our Christmas

Wow. I dont even know where to begin. We had the most wonderful Christmas and i just feel like the luckiest wife and mommy in the world. I love my boys so much. I could not have asked for a more loving husband and more beautiful little boy. We woke up Christmas morning to beautiful white snow and i made some yummy biscuits and gravy. After we ate we opened our gifts to one another. Camden wore his cute jammies that he got from his great grandparents and had too much fun opening his gifts. He got some clothes from my mom,some fun stuffed animals and toys from my dad, a walker from his aunt gg and uncle jp, some fun little noisy toys from my brother and sister inlaws, a beautiful silver hand crafted ornament with his name and the year on it from his great great grandmother mathis, some counting toys from his mawmo and poppie, and alot of little toys from mommy and daddy.

Honestly i think that he had more fun with the wrapping paper than his actual presents. I love the innosence of a child. Chris got one big present from camden and I. We got him a full sized tournament ping pong table. He loves it. I got clothes, some chunky jewelry from my mom, some dior perfume from my dad ( yum!), an iphone, a zebra snuggie, a pumpkin spice candle from my fav little shop here in Dover, some kitchen stuff i have been wanting, and the mothers love ring from james avery that i have been wanting since i had my little boy. My boys went all out this year on me and i feel so blessed to have them in my life. We had a beautiful day. Later that afternoon we went and picked chris' parents up from the airport in philly and had a lovely evening. I made a mexican feast and it was so yummy! i definitely overate but it was so good.

On saturday we went to NYC! it was so fabulous and we had the best time. We went everywhere it seemed! I cant wait to go back and shop some more! Central park was beautiful. We walked all over and were so exhausted when we finally got back to our hotel room. Camden was wonderful and loved looking at all of the tall buildings and lights. We went went to FAO shwarts with camden and he couldnt believe everything that he was looking at. His eyes were so big it was so fun. That is such a cool toy store.

I hope your Christmas was a blessed one!

Much love and God bless

All I want for Christmas is you!

So Thanksgiving was a total success and we had a wonderful thanksgiving meal with amazing friends. Me and my girlsfriends cooked all day for the guys and it was so fun. Not much has really changed lately. School is going so well. I absolutely love my classes. Im totally staying on top of it all. I was worried that being out of school for over a year would take its toll on me once i started again but ive been just fine. Its really a blessing. Camden is just so huge. I cant believe me little baby is 6 months old already. It just seems surreal. It feels like only yesterday that I was so hugely pregnant and could barely walk lol. Oh the memories. So my 6 month old wears 12-18 month clothing??? How does that happen? Oh ya i have a giant baby hahaha. Hes so precious though....such a big boy hes becoming. We have started to crawl backwards and it wont be long until we are completely mobile! Kinda makes me want to cry. Hes just growing up too fast for mommy. Anyways, Chris is about to finish his classes for QTP and will return to his regular work. I have really enjoyed him being in QTP because he is home more. He has done so well im just so proud of him. What with all of this heart stuff going on lately he has not let it interfere with his QTP classes. Chris is going to be starting college agian in Janurary. Im jealous, hes going to finish a lot quicker than I am lol. Thats okay though. He has more college under his belt than I do. Anyways, our Christmas decor is all up and im completely loving it. Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday. I love this cold weather. I love all of the traditions that we have started for our little family.

Driving around looking at xmas lights. ( normally in ransom canyon but we will have to find a new desitination for the next 4 years.) Chris has taken me to ransom canyon every christmas since i was 15 when we first started dating.

Decorating the Christmas tree as a family while listening to our favorite Christmas songs.

Collecting ornamints with the year on them for every year that we have been dating/engaged/ married

drinking hot apple cider or hot coco all the time.

getting our pictures made as a family and then making christmas cards to send out to family.

Going to a live nativity story.

Christmas Eve church services

and so much more.....

I am so excited to get to do Santa for my baby now! Its just going to be so fun for Chris and me. I know that Camden will probably be more interested in the trash than anything else but thats ok haha.

Well I am very excited about my trip to lubbock coming up. Im glad that my family will get to see Camden before Christmas. Chris' parents are coming the 24th to spend Christmas with us. We are so excited!

Much love and God bless,
