It's Been Awhile!!

It has been so long since I have posted anything on this here blog. So, I have a bunch of things to post in one super duper big posting.

CaMeRoN's 3rd BiRtHdAy!!

Cameron had a great 3rd birthday. He wanted another Thomas the Tank Engine birthday. He had all his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas over for his birthday bash. He had a lot of fun.







Home Addition!
Strangly enough, we started construction on our new addition above our garage in the cold, cold winter time. It has been quite an ordeal, but is almost finished. We have one ginormous bedroom which Cameron will call home in a few weeks. It is all painted and finished and is just awaiting its carpet. The outside is waiting for stucco and gutters to be completed. Cameron is so excited for his "own bedroom". We are excited to get all of his toys out of our bedroom, living room and dining room. I hope that he will actually sleep in it and really enjoy it.






Christmas!
We had a wonderful holiday season this year. We had a fun AVIS party, where Al played Santa again. Cameron didn't even notice that he was sitting on his own daddy's lap!
We had a great Christmas party at Mandy and Jason's house. All of the families were there, minus a few of the older kids. It was lots of fun. The younger kids picked one of their own toys that they wanted to give to one of their cousins for Christmas. It was a fun and different way to exchange gifts and Cameron really thought it was cool to give Abby one of his beloved puzzles!
Katie, Sean, Parker and my parents came over on Christmas Eve for dinner. It was fun to be with our family on that exciting night for the kids. Even though our house was in a state of emergency, it turned out ok. We sang karaoke on the Wii and the kids got to open their pjs to sleep in.
Christmas day was great. We had our Christmas morning fesivities here at our house. Chan got an Ipod docking station, Nate got a camera and Cameron got a Geotrax airport and a vacuum cleaner. We then headed down the block to my parents house for more fun! Katie, Sean and Parker were there, then my brother, his wife and their kids came over. It was great to spend the day with everyone.
That evening we headed out to Bonnie and Bert's house for a yummy, yummy dinner! The kids had a great time opening more presents and playing together. Cameron, Kaden and Abby really have a lot of fun together!!
It was a great Christmas! Our New Year's was a quiet one. It was nice to just chill out at home and watch movies and TV.
