About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (7), Camden (5) and Emma Grace (3). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures.
Christmas 2009
Our family had a great Christmas this year. Each year it just gets better because the kids get more excited.
Each year we try and do things as a family that incorporate the true meaning of Christmas. This year we made an Advent calendar and did a magnetic nativity on the refrigerator. The kids enjoyed putting a new piece on the nativity and pulling out a different activity for us to do each day.
After Christmas Eve service and driving around to look at Christmas lights, the kids set out cookies and milk for Santa and then they were off to bed. This year Caleb was so excited that it took him a while to fall asleep, but Camden and Emma were out like a light.
Emma’s theme this year was “Princess”. She got a dress up outfit, jewelry, a pop-up princess castle and a tea set to play with.
Caleb and Camden got a Cars race track this year as a joint gift. They have spent endless hours playing with this toy. But, the big gifts for the boys were games and puzzles.
We spent the afternoon at my in-laws were we got more gifts and had Christmas dinner. Our dog, Milo, spent his afternoon on any available lap.
