Christmas!

Christmas Eve we spent with Great Grandpa and Grandma Hansen and family. We had an amazing dinner and had lots of fun hanging out. We even had some time at home to sing songs and open up the Christmas jammies. I took about 15 pictures of them and not a one turned out, but they were so cute and excited. We left some cookies and reindeer food out for Santa.
In the morning Lucy and Boyd were squealing up stairs to get us for the presents! They got some good stuff!
Sleeping bags! They gotta try them out, of course!
A princess easel. Daisy was trying to say "Chalkboard" but ended up saying "it's my princess pork chop!" Ha haaa!
Daisy's obsessed with Rapunzel right now, she was so happy to get "punsel" stuff!
Boyd made some presents this year, he was so excited to wrap them and watch everyone open them. He made several books, written and illustrated all by himself. They were SO GOOD! He really spent a lot of time and worked really hard to make them nice and they were a hit! I don't know what is wrong with me, I didn't get them scanned like an idiot. Hopefully I will get them back some time to do so... (hint hint anyone who got one). Boyd made a hulk mask for Lucy, too, and she loved it- they played a game with it called "Grrr Grrr!"
We headed over to Papa and Gramma's house for dinner and presents! We had such a fun time! I was most excited to have everyone open the presents from us. I did a bunch of homemade gifts that all turned out cute!
Next, we went over to the Copiers for more festivities and dessert. My dad always gives stockings to the kids and he asked me to get the stuff and put them together for him this year. There were 21 grandkids there (that's not all of them). That was a big job for me, but I think everyone was happy.
I made these for my nieces. It says "if this isn't your castle then you aren't my prince." It was a free printable picture download and I glued it to some painted blocks with a bow.
Speaking of crafts, here's some more stuff I made:

These took the longest. Mostly because I made 3 of them, starting in October. It is book pages rolled into roses on a wreath, if you can't tell from the picture. I just loved the way they turned out!
Shark scarf!

I made these necklaces from tulle and beads. Also one in black.
Ken got me a new iphone in white with a cute purple case. It's so cute I love it!  We got a new camera for Christmas, too! I have been borrowing Jenna's extra one for the past month and now we've got a nice Nikon CoolPix I can't wait to try out! (It's charging at the moment).

We had a great Christmas! It was a bit crazy and had so much going on. I still need to get my house cleaned up and put back in order and spend some time playing our new toys.

  1. Cami... I wanted to tell you how completely blown away we were by the gifts you made. You were clearly the Queen of Christmas this year and made me want to step up my game. We completely love every single gift. You spent so much time and talent! Just amazing. Love you to pieces.
