Dear Santa

We took Cale to see Santa just a few days before Christmas. I was afraid that the lines would be terrible because we waited so late, but Cale had been sick and I did not want to take him out. We got to the Town Center and to our surprise, there was not much of a line at all. Our wait time was about 10-15 minutes.

So we made it through the line and it was finally our turn, and what does Cale want to do....PLAY! He walked right up to Santa, but as soon as Santa reached for him, he turned and ran with that little grin on his face. He was tired of being restrained and wanted to go! We sat him with Santa and he sat just fine with this blank look on his face. That is why we opted for the sweet picture of him and Santa looking at each other!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is still a tender spot for me. This was when we always did our Christmas with my Daddy. Now that Daddy is gone, we still get together on Christmas Eve. It is nice to still spend that time with family. So we had Jason, Jenny, Brody, and Trevor over this year. We ate dinner and then the boys played.

Here is Cale showing everyone his favorite ornament. It is a race car that makes noise....go figure :)
My Granny was out of town this year for Christmas, but she had my Aunt Joyce bring over the boy's presents from her. We decided that it would be fun to let them open their gifts from Granny. And of course they were excited.

Cale got a base ball game

Brody got some game that had lots of little marbles....needless to say we had to keep Cale away because he likes to put everything in his mouth still.

And Trevor got a glow-worm. I did not know that they still made these, but he loved it!

After many attempts and much help from Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jason, we were able to get a picture of Cale in front of the tree.

Then it was time for bed. We all had to get ready for Santa Clause to come see us :)

Daddy's Shoes

Why is it that kids always want to wear their parent's shoes? Is it some fetish we are born with? I know I did is as a kid. And Cale is no exception. Except maybe that he has extra large shoes to fill.....size 14! But at the rate his foot is growing he will be there in no time :)

My Latest Creations

I just finished my third cake decorating class. The more classes I take, the more I love decorating the cakes! I am thinking about quiting my day job to do cakes! I wish! Maybe one day though. For now I would love to do it on the side and if I can build a business out of it that would be fantastic :)

For now, here are my latest cakes!

Cake Course #3

I started course 3 in my cake decorating classes! In this class we are introduced to fondant :) Here is my first experience working with fondant. I thought it turned out beatiful for my first go-round!

Air Show

This weekend we went to my mom's at the beach to watch the air show. I was afraid that the loud noise would scare Cale, but he did great.

Here he is walking. Yes he is now officially walking. It took him long enough but he has finally figured it out.
Playing catch.
