I just realized that I haven't posted any of the pictures from Colters 2 week old photo shoot..... well here are some of my favorite (there are so many great ones, its hard to choose, so here are just a few) I cant believe how little he was here, and how big he is now, and how much he has changed in just a few short months. It kind of makes me sad, but I can say, I love my Colter boy more and more each day.

A Magical Christmas Whirl Wind

Even though this trip was short,

it was so worth every second!!

4 days in St. George
4 days in SLC
and a few travel days

It all started on the 23rd we flew into Vegas late that night

We saw Santa in the airport. he was on his lunch break but he was kind enough to take a few pictures. Colter didn't know what to think at first, but then he snuggled right up in his fur and got quite comfy. He was a very Jolly Santa.

Christmas Eve

we "all" acted out the nativity this year, last minute throw together but it turned out great and it was so much fun!! Im so glad we recorded it, there are some priceless moments. Kids make all of Christmas more fun. Benson and Rylee were Mary and Joseph and Colter was supposed to be Baby Jesus, but he didn't want any part of it. The rest of us were wise men, shepherds, sheep, angels, the narrator, singers and whatever else we came up with.

Santa's Little Helpers..... giving out Christmas Eve PJ's

(one of my favorite traditions)

Feeding the Raindeer......all over

Christmas Day

We had to wake the Kids up Christmas morning, we started at about 9...it was nice to be able to sleep in a bit.... who am i kidding our 'sleep in' days are over since Colter has blessed our lives. We did "Santa" and stockings, the kids got a TON of stuff and were over opening presents. so it worked out perfect, we took a break, ate breakfast and went to church, hung out, took naps and then started it ALL back up again.

Nothing like the pure JOY and EXCITEMENT of kids on Christmas morning

Colter got a little overwhelmed and over stimulated...it was really cute/sad
he is use to a very quiet house with just the three of us.

Cousin LOVE

We attempted to take some Family Pictures

we did pretty good

only a few tears were shed

Fabulous food of course

the entire time!!

we spent the next two days enjoying our time together, relaxing, eating, playing games, doing pilates, boys went shooting their guns, we got spoiled!! being all together was great!! it was more than we could have ever asked for.

thanks M&D

Love you all!!!

Then we were off to SLC

We blessed Colter James on the 28th

We did it at Landon's parents house, it was wonderful. We had our entire families and some close friends. Landon did an amazing job and gave Colter a beautiful Blessing. Thank you to everyone who came and shared this special occasion with us.

We spent the next four days catching up with friends and hanging out with family. Its never quite long enough to fit everything in, but we did a pretty good job seeing as many people as we could, even if it was for a quick minute. Landon was bummed that there wasnt ANY snow so he couldnt hit the slopes. We managed to fill every minute of every day. Thanks to everyone for making so wonderful.

Colter put on a little show for Grandma and Grandpa Great they loved it, and we always love spending time with them. I'm so glad that we were able to spend some time with them.

lovin on Colter boy

Oliver was fascinated with Colter it was so dang cute. he just couldnt get enough of him. probably because they have the same "parts"

"colter has different parts then my baby sophie, hers dont look like that" -Ollie

Cameron Family Challenge
