Merry Christmas

A month of planning and parties and spending lots of money all leads up to one day of joy and happiness on Christmas Morning. We had so much fun this month. On the 23rd we had the Vincent Christmas party. We got together for food, stories and a gift exchange. It was fun to see everyone on Corys side. We had a good time.
Then on the 24th we went to Connies for Christmas Eve dinner. She made a turkey, ham, rolls, potatoes and all the fixings. It was really good. We then did gifts with her and the rest of the kids and had fun watching Cohen and Cayman fight over each others presents.

Cayman really likes to open gifts and she tried to open everyones. It was fun. From Connie we got an emergency first aid kit, picnic essentials, umbrella and a picture of Grandma and Grandpa Vincent.
Cayman got a grocery cart, doctors kit, 2 books and a coloring book.
Us kids switched names and I got a pair of Pjs and Cory got A Utah Flag and shirt. Cayman got a really cute dress from Cj and Jackie and Pjs from Dallas, Candice, and Cohen. It was a really fun night. Thanks everyone!
Then began our Christmas Eve at our home. We had Cayman get Santa some rice krispie treats and milk and put them on the plate.
Then we had our tradition of opening a present which is always a Christmas or childrens book and we read it together. Then we put Cayman to bed and we let Santa get to work. It was so much fun. I am like a little kid all over again. The next morning we waited and waited for Cayman to get up.... of all days to sleep in she chooses Christmas morning? I was so excited for her to see what Santa brought. She finally woke up and went downstairs and she was clinging to me for dear life, and I said look at all that Santa brought you. She wouldn't get down and then Cory said look, Santa ate his cookies. Cayman could not get over how Santa ate all the nummies all gone. She told everyone that Santa ate nummies all gone! It was so cute. She finally warmed up a little bit and decided to look at her gifts. She was so funny she put her hand on her heart and says " For Me?" I said yes, for you! Look what Santa brought! She did get spoiled and we had a really great morning. She got a baby alive dolly that wets her diaper and we probably had to change it 50 times that day. She got Elefun, which is a game that butterflies come out an elephants nose and you catch them with a net , shoes, clothes, doll diapers, doll clothes, memory, candy, books, a stuffed puppy, and lots of fun toys!




Cory and I opened our gifts and I got clothes, 2 books of piano music, a printer, and Wicked Tickets! Yipee!! I can't wait to see it!
Cory got clothes, Columbia Fleece Jacket, Seinfield DVD game and candy. He got me better christmas this year than I got him. Oh well! Later that morning Connie came over and we had breakfast and watched Mamma Mia. We had a really good Christmas day and it was so much fun to watch Cayman. She makes everything better!
I love my family and am so thankful to be able to have another baby on the way! We had been trying for 15 months so this seemed like a great Christmas present for us. A miracle in every way to be blessed with the chance to raise another child. We are so happy and I will be due in August. Cayman will be such a great big sister and such a good little helper. We are truly blessed.
