We have been really busy since our last post. Cameron finished all of his finals and is now halfway through law school- Hooray!!! The night after Cameron finished his finals he got really sick and tore the lining between his esophagus and stomach, he is still recovering so things have been pretty low key at our house. This experience made us really grateful just to be together for the holidays. We did have a great Christmas at our house, we were very lucky to have my mom, dad, and sister Tori come to visit. Aleksandra loved having more people to play with for a few days. We made sugar cookies, gingerbread houses, rode camels and ponies, looked at lights and just enjoyed having family around. Aleksandra was a blast this year at Christmas she loved looking at Christmas lights and especially loved our tree. She would sit by the tree and just smile and wave at the tree, we even caught her patting and kissing the tree on occasion. She learned to say Santa, Hohoho, and Falalala. She also loved to look at pictures of baby Jesus. Thank you to everyone who made Christmas so wonderful this year!
Playing with grandma.
Aleksandra hard at work playing with all those new toys, grandma was such a good sport!
What else could a girl ask for... Disney princess hot pad, mitten and towel, thanks mom and dad... Aleksandra is hard at work playing her guitar.

Making sugar cookies with girls.
Aleksandra made her own cookie and then ate it right away!
Aleksandra on her pony. On the square downtown they had a pony carousel, Aleksandra LOVED it, although we weren't sure if she realised that she was actually on a pony- she was so excited about all the other ponies.
Aleksandra was quite sure about sitting on Santa's lap this year. She loved looking at him before and after just not really during. Santa was very nice to her! Aleksandra made lots of friends while we stood in line, she gave lots of hugs.
Aleksandra had fun decorating the tree with mom and dad!
