Little Friends December 30, 2008

I’ve blogged about Olivia Kiska before, she is the daughter of my friend and co-worker Paul Kiska and his wife.  We’ve been getting Olivia, Liv, as Camille likes to call her since before the two of them could even crawl.  So as you might imagine, they are very close.  They play as well together as two [...]

Christmas Eve December 27, 2008

For me, there has always been something magical about Christmas Eve. From the time I was very little, it has been my favorite day of the year.  There is a feeling of anticipation in the air.  Even as an adult, I can still feel it.  Camille isn’t old enough to understand Christmas, but she definitely knows there is [...]

Pretty Presents December 22, 2008

We won’t see my husband’s family this holiday, so his sister and mom sent Camille her Christmas gifts. When they arrived, we let her open them.  Last year, she really didn’t understand about opening gifts, this year is a different story

It didn’t take her long to rip open the presents.  One after another, with [...]

Holiday Fun! December 21, 2008

I know Camille is too young to truly understand and enjoy the holiday season, but we think it is important to take her places and start family traditions now.   This year, one place we took her was to Lake farmpark country lights.  She was too little to  make a toy, and well, you know [...]

Ho,Ho,Ho December 17, 2008

Last Christmas, Camille loved Santa.  She sat in his lap, smiled and got her picture taken This year, it is a different story.  We saw jolly old St. Nick  three  times over the past couple of days, and Camille was far from jolly.  This year she is afraid of Santa Claus.  She will [...]

Christmas Cards.. December 15, 2008

I had a hard time picking a Christmas card picture this year.  Not because of lack of choices, but because of too many I showed you one of the pictures in a previous post, but in the end I didn’t pick that one.  I ended up sending out two different cards because I couldn’t make [...]

Our Little Helper December 10, 2008

Camille has become quite the little helper around the house She wants to do whatever we do.  I decided to bake brownies and she decided she would help.  You can see by this picture that she did better at licking the spoon, than stirring with it But that’s okay, she had [...]

The Wonder Of The Season December 8, 2008

Last December, we were in a store when Camille noticed a musical gingerbread house.  She just stared at it and laughed When I say that we did not have one childlike Christmas decoration, I mean it, not one.  So, I bought this gingerbread house, a giant snowman, and some other decorations that I thought she would [...]

Deck The Halls December 7, 2008

We are in full holiday mode at our house.  We got the decorations out and started to deck the halls! It’s funny, I don’t remember the holidays being this much work when I was a kid We put some Christmas music on and started to pull out the decorations.  Camille tuckered out and [...]

Picture Perfect December 3, 2008

Last week, I told you about our less than perfect sitting for our annual pictures.  Tom, our photographer, assured me that he got a good one.
