Our first Christmas in our new home

This year Jeremy did not have Christmas off. (what a surprise) So we celebrated a couple days early at our house this year!

Jeremy's new barbecue tools to go with the gas grill he got!
I love the look on Kamryn's face! Santa left a kitten on our front door step.
She has been begging for a kitten forever.
She wanted to name it Sparkles, but since he's a boy we settled on Sparky.
Macy had a good time too
She likes her present from Grandma and Grandpa
I made my first turkey. This one was 17 pounds!

Cheers!
It was "snowing" in San Diego!
Macy was fascinated with it.
Uncle Dan was helping Kamryn with the pirate legos she got. (It used to be his)
We went to a place that has a whole street lit up with Christmas lights and scenes.

We hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Christmas with family

We were at my parents house this past weekend to have Christmas with my mom's side of the family. Kamryn and Macy had fun with their second cousins. Kamryn was so excited about the tool set she got from my aunt and uncle. Oh and now she has her very own umbrella!

I don't know how. . . but Macy took her pants off!

Kamryn crawled right up to my cousin Jeff and wanted him to pick her up. It was strange because the whole time, she was clinging to me.

The next day we went to Jeremy's parents house for a birthday/Chritmas get together. Melissa and I bought our girls matching dresses and we didn't even plan it!

Christmas activities

A while back we bought a gingerbread house kit. Kamryn could hardly wait to do it. So the other night we made it together and I think it turned out okay for our first time.


The true meaning of Christmas


Kamryn was in a Christmas program at her preschool. She did a great job singing, but she was like a statue up on stage. She stood very still and sang while all of the other kids were dancing and looking at themselves on the 2 big screens that were on either side of the stage.

Santa visit

This past weekend Santa and Mrs. Claus came to visit a local shopping center. They rode in on a fire engine. They gave free rides to the kids, and Kamryn was beyond excited to ride on a fire engine! We got a picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus and we were able to make an ornament at a ceramic painting studio. I had the girls in mathcing dresses, in anticipation of their picture with Santa. It was so funny because I had several people ask me if I made their dresses. It was a lot of fun!

Thanksgiving

Jeremy had to work Thanksgiving this year, so Kamryn, Macy and I headed up to Tehachapi for almost a week. The first night there, my mom and I saw New Moon. The theater was packed! We went to my parents house and had fun with my cousins, Andrew and Emily. My mom was taking care of her friend's chickens, so Kamryn got in on the action. We went to a holiday bazaar, then Kamryn got to help Nana decorate the tree. We went to Jeremy's parents house for another Thanksgiving with Sarah, Spencer, Gemma, Jared, Melissa, Carson, Brooklyn and Ashlyn. It was so cute having the babies sit together. They will be good friends someday!
