Christmas and Skating

 Brother and Sister!
 So Christmas was a little strange this year for me. Not for any reason in particular, Maybe it was because we were so busy we didn't get the tree set up till mid December or because we were so busy. It ended up being a great Christmas! I made pretty much every Christmas present this year. Aprons, Framed pictures and art projects. A Tutu for Madison.



 We went to the Nativity as we do most years. Landon had a terrific time! Fell asleep sitting up. Silly boy!
 Bringing in the groceries Cammeron is always looking for a way to help. Normally its cereal boxes or cheese but on this day it was Milk, like it was nothing at all.
 Christmas eve at my Moms house. This is my Brother Andrew, showed up looking quite fancy!
 Grandpa Rob and Grandma Kari
Christmas morning, All standing there amazed that Santa had really come!




 For Christmas we got Tickets for Beauty and The Beast. This was the crazy couple we had to sit next to ;) Thanks Palmers!!


 Oh I love this kid. She drives me crazy and keeps me on my toes but is very funny.

 New years eve, I can hardly believe it is already 2012! How did all that time go so fast?
We have...well okay, I have decided we are going to start a new tradition. Weather permiting we will go skating on newyears eve. This year we went to Bowness park. It was Madison and Landons first time on skates and they both did well!




 Landon has been having fun bashing his face into things, first he dove into the van smashing his forehead into a knob, then he got poked in the eye with a pool stick giving him a black eye and a cut.
 Thankfully he came out of it all just fine and still cute!
Cammi just being herself. finding ways to make us laugh!
We Kept Madison home from School and went to see Moroni be put on the Calgary Temple!
It was cold and took a while but well worth it in my books! When we pulled up, without any prompting the kids started singing "I love to see the temple I am going there some day" I almost cried.
It was a great experience to see we all cheered when it was complete!



 Oh yes, Erin is enjoying a Delicious candy, one I passed on, a bacon candy. Gross!!


 So glad I didn't try it. Clark brought them back from St.Johns.
I have had a Cricut for a while now but not used it much. So i sat down and figured it out! Cant wait for something to use these projects for!
 I was visiting my favorite place, the dentists and Madison made Mr.Potato heads in the likeness of Steve and I. I will let you guess which is which.
 One of the strange places I have discovered toys. I think i am going to continue documenting where I find things. And make an album of it.
 Ok, we had Crepes, We have them quite a bit we all like them and I put out all the toppings to let the kids make their own. By kids I dont yet mean Cammi. She is still my Baby.  However for her last one I let her help herself. BIG mistake. this is what was in it. icing sugar, chocolate, icing sugar, chocolate and dipped in icing sugar. Needless to say, she was up till 11 with no hints of tired.
 Madison has been having a gymnastics block at school and has leaned to cartwheel and somersault. she was teaching landon and Cammeron to do it too!
 More Skating, this time for my birthday. I am now a mature 26! And feels a little strange because I am no longer in my early 20's. Growing older has never bothered me I am excited to see what life has to offer! So we hit up Bowness park again Myself, my kids, my mom, a friend Saraphene and Kaitlan joined us. Madison got going on her own with a chair. Landon didnt even try on his new skates, but i LOVE my new skates.



 It was kaitlans first time in a while so we lent her a chair!
 Pizza date night! I dont know if I have good or bad memories from this date. I think scarred for life about sums it up! JK we had a great time. we made pizzas but they were special. made with ingredients starting with the first letter of a last name, so like Bits and bites, beeforoni, brussle sprouts, blushing berries, blue cheese. you get the idea . Yumm all of that on a pizza.
Now a couple of them were gross like the B and the S but the rest were awesome!

 My Birthday dinner with my family. We went to Boston Pizza had a good time!



 I took Cammi, Landon and Landon Palmer, and yes it made people question my sanity to Tommy K play. We had a blast. And because I am lazy I wouldnt keep climbing up with them making both Landons figure out how to climb up by themselves.
