Christmas at our House

Christmas morning! Running down the hall. . .

She found her stocking!
so excited about her sequined coin purse.




Jaely opened Cami's stocking for her, while Cami sipped on milk.



Santa brought Jaely and Cami matching presents. Jaely was really excited to see what was in them.


Matching chairs. These kept Camryn occupied for almost the entire present opening time!




Jaely got a Ken doll, so now when she pretends the papa can be a man.

Opening up her loving family dollhouse.




Getting ready to open up the Extreme smart cycle from Grandpa Jer.


And now the easel from Nammy and Grandpa Steve
We stayed home all day so Jaelynne and Camryn could play all day with their new toys. Jaely really liked her giant magnifying glass that her uncle jason and aunt whitney got her.


Jae's necklace got caught in the slinky. Uh oh!

The easel is beautiful, adjustable and double sided. Love it!

To Grandmother's house we go. . .

We were all looking forward to going to Nammy's and grandpa's house. We hadn't been there since summer time. This was the first time Jaely really had to share her things with Camryn. Since Jaelynne is the oldest grandchild, things have always seemed to belong to her. She said things like "Let's go to my bedroom!" and "mama, i want to show you my new dresser!" The play kitchen was no longer just Jaely's. . . Camryn was very interested in it. When they played in it together, it brought such a smile to my face, but Jaely did have to go sit in time out twice because she ripped things out of Cami's hands. It was a little adjustment for her.

Matt saved this toy from when he was little. TJ is trying it out to see if it still works. By the time the thing had new batteries in it, Jaely wasn't sure about it anymore. TJ had fun with it.

I love visiting. We were exhausted when we got back home, but it was so great to spend time with family and to watch Jaely and Camryn play when they are not at home. I love to watch their interactions with family. It is so nice that Gail has so many things for Camryn so we don't have to pack half of our house.

Jaelynne's First Haircut

Aunt Angie had some free time on Christmas eve between appointments and asked if we wanted to bring Jaelynne. Gail offered to stay home with Camryn, since it was right during nap time. Jaely was super excited, but when we got to the salon, she became a bit more reserved and quiet. Her hair looks so much better! It was just a trim, but it looks a lot healthier. Jaelynne also got a feather in her hair. :) Thank you, Aunt Angie!Jaely kept biting her bottom lip.
