It's finally feeling like the holidays!

It's time to get into the Christmas Spirit in the Freihaut household! We are planning on putting up our Christmas tree this evening. While I can't wait for the tree to go up, I can definitely wait for Cameron's recent path of destruction to take it down! This past week we broke out the Christmas books to get Cam excited about the holidays! His favorite book by far is the one Grandpa and Grandma O'Brien and Aunt Whitney gave him last year of them reading him 'The Night Before Christmas'. He loves hearing them read to him through the book. Whenever he hears my dad's voice reading her says "Nana" and looks at the door thinking he is here. No matter how hard my dad has tried to teach Cam papaw.. he is just plain Nana to Cam! It is pretty funny.

Last Saturday, Cameron and I went to my mom's house for our annual Christmas Cookie day! Cam got to visit with all of his cousins (except Nate who had a football game) and had a blast "decorating" the cookies. Cam's idea of decorating was more of un-decorating them and eating the toppings. His favorite treat of the day were Craisins. Needless to say I went out and bought him some the next day! Below is our favorite cookie we made.. Brobee!!!

Cameron's vocabulary continues to increase and he amazes me each day with what he says. He has started to string two words together and will ask "What's that?" and most recently he told me "Mama poo" after he did the deed. I love watching him talk more and understand more of what we say to him. He is very into singing and dancing and sang me a song this morning about a dog and a duc.. quack quack quack. It's adorable I must say.

What is not so adorable is his desire to destroy anything in his path! Which brings me back to the Christmas tree. I have thought about putting an enclosure around the tree but then I thought he's a toddler.. I should let him and ourselves experience his toddlerhood to the fullest! So I fully expect to be rehanging ornaments and rewrapping presents daily but that's ok because I want him to experience everything Christmas at his current destructive way! Should be interested to say the least!

I will leave you with a few more pics to ogle over until next time when I update our tree went through the front window or something!
