Making chocolate chip cookies...YUMMY!

Before Christmas, Cameron & Mommy made chocolate chip cookies to take on our trip to NC. Cameron is really becoming an adorable little helper in the kitchen. He ALWAYS wants to help Mommy cook! He loves stirring, pouring, and mixing...just about ANYTHING I'm making! He was helping me count the chocolate chips, stir up the batter, and of course sneaking a few bites to make sure everything was okay. As you can see in one of the bottom pictures, he grabbed a handful of chocolate chips and put them aside....saying "these mine...thank you mommy!" Hahaha! Too cute! ENJOY!

Snowball fight...in the kitchen!

Everyone knows that we had a HUGE snowstorm a few weeks ago. While it was actually snowing, it was WAY too cold and windy to take Cameron outside to play in the snow. We had to wait until the snow STOPPED before we could brave the mounds of snow. So, we decided to bring the snow INSIDE! Yes, you read that correctly...I said we decided to bring the snow INSIDE. Ryan, Cameron, and myself had our very own snowball fight in the kitchen/dining room. We had soooo much fun! It wasn't that much of a clean-up b/c I really needed to mop anyway! So, after we were finished (all the snow was melted) I mopped it up while Ryan got Cameron ready for bed. What a fun night!!!!!

Playdough time!

So, in an effort to keep a very busy and curious toddler occupied in our many days together I decided to make playdough and let him add WHATEVER he wanted in it! He decided he wanted "sprinkle balls" as Cameron called the sprinkles. We had so much fun! The sprinkle balls added nice color and little texture to the playdough. We played for almost an hour, making snowmen, snakes, and other playdough designs. The cutest things was watching and listening to Cameron "feed" and "share" his sprinkle balls with the snakes and snowmen. Adorable!! It was sooo easy: salt, water, and flour! ENJOY!

I love, love, love this picture! Look at those cute little hands and adorable little fingers!

Christmas Morning 2009 :)

Finally--Cameron totally LOVED every aspect of Christmas morning. He was soooooo excited to open presents, insisted that Daddy get each toy out of the original package before moving on, and shared a unique & exciting expression while opening each gift. What a wonderful experience--to watch the joys of Christmas through the eyes of a toddler! I can't wait until next year! ;)

Cameron's Santa gift!

Here is Cameron's main Santa gift--a Powerwheels Jeep! He loved it! Unfortunately it was POURING on Christmas morning, so we had to wait until the day after Christmas to enjoy riding it. We took him to a big parking lot and let him ride, run, and have a blast! The middle picture on the bottom is his facial expression as soon as he figured out the Jeep had "power." Too cute!

A few favorites from our snowed-in weekend :)
