Baby Hats

My mom got Camry a loom for her birthday. She loves it! She is so good at doing anything with her hands. She made these darling hats for Brielle and Dylan. Aunt Laura took them to the hospital and had the babies model them. So cute!!

Christmas Orchestra Concert

One of the electives Camry chose for this year is Orchestra. She has never played a string instrument before. She chose to play the Violin. I am amazed at what she has been able to accomplish in just 2 1/2 short months!

Camry and Aubrey are the new violinists of the Orchestra and Josh and Nicole are the new Cellists. They got a round of applause from the audience.

The Choir performed at the concert as well. Camry is the teeny tiny one on the very right. They were awesome!

This was my favorite song. "Blue Christmas". They were all crying. So entertaining!

This is Cams and her sweet friend Bekah. Bekah is also in the Orchestra and happens to live across the street. I'm so thankful that Camry has such great friends!

Teenager!!!

I can't believe I have a TEENAGER!!

The big 1-3!

Her hearts desire was a new camera. She takes some great photos and needed an upgrade! She LOVES it!

Camry is my ice cream lover so I made her an ice cream cake. It was a hit! I think that will be her request every year!

Marilyn's Pay it Forward

I commented on Marilyn's Pay it Forward blog post a while back...I had forgotten all about it so...I was SO excited when she showed up at my door in a major snow storm to deliver these! I can't imagine how much time she must have put into them! They're so cute!

Thank you Marilyn!

Black Friday 2009

Our "Black Friday Posse" seems to get smaller every year. This year Tanya and I went it alone. We had our plan all mapped out. We'd hit Toys R Us in Murray first, then head across the street to the mall, after that we'd go back to AF to Walmart. Good plan? We sure thought so.

10:30 pm-Toys R Us parking lot
11:00 pm-Door open...almost get trampled between solid mass of maniac crazy people and a police car trying to "keep the peace"
1:00 am-leaving Toys R Us with some of the things we wanted
1:45 am-decide to head straight to Walmart for fear we would have the same "mob like" issues as Toys R Us
2:00 am-11th in line for a much needed item.
5:00 am-Yay! Got our item...thanks to Tanya for her amazing crowd control skills! She's a GREAT shopping partner!
6:30 am-Finally out of Walmart. Ihop here we come!!
8:00 am-Mall...not really in the mood for crowds at this point.
10:30 am-Home

Talk about an EXCITING 12 hrs! All of you who missed out may not have been on the news (that's right I made a guest appearance while at Toys R Us), or risked your life...but you also missed out on some good times and some AMAZING deals!!

Same Time...Same Place....Next Year!
