Scary Santa

Things started out okay...Camden actually was smiling when I set him down, but they didn't snap the picture quick enough. Then, Santa decided to give him a kiss and...

things went downhill fast! Poor little guy was not happy! He kept looking at me like "who is this big, scary guy?!" Luckily he had a quick recovery once Mama was holding him again. Even though he is crying, it was fun to visit Santa for the first time! I plan on framing our Santa pics every year with the year on them and displaying them at Christmas. Should be fun to look back over the years!

Mimi & Grampa Come to Visit

Mimi and Grampa made a quick trip to Dallas this past weekend! Camden LOVED spending time with his grandparents. A HUGE thank you to both of them for making the trip down and providing some free babysitting services so that Friday night we could go to our annual Lifegroup Christmas Party!And Saturday, we could go to the Big XII Championship. Although the Huskers lost, we really enjoyed getting to be there to see the action! (The loss is the reason for only one picture~Toby wasn't really in the picture taking mood after the game.)

Meet "Dodger" the Dragon

Mimi and Grampa gave Camden a really cool Go, Baby, Go! Dragon for Christmas that he loves! It is named "Dodger" since Mimi's school mascot is the Dodge Dragon. We didn't know if Cam was old enough to enjoy it yet, but to our surprise he is really enjoying both ways to get around on it. Thanks, Mimi and Grampa for the fun new toy!

Thanksgivemas

While in Nebraska we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with Toby's family since we won't be together in December. We really enjoyed our time together as always and loved getting to see Camden play with his cousins! Here are some pics from our fun time together!

Camden opening his first present ever...cool trucks from Uncle T.J. & Aunt Marla! Excited about his new ride and push dragon...more pics to come on that!
Isn't this sock monkey hat the cutest?! Thanks, Mimi! Camden LOVED playing with and watching Joshua play! I think these two will have so much fun together over the years!!! Mimi with her two youngest grandkids. Susannah and Camden are only a little over 7 months a part! So fun to have cousins close in age!

I borrowed these pics from Uncle Matthew, but I guess since he was the photographer, he is missing from all of them! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Getting all of his energy out at the play area at DFW.
Playtime on the plane before take off. (Sorry I couldn't get this picture the right direction.) Knocked out!
Mama and Cam sleeping hard!

Camden flew for the first time over Thanksgiving break! We went to Nebraska to be with Toby's family and decided in lieu of the 10+ hour car ride, we would bite the bullet and fly. I was a little nervous about how Camden would do, but as always, he was super flexible and did great! Both ways he played for the first few minutes, took a bottle during take off, and then quickly fell asleep. On the way there the flight attendants were super noisy when they came by with the drink cart and woke him up, but on the way home he was out all the way! We were so proud of our little traveler!

First Haircut!

There has been a great debate in our household for the past month or so on Camden's hair. I wanted to get Cam's haircut and Toby didn't think we should. So, this week Toby agreed that it was time to cut our little boys long, out of control locks! It has gotten so hard to make it look half way decent. :) Toby had a tourney today, but his parents were in town and we decided to take him in. I was prepared with puffs and toys and had prepared myself mentally for lots of crying. Much to my surprise, there were no tears at all! He happily played in the car with the keys the whole time. The stylist was able to do a really thorough job and it looks super cute (although I think it is a bit too short)! My handsome little guy looks so grown up!

Dedication Video :)

Not that exciting, but I figured the grandparents might like to see this! Thanks to our friend Sarah for sharing this.
