Christmas time is here

I have always had a hard time writing or typing "Christmas".  It usually comes out "Christina" or a mixture of the two. We had a great Christmas in Wisconsin.  I thought for sure we would have a white Christmas, but we are still enjoying snow-free weather!  I will take it as long as I can! :)

We have had lots of new changes over the past 2 weeks.  Here are some of the highlights of our Christmas break so far:

CAMILLE IS OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED!!

and............

ELEANOR IS ROLLING OVER!!

We are all ecstatic about both.  Potty training was much better than I was expecting it to be.  We are happy to be down to one child in diapers.  Eleanor is excited to be moving around more and is still a happy and sweet little girl. 


Here are some pictures of the rest of our happenings:

Admirals hockey game--Date night plus Elle.  She was so good, everyone turned around after the game and said, "wow I didn't even know there was a baby there!"

Cam giving Elle a shoulder ride
 

3rd Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater party.  I'll spare everyone their pictures on here and email them to you. :)

Making their gingerbread house

Oh the concentration...I love it!

Christmas Eve party with friends

New pj's on Christmas Eve

And of course, Christmas!  After all sleeping in, we video taped Camille running out of her room in the morning.  She ignored the gifts and went straight for the table to see if Santa and the reindeer ate the treats we left them the night before.  We opened everything slow--I think it was 4:30pm before we finished.  It was wonderful, I wouldn't mind making that a family tradition.  Although I'm sure our kids would hate it when they were older.

After church, the gift opening commenced.

A sleeping bag!

What she asked Santa for--a cell phone

and a kitchen set.  We will have lots of fun playing with everything!
