Cameron is 3!

Hugs for Brookie!Waiting and waiting for friends to arrive.Our first guests! Papa and Nana! The excitement begins... Cameron was so excited for all the new presents.Fancy musical cards and stickers, clothes and toys galore. Chocolate Princess cake with chocolate ice cream

Yum.

Get a closer look kids. Cousins Ethan, Hayden, Max and Maddie awaited the arrival of CAKE.

Delicious fun.

There is no such thing as too much chocolate.

Of course Brooke put her messy hands in her hair and when I tried to clean it up a new hairdo presented itself.

You are so tough.

Valentine's Day surprise. Cameron loves Fancy Nancy.

Spaghetti face.

And spaghetti hair

Snow fun

First snowman of 2010

Poor Brooke

Mom and Brooke sledding We made it!

February has been fun. Tim got a job! Yea! Cameron is in swimming lessons which she absolutely loves. She even jumped off the diving board. She swims by herself with a noodle tied around her. We try to tire them out each day and that takes a lot of planning. Thankfully the weather has been great so Cameron is outside a lot. She loves the snow and never wants to come in. I have to bribe her with hot cocoa. Brooke is not as big of a fan of the snow. She'll walk around and look at it, but she won't walk in it or play with it. Maybe next year Brooke!

Hugs to all of you!

Christmastime 2009

Brooke and her twin.

Cameron "helps" Brooke to walk. Usually ends up with Brooke on her belly crying.

This is Ethan and Cameron at Papa and Nana's house. They were solving a mystery....an excuse to run up and down the stairs.

Papa and some of his girls.

The red twins.

Opening presents

This was Brooke's first Christmas opening gifts. Last year she didn't do too much. :)

The goatee is back....

Christmas Eve at home. We went to church, ate a Polish dinner, and opened presents. Cameron couldn't believe she was getting all these gifts.

All these new gifts and Brooke wants to eat the old play dough can.

New Strawberry Shortcake doll.

Cameron brought her new dolls to the couch to watch cartoons with her.

Christmas morning. Cameron helps Brooke empty her stocking.

Always wants mommy, no matter how many presents there are.

Big gift from Santa. He brought her a baby center.

WOW! Thanks Santa!

Dad put it together. It's so neat!

We went to Paul and Jen's for more Christmas Day fun. It's 9am and Jen's got wine! Just kidding.

Such a pretty picture.

Cute girls.

Brooke held up pretty well with all the sleeping in different places and crazy Christmas fun.

Ethan and Cameron went outside in the wet wet snow. They lasted 15 minutes. They were sopping wet and decided they needed hot chocolate.

The next day we headed to Eau Claire for more holiday fun. Max, Maddie, Aunt Terry, Uncle Scott, and Great Grandma Helen are all partaking in some yummy snacks.

Posing for photos.

Opening more gifts! Such generous families we have!

Aunt Diann is making Brooke laugh and laugh.

Sunday we celebrated Max's 4th birthday. Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Tom, Diann and Tim doing some catching up.

A tired Brooke getting some snuggles from Grandma.Cameron put their chairs together and they read books. So cute, they didn't even feet-fight.

Princess Cameron. Although I am a little concerned about the China-made cadmium issue.... hmm.

Princess Cameron.

Finally! It's not minus 20. We went outside and played for days and days! Tim constructed a sweet sledding hill for the kiddies.

Brooke actually walked in her boots and did great outside. I thought she'd cry and want to be held, but she walked around and tried to eat the snow.

Cameron likes to walk on the snow and look for the snow monster.

Happy Winter!

Happy Birthday Brookie!

Happy birthday baby!This is my other fashionista. And my excellent reader.Happy Birthday Rock Star!The always fun cake face. Brooke loved her cake and ate it all. She was a good girl all day.She wasn't too interested in her presents yet. She was more interested in all the people.Hayden and Nana helper her play with some new toys. Yes, this is Hayden, Cameron's twin. Cameron thinks this is a photo of her not Hayden.

The always stunning Uncle Paul.

We went downtown after Brooke's party. We went to dinner at the Oak Grill on the top floor of Macy's. We did have to wait 3 hours, but the kids were awesome and played together. We went with Max and Maddie so the kids had a blast together. Then we went to see the 8th floor display Macy's set up. Kids loved it and they were happy until the end. It was a great day. Happy Birthday Baby!

Everyone Loves Santa

Classic.
