Christmas with the Egberts

We decided to have a cake decorating activity and these are the final results... I know we are pros, but keep in mind that this is the first time we worked with fondant and it is homemade!

Cami on "Christmas" with the Egberts! Santa came early for us this year!

Jenna and Jackson and Bailey is the dog.

JD with his favorite present, I am sure. I have never seen anyone go through as much chapstick as he does...not that I am to blame at all with that...


Katie trying her hand at unwrapping.
Cami loved unwrapping so much she wanted to help everyone else.

I think the Elmo from Nana and Grandpa was her very favorite!

JD got a book and it was a bit of a struggle to pull him away.

I know this is blurry, but I loved it anyway! This is the Christmas Eve party with the Shively family. We had some snacks and played volleyball and just caught up with family!

Christmas with the Redd's

Christmas morning and Cami got to sleep in!




I love JD's face in this one.

After church Cami got to see her presents and look in her sock. She loves pulling stuff out of her sock.





I made some of the presents we gave this year and it was lots of work, but helped me get in the Spirit of Christmas and save some money too.

We had a nice dinner with the Burtons on Christmas.









Anna got some balloons for Christmas and Cami loved the flowers she made.

Cami thought she was going to head home with the Boyle's... not sure what the attraction is to infant seats.
Nicole Steve and Jackson! It was great to see you guys!


Cami loved opening presents, it made Christmas much more fun this year!
Cami got two cute tutu's for Christmas. Initially she was scared of them, but a lot of persuasion later and here you go. Ainsley loved them. Our friends the Hickenloopers came up to Idaho Falls for JD's Birthday.

I thought Steve would appreciate this picture even though she is loading it the wrong way. She thought they were pretty awesome.

JD's birthday, yes there is a funny story behind this book,  JD just really like this movie even though is is a very silly movie so his mom got him the book for his birthday!

Cami waiting in Denver for the last flight to Austin. She was wonderful on the way home. I am so grateful!

Christmas Vacation part 2

Cami loved the balloons from the sign Jenna made us!




Playing with the cousins!

This is how Cami gave Katie loves.



Santa! Except he is a statue...we found him at the museum in Idaho Falls. They had a nativity and gingerbread exhibit.

My favorite ginger bread house at the exhibit.
Some of my favorite nativities from the exhibit.





After seeing the exhibit, we decided to make our own gingerbread houses! Steve's was my favorite, he had a sweet porch and chimney!
Jackson with his sweet house that Jenna helped him make.

The line up!

JD's and Nicole's



Cami ready for her first adventure in the snow... Ok I think she probably saw snow last year, but she was too little to play in it. And she didn't really play in it much this year because she had a cold, but we at least made a better introduction!
