Before Christmas....

On the Monday before Christmas my dad came down. He was only down for a little bit, but it was fun to see him. I am sure I had pictures on my camera of that too. The boys love to see him!!
 
I can't remember which day but we also went to the Bellagio to see the gardens with Becky and Joe. I completely forgot about doing this and I know I had a ton of really cute pictures. At least Becky got some.
 

 

 
 
 
 
Their favorite part of the gardens was the trains. They just wanted to stand and watch them go around and around.
 
 
 
Cute little Cam.

We went to Town Square and did a little bit of shopping. Right before that we went and saw Eric over at the Palazzo/Venetian. It was fun to spend some time with Joe and Becky. I think the boys get them ready to be parents and how crazy it will be.

Like last Christmas we went to Town Square to see the arrival of Santa. We always get there early enough to get a great seat. Cam had no idea what all of the fuss was. Erica and Jeff came and some friends that just moved into our ward meet us down there too. Eric usually meets us after he gets off of work. The boys are always excited when the fire engines comes and especially when Santa comes.

Christmas Eve/Christmas

Christmas was really relaxing this year. We enjoyed our normal Christmas Eve with my family. We went up to Red Rock to do our traditional reading of the bird th of Jesus. We did not get kicked out this year :) It was really cold and windy, so I stayed in the car with little Cam. Afterwards we went to Mimi's Cafe. They put us in a back room where nobody else was. That was super nice because the boys could walk around without bothering anybody. When we were done eating we went back to Grandma and Bryan's house to open our Christmas p.j.s. The boys started getting really tired so we went home to get ready for Santa to come.

Luckily when my sister is here she gets plenty of pictures. Thanks Becky!!

The next morning the boys were so excited for Santa to come. He brought them many gifts including a trampoline for the to exert all of their energy on. I, unfortunately, do not have any pictures. Between Christmas morning and New Year's I lost it somewhere. It had all of Christmas morning and Kyle's birthday pictures on it. Soooo bummed! At least we have the memories. After we were done with all of Santa and Boise relative presents, we went to Grandma and Bryan's for more Christmas.

Cute picture of Eric and Cam.

They were all given their own ukelele.





Eric was given a guitar. He was really excited about it!!



Each of the boys were also given their own tool box with pretend tools. They also got a play work place.





Jeff made them a really cool car racing ramp.




Joe and Connor



All of them sitting on the couch playing their guitar/ukelele.



One of the boys' favorite part of the day....blowing out a candle to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Of course each of them had to have a turn.






It was a great Christmas!! We look forward to next year!! Little Cam will be walking all over the place.
