Cameron's 25th Birthday was on Dec 20th. We went out for dinner with my family & then did cake and presents back at our house. He got a new fishing pole from his parents when they were up for Thanksgiving, Karys and I gave him a new Dodge pick-up (the remote control kind), and my parents gave him a new tool of some kind (I don't remember what it's called) as well as a new board game which we then played until about 1:00am.
The Birthday Boy!
We did Christmas at our own home for the first time since we've been married. It was a lot of fun doing Santa things & reading the Christmas story with Karys.

Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve:
Making cookies for Santa Claus
In my family we always open 1 present on Christmas Eve, usually one of our Grammy & Papa presents (my mother's parents). We decided to continue this tradition, and so here are the Christmas Eve Grammy & Papa presents.
Karys' dress made by Great-Grandma Shammel
Cameron's shirt
Kassandra's scarf and hat

Her first puzzle & a cute skirt from Grandma Leslie & Grandpa Blaine. The popper toy is from us.
This was Cameron's present from Karys and me. I think he was more excited to be able to watch Netflix on the Wii than for the games.
Cameron & Karys gave me a small lamp for my piano and a book light which I didn't happen to take a picture of.
After breakfast we headed up to my parents' house where we exchanged presents & had a big Christmas dinner in the afternoon with all of the Mitchell family who live in the area. We stayed overnight and went to church up there & spent some more time with the family.
This is actually a picture from setting up the tree at my parents' home earlier in December. Karys was very excited about all of it, but as you can see Cameron wasn't as excited :)
Before opening her presents Karys always had to check out the wrapping first. She loved that this one matched her pajamas. She calls them all "mans" (meaning snowman of course).
Checking out one of her presents with a bow on her head. She got the letters from Aunt Lisa & Aunt Amy, and she also got a cool stacker toy from Grandma & Grandpa.
Her pretty Christmas dress from Grandma Leslie. She loved wearing it and playing with the sequins. (she's wearing a shirt underneath because her arms were cold at church)
Playing with Great-Grandpa Mitchell
Cameron's parents also gave us a memory foam topper for our bed, and my parents gave us a stainless steel microwave. My sisters also gave us a shoe shelf.

What fun pictures, Karys looks like she had a blast! Cameron, have you played Super Mario Brothers Wii yet? I Love that game and so does Jayden. It brings back memories of old times with Super Mario Bros. on the original NES.
