Our month in review

Christmas was so much fun this year. The kids were all so excited. They woke up at the crack of dawn and made us get up. you can tell from the lighting in the pictures how it's pretty dark still haha They spent the day testing out their new skateboards and Jason helped them learn how to play all their new games. I observed my men fondly from a distance and got to enjoy some alone time in the kitchen while I made my christmas meals. It was a great day for everyone. Also since Jason didn't have to work the week of Christmas we got to go exploring. We went to the beach and circled the whole island. It's such a beautiful place. We saw alot of things, from a dead boar strapped to the front of a jeep(that's something you don't see on the mainland) to a little boy learning to surf with his parents.
On Cameron's birthday he decided he wanted to go to the dinosaur exhibit at the museum. It was life-size dinosaurs that moved and made noises. Scared poor Eli to death. He ended up screaming like I've never seen a baby do before. Totally terrified. That made me feel bad, but Cameron and William thought it was the coolest thing ever. They also had a volcano building, where they simulate an erupting volcano. There was all kinds of volcano related activities for them there. As well as all of that they got to guide underwater diving cameras. Then we came home and had a volcano shaped cake and presents. It was so fun to see the boys so excited all day about everything they saw there. Cameron had a great birthday.
