Christmas

Christmas is in the Air!

This year we did not set up Christmas until a week and a half before Christmas eve. We still had fun and enjoyed not having to keep Camilla out of the tree and ornaments. She loved to put them in her mouth.

It was fun to remember the days when my siblings and I were younger putting up the tree at Christmas time. Singing and playing as we listened to the old readers digest records full of Christmas music. I do enjoy this time of year!!!

Our Holiday!

This year was pretty calm and relaxing. We had Christmas Eve at Janette's and Eric's with simple easy snack items. It was fun and enjoyable, we just talked and played games.

Because we stayed up late at Janette and Eric's we were able to sleep in, because the kids were so tired that was very lovely. We just got up leisurely and opened presents. Brody was so much fun this year really animated in opening his gifts and helping Camilla with hers. He just loved everything and ooh'd and aah'd everything that he saw. Camilla was just fine opening one gift playing with that one gift until she was done with it. I finally had to start taking her toys away so she would finish opening her other gifts. Although it was nice to sit and enjoy the kids I wanted to be done with opening the presents.

Brody was so excited to get his Woody, he just wanted to sit and say what he says in Toy Story 3

Camilla just was laughing and squealing at this toy that sings and spins.

I was just great to spend time together and enjoy our little ones, because the grow so fast.

I am truly grateful for the joy the season of Christmas brings to me. I know we are truly blessed!!!

I am not sure if I covered everything we did. I guess this is what happens when it takes forever to blog about something.
