Christmas 2012

I know this is late, but, better late then never. Christmas started Friday night for us, with pink eye. Yes, Johnny picked the girls up from daycare and they informed him that Cambri "may" have pink eye. There was no doubt she did, so we called the doctor. Lucky for us they called a prescription in without having to see her. We spent Friday night with my Mom, her husband Brett, and my brothers doing an early Christmas.

I did most of the unwrapping of Cambri's gifts, though she helped some.

Bella got a super soft robe.

And a giant Justin Beiber poster... that's right, she has the Beiber fever...

Christmas morning, Johnny and Bella watched one of Johnny's favorite movies, Little Giants.

Bella thought Cambri should be a present. Pretty darn good present if you ask me!

Just dance 3. Looks like Bella and I will be having a dance off! "What is that? New high score, what does that mean? Did I break it?" (that's quoted from Grandma's Boy, for those of you who aren't up to date on movies.)

Cambri did better unwrapping her gifts on Christmas day.

Well really only her Santa gift, mommy ended up unwrapping the rest!

Santa brought a basketball hoop, and the first thing she did was SLAM DUNK! Then she ate the ball!

Yes those are hair feathers! Bella will be "stylish" for the next 10 years with all the feathers she got!

Santa brought Grace and Claire choo choo trains.

Footie pajamas... like Cambri wears.

Cambri's Christmas presents.

And the rest of the Lane families presents.

Katie got jammies like Cambri wears too!

John liked the cologne we got him.

Bella got Johnny a utility tool that said Dad from the holiday mart at school.

My sister in law Cassie and her soon to be husband Trent made us this Christmas fireplace, they even gave an extra stocking "just in case."

We gave Nancy a Grandma picture frame with pictures of all her grandkids, she loved it!

Bella and Cambri got a Sisters book, here bella is reading it to her.

I love to eat little people! Hurry up and open it mom!

And the walking toy!

Her favorite, she can walk everywhere now!!!

It was a very good Christmas, the gifts were awesome and it was even more awesome spending so much time with family this weekend. I can't wait to see them all again this weekend to celebrate the new year and go to a Christmas present basketball game! 

Caroling

On Monday Bella and her girl scout troop went to the local nursing home to hand out candy canes and sing Christmas songs. Here is some video...

Birthday Bash x2

This weekend I loaded the girls in the car and headed to Topeka to celebrate their twin cousins 2nd birthday. It's so hard to believe that they are two already!

After the party we took all the girls to see Santa (Katie and Scott too!)

 Happy birthday Grace and Claire, and let's get to three years old a little slower please!

Tooth

Well its official, Cambri has her first tooth! We have been expecting one for awhile now, but it finally broke through the gums. Today has actually been a pretty exciting day after an uneventful few weeks. I got home after an 11 hour shift (12 if you count the drive) to find out that Cambri also learned how to remove her diaper! The little girl is growing up so fast I'm afraid to blink.

Christmas Time

Last year we decided we were having a real Christmas tree from now on. We said this, and even gave our fake tree away so we didn't have a choice but to buy a real one. When we did this we didn't take into account that we would have a 8 month old baby this Christmas. Not only do we have an 8 month old baby, but this baby is insistent on climbing and pulling herself up on everything. A Christmas tree would be an ouchy to climb, and a bigger ouchy if it fell over on her. On top of the danger of a tree, we cannot put the wrapped presents in arms reach because she will unwrap them. So here is what we decided to do.

 Our presents and tree are on the wall behind our couch.

 Our Christmas tree is a 32" fiber optic fake tree.

But our stockings are where they belong.

Bella was a little disappointed that Santa wouldn't have a big enough tree to put our presents under, but after I reminded her that we weren't spending Christmas at home she was okay. After all Grandma has a big enough tree for all of her kids and her grandkids presents!

Art Show

Friday Bella's school had an art show, and a third grade concert. Our friends Natalie and Brian's son Dylan is in third grade so we went to the concert and then saw all the kids art.

 Bella's astronaut.

 Emily's planets.

Dylan's alien.

If you couldn't tell the art show theme was outer space. It's been awhile since we have all gotten together, so after the concert the kids played on the bleachers and then we all went to Dairy Queen. It was quite a fun evening.
