Camden's First Christmas Sunday

The past week has been mostly uneventful. Austin was home with Camden on the days I worked. On my days off, we enjoyed playing with toys and taking naps around the Christmas tree. On Friday, my folks had their first lamb of the season. We took Camden in to see the baby lamb. He was terrified of the Mommy sheep, but he did laugh and smile at the baby lamb....... until the baby lamp whimpered to her Mommy. Let's just say that Camden doesn't like the baa, baa, baa sound just yet.

Today we continued with our normal routine - wake up, eat breakfast, rush to get ready for church, go to church, come home and eat dinner, and take a long nap. We just woke up from our 3 hour nap. Shortly we'll head back to town for Carols by Candlelight. In our mad rush to get to church this morning, we did find time for a few photos by our Christmas tree. I hope to take photos of our family on each Christmas Sunday. During my childhood, my mom would always take photos of my sister and me in our Christmas dresses. It is fun to look back at the photos mom took over the years. Hopefully someday Camden will appreciate the photos that I take of our family.

This week we will be an exciting week, and I can't hardly wait. This will be Camden's first celebration of the birth of Christ. We plan to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Smith side of the family and Christmas morning with my folks, sister, and her fiance. Then we'll travel to the Shafer Christmas later on Christmas Day. We also anxiously await the birth of Aira Pankey who is due to enter this world on Christmas Day. Hang in their Jon and Ashley - you are in our thoughts and prayers during this special time. Friday is set aside to help Cory and Tegan (my cousin and his fiance) prepare for their big day. On Saturday, December 27th we'll celebrate the beginning of Cory and Tegan's new life together at their wedding ceremony. Then on Sunday we'll head to church and then to the Yake Christmas. We have a very busy week ahead of us and we pray that we not forget the reason for this season and that is Christ!
