Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was so much fun! We did so many things like a night with Santa at Pump It Up and Breakfast with Santa at the Cuckoo's Nest Restaurant and so much shopping and christmas parties. It's was truly a blast. What was even more fun is Christmas morning. Nick got Rock Band 2 and Star Wars stuff. Alex got a Wii and transformers and Brynlee got loaded up with baby dolls and a little kitchen. All the kids loved what they got and we had so much fun later that day playing the Wii games and Rock Band. I'm surprisingly pretty good with the drums. And Cam sings Pearl Jam and Nirvana songs like a pro. We were so happy to have Nana and Pops there along with Uncle Josh and Uncle Hunter. It was really a great Christmas. On top of all that me and Brynlee have been able to enjoy many tea partys with her new little kitchen. She doesn't like to come out of her room anymore. I really wish we could of had Uncle Ryan's family and Aunt Mallorie's family join us that would have added to the fun. We miss you!

Kami Cooks

Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a cook. Well, this year I proved ya'll wrong! For the first time ever I cooked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner. I don't think you can understand how excited I was when it was all done and it all tasted awesome. YEAH! I'm sorry, I have to brag a little, I've just never been much of a cook.

Sorry, I don't have any updated pictures of myself. This will have to do.

Breakfast With Santa Clause

In our town they have this cute thing called breakfast with Santa. You have to sign up way far in advance to come because they only take a small group of kids at a time. What we do is show up and eat breakfast while Santa Clause comes around and talks to each of the kids individually and give them a small gift. The kids love it. Then they get to read christmas stories and sing christmas songs. Brynlee really got into the songs this year,. It was pretty cute to watch. I wish I would have gotten more pictures. Then at the end, each of the kids get to sit on Santa's lap and get their picture taken. Brynlee didn't care much for that, she screamed the whole time. Alex was so thoughtful...he wanted to give something to Santa so he regifted one of the cookies that Santa gave him. I told him that he can't give Santa back his gift and to just go give him a big hug. So Alex blocked the door way as Santa was leaving and held his arms out really big and then Santa give him a huge hug, lifting him off the floor. He was so happy that he got a hug from Santa like that.

Alex's 6th Birthday

Alex chose to have his 6th birthday at "Pump It Up". He was so excited! He got to invite his entire kindergarten class and also all of his other friends from our street. He was really into the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man this year and he seemed to get alot of those kind of toys. It turned out to be a great party
