A Minnesota Christmas

Tegan thankfully arrived just in time for us to make our trip to the States. Her Birth Certificate hadn't arrived, but since we decided to drive rather than fly, crossing the border with her was a non-issue with some hospital paperwork.

The drive went surprisingly well. We left around 9:00pm, so we could drive through the night, and hopefully the kids would sleep. Tegan was pretty scheduled, and woke every three hours or so for a feed. Cameron slept fairly well, and the iPad kept him entertained during his waking hours! They both did really awesome, and we arrived at my parents house at 7:00pm the next evening.

We arrived only a couple of days before Thomas and Katie's wedding...so our first full day was spent up at the outlet mall finding me a dress to wear! So happy to be *close* to regular size again, meant coming home with about 10 outfits to choose from! Merry Christmas to me! :D

Thomas and Katie's wedding went great. It was a long day for Cameron, but by the end of the night, he still had plenty of energy to dance the night away! He was so funny, and I am sad none of his crazy moves are video documented! :(

The next week was spent doing some hard-core Christmas shopping. Christmas morning was exciting. The older Cameron gets, the more aware he becomes, and we're really enjoying it!

He has REALLY started to love "Toy Story", so he was "Toy Story" spoiled on Christmas Day! With Buzz, Woody, Rex, a little Lotso bear, and anything and everything else related!

Santa's big gift to Cameron was the Rockin' Elmo, which he is also pretty attached to! Needless to say, he was a mighty lucky kid!

Both Grandparents got him Thomas the Train sets that build together, and some trains. He has had lots of fun setting it up and playing with Daddy when we arrived home.

Clark and I also had a "successful" year! Clark broke his age-old skates a while back, so he got treated to a brand new pair. We also went to a "Wild" hockey game, "Vikings" football game, and a "Timberwolves" basketball game. Along with mountains of new clothes, I also got a camcorder, and can finally capture our little munchkins greatest moments.

Tegan was barely 3 weeks old for her first Christmas, so everyone was low key with her. She got some adorable clothes, and a few cute little baby toys.
