lap...
The Nativity portion of the program.
Our little stud muffin Cam Man rocking Dad's beanie and a chocolate messy face!
Yup back to that poor stomach bug :(. Sooo nasty to be covered so much.
I guess he felt better after?? And thought he was pretty dang funny!
We get some CRAZY icicles on our back deck during the winter-stalactites and stalagmites for sure!
So here is some evidence of some of the big ones.
I'm telling you he is a crazy man and it is not for lack of telling him to get down or moving him down. He made a total mess on his clothes so he ended up naked.
I think this is a fairly typical state of our living room-toys out and playing with kids! Ilene wanted to play catch with the velcro ball/catcher.
We got a Christmas package from Colin and Cori's family and it had a ton of lovely packing peanuts...the kids loved it until we vacuumed them up!
Ryan's grandpa Gordon held his annual Christmas party at the Chuck-a-rama, here are some and then all of the kids.
Back to Alli's cute school performance.
Cam getting his workout on with dad. He thought it was so fun to "help" Ryan.
It was so good to see Ilene perk up-hate when my poor little girl is sick!
A crazy mask Alli saw out Christmas shopping with dad.
They also found a fun nativity a few days before Christmas we used for FHE and to cheer Ilene up.
