Christmas with the Nichols & Reaves

This year we did gifts at the Reaves' house and had a blast!

Here are Bella and Caden opening their handmade quilts that Nannie made for them!

 Check out those quilts!

 Here we are opening some gifts for ourselves!

 Cameron loved his little puppy from GiGi and Poppa!  Caden had to come over and take a look!

Caden scored a Mario Wii game and was super thrilled!

 Bella Beautiful!

 Cam the Ham

 What a wonderful family time we had!  So much fun!

 Mom got us all scarves for Christmas, so here is the 'proper' picture!

 And the silly one!

Auntie Kay and Uncle Scott gave Caden a soccer ball!  He loves it!

Thank you to the Reaves for hosting our family Christmas!  Good times!

Catching Up!

Please scroll down through the posts.  I have them in 'date' order.

Strep Hockey

At the end of Mini Mites (class before last), the kids got medals just like in the Olympics.  Caden was super excited, however, he had Strep!  Talk about playing through the pain.  Check out how sick he looked...

 Daddy and Caden watching another game that was ending.

Daddy and Cameron enjoying hockey!

Caden got a '14' in flames painted on his face which helped improve his mood...poor little guy did such a great job despite his illness!

Sweet Boys!

Here are just a few snapshots of our sweet boys!  Could.Not.Have.Been.More.Blessed!

Caden is the only one that can make Cameron laugh the hardest!  In this picture I think Cameron was doing the same to him!

 Boys will be boys!

 Helping Mommy feed Cameron!

 Sweet boys in their matching pj's from GiGi!

Remote

I don't think I've ever met a boy/man that didn't love a TV remote!  Cameron is no exception!

 

ICE! Gaylord Texan

We took the kids to ICE! at Daddy's work and had a blast.  Caden loves Madagascar so it was the perfect theme!


Cameron wasn't cooperating in this pic!

Brrrrrr it was cold!

I always love the ICE! Nativity Scene.

Caden got to meet the lion Alex!

We 4 Iveys

Love, love, love the ice sculptures!

These were my favorite!

Baseball, Cameron and Mario

Here are some random shots.

Caden is all about Mario and was totally hung up on wanting the Mario Sports Mix Wii game.  Well of course it was THE most expensive one out there, so Tim and I were not sure if we should get it unless we knew he was serious about wanting to play it.  We got him the Mario Baseball one that was 1/2 the price and he absolutely loved it.  We decided we were going to spring for the pricey one.  Well, of course by the time we decided to get it, everyone was sold out of it!  Tim and I made phone calls all over DFW to find one and finally did.

Here is a picture of Caden holding his new game that Daddy picked up on the way home for him.  Look how excited Cameorn was too! :)

 I think we may have another future hockey player...

 ...or baseball player!

These next few pictures are from Caden's last baseball game.

Here he is hitting the ball!

Hanging up his bat.

Team shot of all the Dodgers!

After the game, we headed across the street to the park and celebrated with cupcakes and trophies!  Here is Coach Tim giving the game ball away.

One of the dad's, Craig James, bought 'game balls' for all the coaches and had the kids on the team sign them!  He presented one to each coach!  Such a cool idea and a thoughtful gift.

We had another great season with the Dodgers and we will definitely miss them all!

Cameron's 1st Birthday Slideshow

We cannot believe our Cameron is already one!  The year flew by!  We had such a great time at his monkey-themed party!  He truly is our little happy monkey!

Enjoy the slideshow!

Happy Halloween!

Yes, I know, waaaaay behind....

Here is our big man on Halloween before school.  I just love his shirt!  My friend from school made it for me.

Here he is showing you all his Halloween socks!

The Farouks invited us over for a Halloween Party, so after school was out, we all got dressed up and headed over there.  Krissy Farouk was Caden's K3 teacher.

 Dracula and Mickey Mouse

Cameron was not sure about getting kisses from the fanged one!

 Still unsure...

Mommy Vampire and Mickey!

After everyone ate, we all headed out to their neighborhood to Trick or Treat.  Here is Captain America!

 Here are all the kiddos.

 He came away with quite the haul!

Happy Birthday Cameron

We cannot imagine our lives without our Cameron!  He fills our lives with so much fun and joy it is just indescribable!

We love you so much Cameron and cannot believe it has already been 1 year!

Love this face!!!!

I think this face says, 'You have 2 seconds to get this hat off my head!'
