Christmas has come and gone...on to the New Year!

It is amazing how a 2 year old can understand Christmas. Campbell was very excited to put out cookies and milk for Santa and reindeer food for Rudolph. I wonder how they got eaten, wink, wink! After a fun Christmas Eve gathering at our house with 3 other families, Campbell fell fast asleep and I am sure dreaming of all the goodies he was going to get the following morning.

Christmas morning, Jason and I woke up at 7:30 and literally had to wake Campbell up at 8:30. I am sure that will be the ONLY Christmas that we will have to do that. He loved opening his gifts and playing with all of his new toys!

Christmas afternoon we headed to Charlottesville to be with Jason's brother and his family. Their girls are 12, almost 10, and 7. They provided constant entertainment for Campbell and he LOVED following them around and doing whatever they told him to do!

On Saturday we went to Lynchburg to see the rest of Jason's family. Had a wonderful time seeing everyone and Campbell did quite a good job of showing off!

We returned last night and are now ready to ring in the New Year! 2009 is going to be a great year and we are thrilled to announce that Baby #2 will arrive in mid-July! Happy Happy New Year everyone!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

We had a rainy and cold day this week, so I decided to take Campbell to the mall to see Santa. He's been talking a lot about Santa and I wanted to see if he'd really sit on his lap for a picture. He did get a little shy but enjoyed sitting on his lap. He especially enjoyed the candy cane that Santa gave him after the picture was taken!

Merry Christmas!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is here. Last week ended up being a whirlwind with returning early Monday morning from NOLA then heading into activities for the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend (put on by the organization that I am on the board). Somehow, we found time between walking in a parade on Saturday morning (in the 30 degree weather), a baby shower, and birthday party on Sunday, to get a Christmas tree! We ventured out after Campbell's nap on Saturday in the light snow that was falling...certainly made it feel like a true Christmas season. Jason, Campbell, and I went thru the nursery and found the perfect tree! It's full, tall and smells fabulous. Campbell is enjoying singing "Oh Christmas Tree" - although he can only repeat that phrase and does it over and over again! I must teach him a new song!

Last night, I covered the tree in bows (something I've wanted to do every year but just never had the time). Campbell then decided to "cheese" it up for the camera!

Merry Christmas and more fun pictures to come!
