Christmas!!

This Christmas was a little different in regards to taking pictures because I had a sweet baby boy to hold :-) I didn't really take any Christmas morning because I was nursing Camden and everything happened so fast! Fortunately, my brother took some that afternoon/evening while we celebrated at my parents house...but still not as many as I usually take :-) And since he was the one taking pictures there aren't any of him.....but for once I am in a few - ha!

The one posed photo of the night....our first Christmas as a family of four....the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for!

Love this picture of my dad! He was so happy to have us all there :-)

My beautiful mother holding her newest grandchild :-)

Opening presents while holding my little "Potato" as Matt and Amy so endearingly nicknamed Camden. I think I may update that name to my "Sweet Potato" :-)

So in love...

Since Brett loves to build so much,  he got lots of things to put together. This ended up backfiring because practically everything he got needed parental assistance! Usually during his birthday and Christmas (and for some time afterwards), he has so many new toys to entertain himself with, we kinda get a break - but not this time! So note for next year....make sure that he receives enough gifts that he can play with himself!

Here he is checking out the instructions as he waits for Uncle Matt to help him :-)

My mom gave me this beautiful book called "Dear Mom" with photos of different mothers and their children throughout the world. Love it!

I love this picture of Kyle so I had to put it in :-)

Matt's cat, Sebastian (who has now become my parent's cat) joined in the fun too. 

Matt and Amy gave us some adorable clothes for Camden, this hat being one of my favorites! Adorable!!

After opening presents and having some appetizers and drinks, it was time for a yummy turkey dinner per request from the birthday boy (aka, my brother). Yum! Later in the night we all went outside to celebrate with sparklers (a new tradition that we started last year)! I had such a great time with my family and am thankful for them more than anything!
