January 2013

Well with February drawing to a close I decided it was time to update for January.
On December 31st we went over to my parents house to celebrate my Dads 71st birthday. We played games and and yummy food. Then as we left their house, we notice fireworks close by. So we went to find them. The community just up the hill from our house was setting them off! So we could sit in our van, on our street and watch huge beautiful fireworks! The kids thought they were amazing and both kept saying "Beautiful!". After we got the kids into bed Cam and I watched a few count downs. But we were in bed by 10:30pm. I cannot remember the last time we stayed up! haha

While Carter was still on winter break, he went to a winter camp at Renfrew on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. He LOVED it, and it was a nice split up for the holiday. They did everything fun (with a bit of therapy worked in there). It is because of this that I realized, Carter knew who Santa Clause is!! And he LOOOVES him. Next year we will be taking him to see him at the mall for sure.
January 5th- First thing this morning, Carter and Cam went so Carter could get his 5yr old shots. When the nurse weighed him, she thought something was wrong with the scale. Made him step off and on. Asked Cam is he was touching him. She couldn't believe that he weighed in at 21.9kgs! (48 lbs). Cam said that hes always been this way! Hi height was 111cm. Then we went as a family to Cross Iron Mills mall and we had such a good time. We bought tokens at the arcade and played for over an hour! The kids (and us!!!) loved it!! We had so much fun! Then we had lunch and ice cream and headed home.
January 6th- After church we had Grandma and Grandpa Millington over for a Roast beef dinner. This is the most I've ever seen Erica laugh!
7-15th. On Monday the 7th, Carter returned to school an he was VERY happy to see Gerry his bus driver! Tuesday the 8th, Erica went into #3 diapers. Wednesday the 9th. I had my first meeting with the Primary presidency. I got called as the secretary in Primary. Thursday the 10th, Erica got her 4 month shots. She weighed just under 17lbs. It snowed a lot today, so while Erica napped the four of us went out and played in the snow. We made a big mound in the middle of the front lawn that Carter would slide down on, with his sled. But he preferred just rolling down it himself. Tonight was Cams first game for Stake Basket ball. Friday the 11th, Logan had a play date with Jason Byrne. His mom and I visited. Sunday the 13th we were surprised when Cam got called as the 2nd counseller in the Elders Quorum! He is really excited!
January 21st - Cam and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary.
January 25th- Cam, Erica and I went to the RV show at the Stampede grounds with Bridgette, Joe and Alyssa. The boys stay over night at their Aunt Kathys house. So Cam and I could have some alone time for our anniversary.
January 26th - Tonight Cam and I went to the Byrnes house to play games.
