Finals are finally over

Courtney has been working really hard this semester. For the last week and a half Courtney has been going to school at 8 and not getting home till 5 or 9. Even when he was home he would study until 12 or 1 in the morning. We have really missed having him home. Yesterday he finished his last final for the semester. When he came home he brought me flowers and Sparking Cider for putting up with him being gone. He is so sweet! Kambri was so happy that her daddy was home. They cuddled and then went out and played in the snow. After Kambri's nap we went to Carabba's to celebrate the end of the semester. Courtney has worked so hard and we are so proud of him. We hope the next 3 semester go by fast!

Ivory Family Christmas party

This weekend we headed to Fountain Green for the Ivory family Christmas part. We hadn't been in 3 years, so it was good to go and see family. Kambri had so much fun with her cousins. She loves to have tea parties, so her and Titus found the tea set and had a tea party. During dinner I went to find her and I found her in Great Grandma's beauty chair with grandma doing her hair! After dinner they had Santa come and bring gifts. She LOVED Santa, and loved opening her gift. Courtney and I can't wait for Christmas morning with our little girl!

Oh Christmas Tree!

The first week of December we decided to put our Christmas tree up. We have made it a tradition that we watch The Grinch while we put the tree up. Kambri was so afraid of the Grinch. She held her doll tight for most of the movie. Once we told her the Grinch was nice she has really taken a liking to  him. If she see the "Dinch" aka Grinch she talks to him. It's really cute.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we went to the Jeffs. Jennifer and Eric headed from Vegas Wednesday night and stayed at our place, so Thursday we all headed to Vernal. Thanksgiving is a little wild with all the kids, but it was still a lot of fun. Thursday night everyone but my mom and I headed to do some Black Friday shopping. They had a lot of fun and were able to get all the things they wanted and then some. It also happened to be Jennifer's 30th birthday, so we had a little party for her that night as well. It was nice to be able to relax and Kambri and Jordi loved having a backyard to play in and friends to play with!

Disney on Ice

A few months ago we got tickets to see Disney on Ice. For months we were so excited to go and it didn't disappoint. I was so afraid Kambri wouldn't sit through it and it would be a waste, but she did so good. She loved loved loved watching all the characters. We weren't surprised that her favorite act was all the princesses. After the short intermission she was getting a little tired, but she still loved it!
Love how this picture captures her excitement

First snow

We have been waiting for it to snow, but nothing ever happened until today! We are so glad it snowed and we were able to play in it. When we went to get all of our winter gear we found out we left it at Courtney's parents house. So, we bundled up as best we could and headed out. Kambri loved playing in the snow! We can't wait to have our winter gear and for it to snow more!

Play Time

I have pinned a lot of activities to do with Kambri on Pinterest, but had yet to do very many. Today we decided we would have a little fun with baking soda. Kambri loved to drop the vinegar in the baking soda and watch it bubble up. I think we'll be doing a lot of these over the winter. 
 

Picnic

For some reason Kambri has really liked sitting on the floor to eat, so we decided to have a picnic. For weeks after we had our little picnic Kambri wanted to keep eating on the floor and would have a full blown out tantrum if we didn't let her. I'm glad she is finally growing out of that. Now we have the task of keeping her up to the table to eat and not running around to play.
 

Halloween

A few days before Halloween we decided to carve the pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch. Kambri was not a fan of sticking her hand in the pumpkin to get the guts out. We tried to make her sick her hand in, but she just cried! So, Courtney and I got the pumpkins cleaned out and Kambri helped us carve.


 
Kambri was Snow White for Halloween this year. She loved dressing up! Our apartment complex had a small trunk or treat in the early afternoon that we went to. As you can see we didn't decorate our trunk, but we did have candy! After the trunk or treat we went to the Orem mall and went to the stores to trick or treat. Kambri had a lot of fun and we were overloaded with candy.
