Long time Over due....

So considering I am still meaning to send out our Christmas card, obviously my mind has been so busy with other things that my blogging got put aside for a while.

December was a crazy month for us at the Olsen house:

- Camie began crawling and moving around over the holidays which has created a panic of having to keep all small things off the ground and preparing for blocking off stairs (which is a first for us).

- Peter sand in his first concerts with the Portland Mormon Choir. It was fantastic and he had a blast. He is looking forward to the next concert in April.

- We spent the week prior to Christmas and Christmas day in Vancouver. We had tons of fun celebrating and being able to be around family.

- Around 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas we found out we would have to make a trip to San Diego to attend Peter's brother's wedding. So 2 days after Christmas we got in our suburban and drove the 17 hour drive (with a stop at Peter's parents to break it up) down to Oceanside where we stay at a beachside house with all of Peter's family. We played in the sand and enjoyed the relaxing time with the family.

- While in Southern California, Peter and I celebrated our 7th anniversary by attending the San Diego temple. It was such a wonderful spiritual experience that I think it has become our favorite anniversary thus far.

- We also were able to take the kids to Disneyland and California Adventures. We had a blast playing and learning how the boys reacted to different rides. Andrew had issues with any drops or dark parts...quite funny to watch when we went on Thunder Mountain Railroad.

- We bought the boys a bunk bed over the holidays and they are loving it. I am so glad that we finally did it and it looks so good!

We are so glad to be back and finally able to get back on with life. This month we are preparing for Beck's 3rd birthday and for the beginning of my training for the Newport Marathon. It will be a fun month and we cannot wait to see what this year brings for us.
