About Time

So I finally pulled out the sewing machine to do a few projects that have been on my mind. I am definitely not a great sewer and find it fun for a few minutes until I mess something up and spend the majority of my time unpicking what I did. Things did not change for this project, I definitely spent a lot of time unpicking but I am very happy with the final results.
First, I have been working on these dang bean bags since August (they were technically for Elliette's birthday) but I finally got them filled enough and had the motivation to finally finish. I got the idea from the craftblog website but decided to hand stitch the letters on instead of painting them and I like them much better.Second, I want to have somewhat matching stockings so I decided to make them myself. I know there are only 3 done but that is because I couldn't find another style of fabric I really liked so I will do another one next year. Eventually I want to have our names embroidered across the top as well.
Well, we leave for Kansas tomorrow so hope everyone has a merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

When we were walking along Cannery Row the other day I made the girls sit on Santa's lap so I could get pics. Camryn didn't care and Elliette wasn't sure what to think but didn't cry so I was happy. We also decided to have our family Christmas today and just do stockings while we are in Kansas so we wouldn't have to try and get the big gifts out there and back. I think I was the most excited I have been in a while and that says a lot since I am always excited about Christmas. After Elliette woke up Justin and I ran down the stairs first so that we could get the cameras ready and get pics and videos of her reactions and she did not disappoint. It was a very very fun Christmas and now we can't wait until we head off to Kansas, I love this time of year!

These last couple weeks have been kinda busy so I thought that I would just post some slide shows and pics so you can see what we have been up to,sorry about the overload but I really love my new camera.
I have been busy making a cake for the young womens personal progress night. More pics and details can be found on my treaty treats blog.
Here is Camryn, 2 Month stats: 10 lbs 10 oz 23.5 inches long both fall right around the 50%ile. She is just a little sweetheart and smiles all the time. It is so fun to watch her grow and she is getting so big, she loves to play with her little toy that she lays under and hits the hanging items.

Elliette 15 month stats:21 lbs 15 oz 31 inches long both of those I believe were about the 50%ile also. She is just such a goofball and is constantly making me laugh. We took her to toys r us one day and she was in heaven running around all the toys. She is actually a good little shopper and loves to walk around and touch items as she looks around and if she picks something up she will walk around with it for a moment and then go back and put it away before picking up another item.

Justin was promoted a little while ago and we were able to be there to put on his new rank. Also there are pics of the beautiful area.

BEST HUSBAND EVER

Justin braved the early morning shoppers on Black Friday and ran to Radio Shack at 5 am to get me a new camera that is actually a nicer camera than the one that was lost and it came with a free portable mini printer so take that camera thief! I did promise him that I would guard this one with my life and so far I have not lost it and have been playing around with the different settings which is a whole lot of fun and taking a lot of cute pictures of the girls. But, I am having problems reading the card and getting the pictures off the camera tonight and I am to tired to figure it out so there will be some new pics here soon. YAY! He also went out and got us some delicious sushi for my birthday dinner, it was fantastic!
