Strike a Pose.......

As with many little girls, dressing up is one of our FAVORITE activities. From mom, to dad, to Barley.......we love everyone to get involved in the action! However, unlike a large number of female tots, we are not donning tutus and high heels.....at the Weer house Carharts, Super Camdyn Capes (thanks Auntie Sara) and, of course, sunglasses set the foundation for our outfits of choice!

On the Twelve Days of Christmas Santa Brought to Me..........

Forced to lay extremely low and local due to the impending delivery of Weer Baby #2, the family had an incredibly relaxing and low-key Christmas morning! Although we have yet to finish celebrating, Miss Camdyn has already received more than any one child could ever need.....thankfully, not a single toy requiring a battery or unending hours of assembly was found beneath our tree...increasing the holiday pleasure for all!

Our top 5 favorite finds........

5. Several new puzzles
4. An old-fashioned top
3. Our first set of real Legos
2. The crazy pushable biking man from Auntie Jill

and our most beloved gift of all?!?!?!

1. The sample-sized box of Apple Jacks from Gamma!

Camdyn On Ice.......

Move over Disney....Camdini on ice has arrived! We gathered a couple of friends and headed to the community rink in order to test the ice-skaing skills of our little princess! Although we couldn't find skates quite small enough, we put our snow boots and bike helmet to the test.
While I can't say she didn't have a blast, she definitely wasn't quite old enough to understand exactly what was happening....and refused to relax her little legs so that Mom and Dad could drag her around. Thank goodness a more prepared parent had brought a sled, allowing her to spend the rest of the morning being pulled around in comfort and style!

"Ights Peez"

While still clutching her stuffed animals and wiping crusties from her sleepy eyes, "ights peez" are the first words out of Camdyn's little mouth each morning as we make the trek from her bedroom to the living room.

Apparently inheriting her mom's love for all things Christmas, Camdyn is fascinated by the tree in her house....not to mention rearranging the boxes under said tree no fewer than 10 times per day. The latest addition to the obsession is standing in front of the tree holding different stuffed animals or toys, putting on the biggest fake smile and shouting "cheese," just hoping Mom or Dad will take another picture to document the season. We figured it was about time we found some family top pose with her!

The Littlest Eskimos..........

As the big chill seems to be sweeping across the country, I can't help but think we are getting the brunt of the extreme weather. While the extreme cold has prevented a build-up of snow, we are working on day 7 without seeing a temperature higher than 8 degrees...and I have learned that the Subaru's thermometer really can plummet into the negative digits!

However, not even the frigid cold can keep the Weer family down. Donned in Snowsuits and stocking hats, last Saturday marked our first trip to the annual Enterprise Christmas parade....and what kind of a parade experience would it be without our best buddy Jonah?!?!?! Despite the cold, the kids were total troopers loving the lights, the free candy, and just about everything but the encounter with Santa Claus!

Where's Camdyn?!?!?

From piles of laundry, to stacks of stuffed animals, from a very early age Camdyn has shown a love for "hiding" among miscellaneous household objects. As we work on cleaning up our own toys, that passion has only heightened! Hence, one of our favorite past times of late is pretending to "clean-up Camdyn" as we get ready to pick-up one activity and transition to the next. This usually involves her covered with a pile of blocks, attempting to crawl into her own dirty clothes basket, or hiding inside of her book shelf among her books. Today, it happened to be nestling herself amidst a large plastic tote of puppets............she even insisted I attempt to put the lid on to create the ultimate "clean-up Camdyn" adventure!

Move Over Punky Brewster

Fearing tutus or princess outfits, I have long dreaded the day Camdyn begins picking out her own clothes. However, it looks as if my fear of all things ultra-feminine can be put to rest........we have a perfect little Punky Brewster on our hands! This is how we strolled into Sunday School last week.....good thing God doesn't just love little girls in frilly dresses!
