What a week!

Its SO windy up here that even when its not snowing it looks like it is. All the wind pushed snow up into our entry.

Why buy presents?

Looking to dad to make sure its FINALLY ok to wrip at the pretty presents.

He was so excited about this gift from Grandma and Grandpa Tibbitts he wasn't interested in opening any more!

He always wants to be a part of the group!

Some much needed new jeans from Cam.

Santa knew Clint would be at our house and brought him the Dark Night

Cameron couldn't wait to try out his new snow pants.

Our mess after opening all of our presents.

Jake enjoying his new "toy" remote!

Wow we have been so busy over this holiday season! All of Cameron's out of town family were able to come up and share Christmas with us, and between my family and Cam's, we've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off! Don't get me wrong we have loved almost every minute of it, minus the part about Jake's sleep schedule (which I worked so hard on and nearly shot my foot off in the process) getting a little out of whack, (its on the road to recovery as we speak.) We have had gathering after gathering. Its been fun to relax with family around the table and tell funny stories and make fun of each other. The best part of Christmas this year is having Jacob with us. The road to becoming a mother was THEE hardest thing I've endured so far in this life, so having a healthy, beautiful child to share it with brings me to tears. Cam and I were talking last night about that difficult journey and remembering some of those emotion times it took to get here and it made me so grateful for where we are at now. I know I'm far from the only one who has had heartbreak before happiness but I think all experiences are so different that the only people who know how hard it was for Cam and I ARE Cam and I. Looking back I'm SO grateful for that emotional and sometimes physical trial in our lives. I will admit that many times my faith failed me but there was always someone to pick me up and put me back on the straight and narrow. Most of the time it was Cameron. After all we've been through together my testimony is stronger and my faith gets stronger everyday. The Lord must think a lot of me to know how paranoid I am and what a worry wort I can be and still have faith in me to get through those few really hard years. This Christmas has been a special one with a different meaning than all others. How blessed I am, how blessed we, as a family are.
