Santa Baby


Cameron had a very good week at school. She started it off my playing Santa Claus for all of her teachers. She gave each of the teachers a hand-made scarf (compliments of mom) and smelly bubble bath, lotion, and show gel. Since they take such good care of Cameron, she wanted to make sure they were also taking good care of themselves.


There were lots of packages that arrived this week from all of Cameron's aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends. There was a really big box from her cousin Caitlin. We didn't allow her to open the wrapped gift, but we let Cameron play with the box it came in for awhile. This turned out to be loads of fun. She was making such a racket that PJ had to come and investigate to make sure he wasn't missing anything.


Besides receiving her first UPS package, Cameron had a few other firsts. The most exciting for Mommy and Daddy was her first tooth. She started cutting it early in the week and by the end of the week she had a nice sharp (poor mommy!) front bottom tooth poking out. The most exciting for Cameron was her first time in the big girl swing at the park in the neighborhood. After a hike on the trail near the Guadalupe river we stopped at the park to try out the swing. Cameron loved it.


The hike was a great way to start off our holiday. Its been awhile since Mommy, Daddy, Cameron, and PJ took a hike together. PJ was very excited to be out of the house. Since it gets dark early and Mommy and Daddy have been so busy with work, he hasn't been getting his normal amount of family time. We were very glad to have such a great family day.


Even though it was sunny, it was very cold outside. Its been cold all week. We bundled Cameron up in a pink bear suit. Daddy said she reminded him of the poor kid on "A Christmas Story." I agreed, but Cameron didn't seem to mind that much.


Finally at the end of the day, PJ and Cameron hung out by the Christmas tree, anxiously waiting until it was time to open the presents.
