Holidays

While Grandma Beth was here, we went to the Springs Preserve Christmas event. Of course it was the first cold day of winter. Cameron was excited because we were going to see Santa...plus he loves Springs Preserve. We kept prepping him for when Santa would ask what he wanted for Christmas. All Cameron could say was "toys"...the kid that doesn't want to play with his toys anymore because he is addicted to all things computer/Wii/Iphone.

We kept saying "what kind of toys". He had no clue. So Grandma Beth started trying to suggest things. Of course the first idea stuck...mittens! Seriously?! We live in Las Vegas. What is this kid going to do with mittens. But it was all over...that's what he now wanted. Haha. Every time you asked him what he wanted for Christmas his answer was mittens. However, when he sat on Santa's lap he reverted back to "toys".

They were also doing face painting...so Cameron got his done for the first time. He got a snowman. David said he started crying when they first started painting...our little weenie boy! Haha.

They also had "reineer" rides...horses with antlers. Couldn't get him on a horse, which I anticipated. All I could get him to do was pet it. With him that being adventurous.

They had the whole place lit up for Christmas. And a little train ride that went through some of the lights.

We also decorated the Christmas tree...and Cameron got to do a little one for his room. And there was lots of silly hat wearing!

We had a visitor this holiday season! Santa sent a special friend from the North Pole. If you have ever seen Elf on a Shelf you will get it! Cameron named him Sonny. He was watching over everything and at night he would fly back to the North Pole and report on Cameron's behavior for the day. Then when he came back the next morning he would find a new spot to hang out for the day (on the entertainment center, in a stocking, even on the Christmas tree). Sonny stayed around until Christmas Eve and then he left with Santa. We will see him again next year!

This year Cameron decorated a gingerbread house.

He also made and decorated special cookies for Santa!!



All the holiday excitement is exhausting!



If you know us it's all about the reindeer!

Then just some random shots.

He got to check out the new park!

Attempting to eat with chop sticks. Haha!

And trying on his own.
