We always have several Christmas celebrations each year to get in a visit with each side of the family. This year we kicked off our Christmas celebrations in Sanford with the DesVergers side. We had a great time and Camille sure loved her play time with the cousins.
Our next celebration was in Wilson with the Cox side of the family. Camille and Emily found their fun through the new crimping iron.
We celebrated with Mom, John, and Aya on Christmas Eve, where one of Mom's gifts from us was a Mimi, Mommy, and Millie day trip to Old Salem. Always a favorite spot of ours, mainly for the bakery! Camille seemed most impressed by this big tree, oh and the hotdog she got for lunch.
Also on Christmas Eve we attending the Family Christmas Eve service at church. We took our sweet neighbors and the kids loved getting to participate in the service by being angels, shepherds, or wise men. Extra special this year was getting to see our friends Clint, Meagan, and their new baby Sam, play the holy family during the service.
On Christmas Day, we celebrated Jesus' birth as a family of three. We don't do Santa at our house, which has proven more challenging than expected, but we were so happy that Camille is learning the real meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate with presents. She got several Barbie related items, clothes, shoes, and food for her play kitchen, but she seemed most excited about the gummy worms in her stocking. Go figure. Pops and Marla surprised Camille with a new playhouse for our backyard. Daddy put it together later that day since the weather was so nice. Camille played in it for almost 2 hours!
Our final celebration was with the McNeill side. We enjoyed the time together and Camille always enjoys the extra attention :)
We are looking forward to 2013!
