Merry Christmas to me!

Side view of our new Lake "House" at Camp Clearwater on White Lake

Side view from left
Extra room - we're putting two bunk beds in here.

Queen size bed. Peyton LOVED her new bed! HA!

View from kitchen to bedroom.

Kitchen with table that turns into bed. Notice the stainless steel fridge.

View when you walk in front door. Pulls out to a bed.

Dead on front view - we plan to paint it something fun.

Many of you know that I've been talking about wanting a getaway for our family to start making memories. I've talked about this for years. Well, we finally did it. Rob and I bought a camper in a campground attached to White Lake. We are so excited. Can't wait for March to come when the "season" starts. We also plan to get a golf cart and wave runner to with our purchase! The girls are going to have SO MUCH FUN in our new playhouse! You all are invited to come play with us. Make your reservations now.

Meow - kitty cat

Our little kitty cat. She looks so excited to be all dressed up.
Our long child - that's a normal size ottoman.

Bristol's hand

Bristol realized today that the things she constantly puts into her mouth is actually attached to her body. She is completely amazed at this new found friend. She holds her hand out and moves it around and watches it in amazement. So funny!

Peyton is growing every day. Her vocabulary is doubling every minute it seems. A few conversations:

"Mom - I drive your car?"
No, Peyton, you're too young.
"No Mom, I'm not too young. I drive in my car seat."
I don't think so.
"Papa - I drive your car?"

I ove you = I love you. (We really don't say our Ls)
Hold on a moment
Hey Buddies!
I'm awake = I don't want to go to sleep
I'm happy! = I don't want a time out

That's just a few Peytonisms.

Santa's (aka Papa) visit

Bristol took to Papa...I mean Santa...just fine. In fact, she couldn't wait to get on his lap. A friend of mine was holding her on the side and every time Santa would talk she'd immediately turn her head toward him. It was cute. She was at ease with her Santa.
Peyton on the other hand took some time to warm up. She would only stand next to him until I moved Bristol. Then she got up in his lap, but wanted to cuddle.

In case you didn't know she is Santa's favorite and Santa is all hers!!!

Best shot I could get of the girls with Santa. I guess I could always have him dress up one day and do a TON of shots in order to get a good one. Peyton was bribed with a candy cane and Bristol was checkin' it out.

Just another example of Bristol chillin'! As long as she has her fingers in her mouth she's good to go. Don't you love the fur collar? Our friend KrisTina gave her this cute outfit.
