Just Cute

On Boxing Day, Dave took Pete, Bridgett, Corey, and Coral up to Wintergreen to go snowboarding so Camlin and I got to spend the day together. We had fun playing and napping together.

She is posing in this picture in her new Dora outfit from Auntie Stephanie with the not-so-matching Hello Kitty socks that she insisted on wearing for 2 days straight! You can't see, but her hair is tied back with a purple Hello Kitty ponytail holder. I couldn't resist capturing this designer moment!

The Reazin Christmas

This year it only took 2 days for Camlin to unwrap her presents. Partly because she had to either put on, play with, or put away each one as they were revealed. And now as I desperately seek bins, drawers, or shelves for them all, I am left wondering if I went overboard again!

With the Peers' here, we had a long, relaxing Christmas morning of present-opening, followed by playing outside in the 65 degree weather (while I was busy in the kitchen), and then the day culminated with a huge feast. It was wonderful having family here this year!

Camlin knew somehow that the largest pile of presents belonged to her!


There were plenty of presents to go around.


I am especially proud of the dinner table.


Here is the flaming Christmas pudding.


And this is Boxing Day morning as Camlin finishes opening her presents.

Favorite Uncle

Despite having only met him a few times before, Camlin was as excited as Dave and I were to see Uncle Peter. I'm not sure if it was the chocolates he brought or the readily available loose change he had, but Pete quickly became Camlin's best friend. He had to take Camlin to school, read her bedtime stories, and sit next to her at my birthday dinner. And as he flies home tonight, Camlin is counting down the days until he returns in a few weeks with his girls. Christmas will be fun this year!
