Christmas Adventures


Christmas this year was fun and eventful. Cameron and I traveled to Az to spend the holiday with the Young's this year, and really enjoyed a break from the snowy weather! But before we left we were able to celebrate an early Christmas with the Willden's. Marcel & Mary rented a cabin near Heber where we spent a couple of days.


What a fun family we are!!



We were able to visit the Mesa temple lights. So beautiful!




One of the activities that my mom has been wanting to do for years is have a gingerbread house making contest. Little did we know that the competition was fierce! We all paired up and created some pretty amazing masterpieces:)






Decorating the Christmas tree!



Cameron, Samantha, and I took a little trip to the Phoenix Zoo. It was great weather so a lot of the animals were out and about. Cam was having a good time filming the whole thing:)




Christmas eve at Grandma Young's house


Everybody gets new pajamas! Woo hoo!
Cameron got Batman pj's (I think that he was hoping for a cape to go with it). I got some Smurfette pj's. My mom thought of me as soon as she saw them since I was Smurfette for Halloween this year;)



We all took a little day trip to Tombstone (this was per Cam's request). We enjoyed seeing all of the historical sites where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday once stood. The crazy thing was that it snowed while we were there. Snow in southern Arizona? It can happen!


Mom decided that it would be a good idea to take some family photos while everyone was together this year. We all got dressed up and went to Freestone park to take some cute pics!





Well, this Christmas really was quite the adventure! Cam and I had so much fun visiting with all of our families and feel blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! We love you all!

Hey everyone! Even though most of you have already heard our exciting news I think an official announcement is appropriate, so here it is:

WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
Yes, its true! I could hardly believe it myself:) I am about 12 weeks along and the due date is July 18. Cameron and I found out mid November, but decided to wait until Christmas time to tell our families. That was really hard to do since I was sick for a few weeks (I think some people were suspicious). I'm on some nausea meds now, so I am feeling much better these days. I had my first doctor appointment on Dec 30 and we were able to hear the baby's heart beat. It was so cool! The doc says that everything is looking good:) I'll try to keep everyone updated with baby news. Cam and I are so excited to start our family!
