Stuff in December

December was busy, and packed with fun...just like this post is packed with pictures! I stopped counting after awhile, but I think there are close to a jillion pictures. Sorry.

We started by decorating the tree together


Then we built a fabulous fort, and ate breakfast for dinner inside it.
We went to Jungle Jim's Playland-yay!



And played with our cute friend, Lilah.

Riley finally learned to sit up, on his 9 month birthday! Go Riley! Now, at just over 10 months, we are still mastering sitting up, and he is a much better roller than he was previously.
Played with cousins while their sister and mom recovered from surgeries.
Practiced our cheesy grin a little more
Took funny pictures of Uncle Brett
Enjoyed a Christmas celebration with my family...
complete with a nativity.
And then, went home to bed, because...well....take a look at the picture.
Helped Dad build his pinewood derby car with a "Finding Nemo" theme.
Riley sported a hip new off-the-shoulder look, and rocked it, if I do say so myself.
Visited Santa Clause (true story: this is the first time EVER in my life that I sat on Santa's lap. Big day folks, momentous occasion.)
We went out to breakfast with my family for Christmas Eve, and even though I don't have any pictures, we also enjoyed a lovely dinner with them at our house that evening. After dinner we drove around looking at Christmas lights, then finished off with the Luke 2 movie, a Christmas story, and then games after the boys went to bed.

On Christmas morning, Cece received a new sweater!
Cam mastered the art of unwrapping

Riley mastered the art of being adorable
And I...was really tired. It was an awesome Christmas.
After presents, we geared up for church
Then headed to my parents for a few more gifts and good company.

Merry Christmas!
Later in the week, after the Tanners returned from Cali, we had Christmas with them. Here is the forced brother hug...

Opening presents with Grandma and Grandpa

Chillin' with Uncle J.
To finish our December, we took Cameron to see Arthur Christmas---very cute movie.

Last but not least, here are a couple of videos, in case you haven't had enough of us already. Riley is a total ham in front of the camera. Only seconds before the camera came on, he was whining and growling, and kind of being a grouch. Behold, the power of the camera.

The other video is Cameron. I love how he thinks that if he can't see us, we can't see him. Its magic!

Stockton does that too, so funny!!
Seriously, Camille, your boys are so photogenic. They have the best smiles!!

I've never had dinner for breakfast, what did you have? :)

Oh, occasionally for a special treat I make pancakes, eggs and a smoothie for dinner. Cam loves all those foods, so its a win!

Those videos are AWESOME. And my fave pic is the one of Riley sporting the new arm shirt look!
And I don't think you quite got the whole dinner for breakfast thing... it's funny because you wrote it backwards. :)
P.S. thanks so much for the appointment watching offers... I'll definitely let you know; it's very possible!
I love you and miss you and
Cam and Riley are such handsome dudes. And you are beautiful.

Aha! Now I get it. Okay, okay, I fixed it. Breakfast for dinner!

I liked that there were tons of pictures since I hardly see you guys, so it's fun to see your family changing. I personally loved the picture with Riley and one arm out of his shirt. Brooklyn gets herself into some really awkward positions like that too. Although she usually ends up with her legs trapped up inside her sleepers.
