Christmas with Pemberton's

Since we have two families we have to split the holidays, since we have been married we have always done Thanksgiving with one family and then Christmas with the other. However, the last 2 Christmas's we have spent with Dave's family and so it almost feels weird not spending it with them this year! We did an early celebration and got together at Kenzie and Andy's house, we had a yummy dinner, opened presents and enjoyed being together. Katie was stuck in Spokane so she was not able to make it. We missed her:(

Colt was really into opening the presents this year, even more so than on his birthday in June. Camryn loved to help him and they both loved to play with the toys. Aunt Kenzie, Uncle Andy and Camryn got Colt one of those fun matching magnets that go on the fridge and make music. Colt loves it, he spends a good 20 minutes a day in front of our fridge now playing with it.

Papa Mike got Colt his very first gun (much to Memah's dismay). He thought it was pretty cool!

Playing with his new toy, I finally took it and hid it from him because he kept wanting to go around shooting people and he would swing it around, I was sure he was going to whack someone with it!

He also got some new John Deere tractors and trucks....

...he had a lot of fun playing with all his new toys. He got so many nice things from Mike and Julie. I am not real big on buying him toys so I know Colt loves the fact that his grandparents buy him fun and educational things. He also got lots of clothes, a coloring book and crayons, magnet letters for the fridge and of course some new books!!

With Aunt Kenzie and Uncle Andy...oh and he is playing with Aunt Randee's socks (I think either him or Camryn pulled them off her feet).

Kenzie found Colt these super cute Batman pajamas. I love this picture! Camryn in her pretty princess pj's and Colt in Batman!!

We tried really hard to get a cute picture with both kids in front of the tree and smiling at the camera. Camryn listened much better than Colt!

BATMAN! He even has a cape!!

The boys. They are playing there FAVORITE game called Settlers of Cattaan. Katie's fiance Travis brought it to our family vacation this summer in McCall and ever since all the boys are hooked on it. Only the boys ever play it (though Katie has been known to give it a try too). Of course the girls were behind the camera taking all the pictures or watching the kids while the boys played. Isn't that always the way??

**BTW: Colt still LOVES his daddy, he is all he wants its always "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!"
