Another Snow Day - Dec 19th

They canceled school again today because of snow, it just kept snowing and snowing most of the day. Cameron was excited to go outside and play in the snow again, he wanted to make snow angels, a snowman and have a snowball fight. So after I put Sofia down for her nap, we headed outside.


















I taught him how to roll snowballs into the body parts and head of the snowman, we had just enough snow to make this cute little snowman.






















Then we had a snowball fight. I was trying to teach him how to make a good snowball, it was tricky with his big mittens.

Here he his making his snow angel, after that he had snow all down his back and I was freezing cold myself so we went back inside and had hot chocolate to warm up.

Snow Day - December 18

We got snow today and since it was on the verge of freezing they cancelled school. It actually got up to 38 degrees, but the weathermen were anticipating it to be much colder.
It made it for a fun time playing in the snow. I shoveled the driveway to have enough snow to make a snowman - we named him 'Jabba the snowman', since the snow was powder and would not form very well.

I like how Cameron posed Jabba's arms

Seeing Santa

Last Friday we went to Clackamas Town Center to visit Santa Claus. We really thought it might be the screaming in fright year for Sofia, but she did great. On the video clip below you will see she held Cameron's hand and just walked right up to Santa, with no worries. It was good for Cameron to be the brave BIG brother, because I think he was a little nervous himself (notice the clenched fists). Cameron asked Santa for a Nintendo Wii and a Star Wars spaceship with a guy.



After seeing Santa we went to Build a Bear and Cameron chose a reindeer "Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer" is what he named him, his antlers even light up, which Cameron was very excited about.













Here he is pushing the pedal to fill him with stuffing, while holding the red heart all ready to make a wish, kiss it and put it in.

















Cleaning Rudolph with air and brushing him all off.














All done - "I love Rudolph" he said.
It was a fun night but a late one, Cameron of course zonked out in the car and then there is little miss Sofia who stayed awake looking out the window the whole way home.

Matching Outfits

I Love matching outfits and am thrilled that Knuckleheads and Hula Mula have coordinating items for Cameron and Sofia to wear - Too Cute!

I'll take better and more pictures of them in their outfits soon.

Shopping bags

We went grocery shopping to Trader Joes on Saturday and when we returned Sofia wanted to carry all of the bags and go shopping again. I hope she continues to like shopping this much as she gets older, because I can shop til I drop!

Sofia loves Nerds candy

Here she is with her bowl of treats, or "teets" as she says.

She even wants to share one.
