December Fun 2009

When we went to Disneyland a couple of months earlier we bought a set of Christmas ornaments.  Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto.  Kenner hung his Goofy on the tree...

...and Kameron hung his Pluto on the tree.  Of course, Brian has Mickey and I have Minnie.

First family picture in front of the Christmas Tree this year.

Still trying to figure out the camera, hence the blurry picture.

Kameron is always so random.  He absolutely LOVES his Winnie the Pooh blanket.  If he's holding it, he's sucking on his tongue without doubt.  Or, he'll randomly pick a spot and lay on the floor.

Out of the blue Kenner asked if he could wash the last pan in the sink.  Without hesitation I told him to get his stool and have fun.  Enjoy it while it lasts, right?

We tend our neighbors daughter on Thursdays for about an hour and a half.  Kenner and Kaylee are unpredictable when they play.  They either scream and fight, or absolutely love each other company.  This Thursday was a loving day.  They decided to take EVERYTHING out of the toy box and put themselves in it.  To be a kid again.

Kenner was so proud of his design with his trucks.  That's my boy!

Macy's was donating $1 for every letter to Santa to the Make A Wish Foundation.  The boys wrote their letters as to what they want, i.e. Kenner's list hasn't changed order or anything since the first time he told me months ago, and then we delivered them to Santa's mailbox. 

Kenner loves The Polar Express.  Absolutely loves it.  We wanted to take our family to Temple Square to see the lights, but dreaded the traffic until Brian had a spectacular idea.  We took trax, I mean The Polar Express, to Temple Square.  It was frigid cold outside, but completely worth it to see the boy's reaction.  He had dinner at the Nauvoo House Cafe and headed back on the train.  On our way to Temple Square it became very crowded with passengers.  Luckily, since we had the strollers we got seats.  So many people would try to talk to Kameron since he was facing that direction and they were only standing right above him (poor kid), but he showed no emotion.  On the way back from Temple Square is another story.  There was a man standing behind, whom I'm sure was very nice, but had numerous earrings on his face.  I don't know why, but Kameron thought he was great.  He kept reaching under the guard to touch his arm and would then smile at him.  I think it definitely made this guys day a good one.

Every year Santa comes around on the firetruck and throws out bags of candy. We are always last on the list since we live right by it. All morning we can hear the sirens in other neighborhoods as we patiently wait our turn. Unfortunately Kameron was napping.
