play his violin in the performance. He is really talented and we had a really great time. Later that week, my friend Cassie and her girl Miya met my kids and I to see how chocolate was made at Mrs. Cavanaghs. Little did we know, that they don't make their own chocolate! Surprise! They only make their fillings. We couldn't believe it! The girls had fun and got a treat afterwards.
We have had a couple of firsts this last week also with Cooper! He rolled over for the first time, played in his new saucer, and ate rice cereal! I think he really liked the cereal. What a cutie!
Cayman also wanted to put him in one of her headbands when she was little and so we did. What do you think? Does he make a cute girl?
On Wednesday the 23rd we had the Vincents Christmas party. It is always a lot of fun and Santa gets to come! We also have a story time and then we have a gift exchange. We had a really fun time.
On the 24th every year we do Christmas eve with Cory's mom. We celebrate Jesus' Birthday and have dinner, cake and presents.
Cayman was so excited she tried to open all the presents and was just going crazy. We finally had to tell her to sit down and relax and then we tried to do presents again. From grandma Cayman got a really cute Snow white clean up set and Cory and I got some really nice new flatware! Cooper got a little toy and little fleece blanket. Candice had my name and she got me a gift card to Quilted bear and Cj got Cory golf passes and a Utah beanie. Cohen and Kenzley got Cooper an outfit and Cayman a barbie doll. What fun!Thanks to everyone for the gifts!
Now the fun really begins! We got home Christmas Eve, got our cookies baked for Santa and opened our Christmas eve gifts. Cayman and Cooper got each other new jammies and slippers and thats what they got to open. Cayman loved her ballet jammies and princess slippers and Cooper looked like a doll with his little beanie, jammies and slippers on! What a bunch of cuties!
After that we got Santa his tray of cookies and milk out and then we read a Christmas book. We do this every year!
Finally, we got the kids to bed so Santa could come. We snuck downstairs after Santa came and this is what we found:
The kids got a really good Christmas and Cayman only wanted a bike! Santa did really good! This video is of Cayman coming downstairs Christmas morning and she just can't understand how her bike got in here. That is what she says like 3 times. "How did that bike get in here?"
My sister Melanee had asked if her and her hubby and my brother Ryan could come and stay Christmas Eve with us and wake up with the kids. It was a fun change and we loved having them stay with us. Cayman loves them so much. It was really fun. We opened our Christmas gifts and Cayman got lots of fun things. Cooper was funny just watching and he loved chewing on the wrapping paper. His favorite gift was the Bumbo and ball he can hold onto.
Cayman loved her Camera and her bike. She also got a lot of clothes, books, Doll, makeup and lots of princess stuff.
Melanee and Phil got the kids gifts to open on Christmas morning also....Cooper got a really cute toy lion and Cayman got Princess gems to fish for. Here is dad and her playing!
Here is Cooper all ready for the day and his loot of presents!
Here is Cayman outside in the cold riding her new Bike!
We made Christmas breakfast and then just relaxed a bit. Later that evening we met everyone in Syracuse at my sister Allison's house and we had our Christmas dinner and opened gifts. I must say my kids were spoiled this year!
From Grandpa and Carma, Alli, Paul, Mel, Phil, and Ryan they got a Radio Flyer wagon with a canopy.
Then dad got Cooper some new clothes and Alli and Paul Got Cayman CandyLand. 
We had a really fun evening and ate some good food. Thanks you guys so much! We loved our gifts! 
Cooper is so dang cute in this picture! It looks like he is saying" just one more thing....
For my Dad and Carma this year we got them tickets the Jazz game on the 26th and we all went as a family. It was so much fun and on Saturday we just went to Gateway mall and shopped. We ate at Tucanos and then came home for a little bit before the game. It was a good weekend.
Sunday everything went back to normal and now back to the real world. I have to get Christmas taken down and that will not be fun. Cory goes into therapy on Wednesday for his shoulder and hopefully we hear good news. What a long 4 weeks this has been!
We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did too! Thanks families for everything! We love you!

Christmas looked like so much fun. We got Brayden a bike this year too and he was so excited. Cooper is so cute in that picture with your dad. I think they look so much alike. Tanner hasn't even had rice cereal yet because I have been to lazy to want to deal with the mess. Oh well I bought some so tomorrow will be his first time.
Just to clarify, I had Cory's name, not CJ.
I love updated blogs. Helps fills in the gaps on the days I don't see my cute family. Love ya.
