Bilton wedding

Saturday after Chritamas we had the pleasure of watching Caty and Kyle commit their lives to each other.  The ceremony and reception were held in a brick warehouse, decorated with Pinterest ideas galore, white Christmas lights, and purple rose petals.  

Here's a pic of Raegan and her papa before the ceremony:

Here's a pic of my handsome fellas just before the wedding:

Caty and Kyle provided crayons and coloring packets for the kids, which kept my kids very enertained.  I got multiple compliments on how well behaved they were during the ceremony, but I have to give the credit to the bride and groom for the great coloring idea! 

The kids danced the night away, spinning around till they were so dizzy they fell down and then getting back up and spinning in circles again! 

There was also a hot chocolate bar and a s'mores bar! Mmmmm!

We strayed till after the cake was cut, because wedding cake is more important to us than sleep :) then headed home that same night!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bilton!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve service at church

Gigi, aunt Jenni and baby J came too! Cameron was in the nursery. 

Reindeer pajamas!

Snuggled up with uncle Andrew

Baby J was the first to bed.  We let Raegan and Cameron stay up and watch 'How to Train Your Dragon' with us and then Gigi read 'T'was the night before Christmas' to them and tucked them in bed.  Then the rest of us got started on reading complicated instructions and putting together three large Santa gifts: a green machine trike for Raegan, a trampoline for Cameron and a red wagon for Baby J.  Took this picture just before midnight when we were done.

Cameron at around 5:30AM, after already dumping out his stocking, finished off Santa's leftover cookies!

Raegan was really excited about her "American Girl" ballerina doll from Grammee and Papa and a pink ballerina tutu outfit from Gigi and Papa that she put on and wore most the morning!  

I didn't take any pics at breakfast, but Ron and Cindy came and prepared a wonderful Christmas Day meal and we are still enjoying the leftovers!!

We had a great time and were so blessed to have both sets of parents in town for Christmas this year! 

Kinder Christmas party

Last day of school for 2014! 

My sweet friend watched Cameron for me so that I could attend Raegan's school Christmas party.  

Raegan's class had an ornament gift exchange and this cute little Christmas tree is the ornament she got to take home!

Her and most of her classmates wearing the reindeer masks they made that morning.  Sweet kids!

1st busy Saturday of December

Visit with the "fake Santa" at Home Depot. Raegan knew he wasn't the real one, because he had to "adjust" his beard. 

Despite the fake Santa we enjoyed making crafts!

Then we picked up lunch and went and helped Daddy at his tent atChristmas on the Square. Raegan was such a good helper!

It wasn't all work...

My parents brought baby J over for dinner and a relaxing evening spent watching football.  

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Cameron's first haircut

After a weekend of hearing how cute SHE is, I decided it was finally time for this BOY to get a haircut.

My wild child!

At the kids salon, they gave him a dumdum sucker, let him pick which car he wanted to "drive" and put on his favorite show, Mickey Mouse clubhouse. This picture was before his haircut:

This is after:

Not too much shorter but trimmed up nicely.  My little baby is growing up!
