Busy Holiday Season

We've been busy over the last few weeks. Start at the bottom of this post for the oldest!


12-25-08 Merry Christmas!

Gary, Janet, Mark, and Scott met at our house at 8:00 for breakfast and in anticipation of Cameron waking up early to open presents. Cameron finally rolled out of bed around 9:30 which gave the adults time to enjoy our time. When Cameron rounded the corner he wasn't sure why he was seeing everyone again so soon. Daddy showed him his new work bench and he did NOT want to let go even to open more presents!























12-24-08 Christmas Eve ~ We went to the Payne house for our annual Ornament Exchange. Thankfully Michael and I ended up with some semi-normal ornaments that may blend into the tree (at least be hidden well at the back.) Afterwards we headed home where Cameron was NOT ready to go to bed. Cameron danced in the living room for quite a while to a Christmas musical special on the tv and admired the tree. Then we read T'was the Night Before Christmas, put on pajama's and headed to bed.

After Cameron went to bed and sugar plums were dancing in his head, Santa got busy putting together Cameron's Black and Decker tool bench.




12-21-08 Michael's older brother, Matthew visited us from Atlanta over the weekend. Byt the time we took this picture it was later in the evening and Cameron wasn't interested in taking pictures. This one was the best one. You should have seen the others!

Scott was able to make it home early for the holiday also to everyone's surprise. Here are the Payne boys including Cameron.





12-14-08 After the Gullo Christmas Party we headed over the the Payne house to help make Christmas cookies to be mailed out to family.
Cameron helped grandpa out and had lots of fun with the rolling pin! Unfortunately he didn't end the evening too well. (He stepped in the dogs water bowl.


















12-14-08 Mr. Gullo, the owner of Gullo Toyota where Michael works, holds a Christmas party for all the employees and their kids. We went again this year. Cameron had his picture taken with Santa, we enjoyed lunch, and Cameron rode the pony.













12-14-08 Michael putting up the Christmas lights for the 1st time on our house. He got up on the house which he said I made him do. Cameron had stayed the night at Nana's so we were able to get them up within about an hour and a half. And another one of the house lit up with LED lights.











12-13 08 Cameron eating his strawberry jelly toast with a fork. He might be a lefty. We're not sure yet.

Soooo funny! I love that you definitely see his personality now. I like the horse picture too. My sister thinks that people with blue Christmas lights means they are jewish. I told her maybe but people just like blue.....dork.

Actually the blue lights are supposed to be LED lights. I am a bit disappointed that they are not bright white, but at least we are saving on the electricity!
