Christopherson Lane

So, our little girl Cheryl Love turned 2 on January 5th! We actually have a 2 year old. Wow. It was so much fun. Cheryl loves monkey's and her new favorite movie is Jungle Book (if I let her she would watch it all day), so we decided to do a monkey themed birthday party. We had vines hanging from the ceiling and I even made a monkey cake. We had Bonnie my cousin and her daughters, Shaylee and Brooke and my cousin Adriann and her daughter Ivy and of course me, Nathan, CHERYL, and June. Plenty of people and poor Nathan the only boy. Oh well whats ya gonna do, huh? We had so much fun. We ate Jimmy Johns sandwiches(sorry Joi), and frozen banana Popsicles dipped in yogurt and they were really good. It is one of Cheryl's favorite snacks and healthy too. We played pin the banana on the monkey, without the blindfold. And of course ate cake and opened presents. Thanks to all who gave to Cheryl. Cheryl now has a big girl bed that she adores and loves to be in. Whew, I was so worried that

Grandma and Grandpa Campbell and Grandma Gardner brought Cheryl some birthday stuff on there way home from Idaho. They brought a cake and a Radio Flyer pink and purple Tricycle. She doesn't know how to ride yet but she is on it all the time on will get it soon. Thanks Grandma and Papa for the bike, Cheryl loves it. XOXO-Erin

Christmas this year was really fun. Grandma and Grandpa Campbell stopped by on the way to Idaho. Cheryl was excited and loves to see them. Nathan read from the scriptures and we watched A Christmas Story and ate cookies. We wrapped presents that night and put together the step stool too. We had homemade hot chocolate and pancakes for breakfast. Then the fun began...we opened the gifts! It was so great to see Cheryl enjoy getting presents now. June was asleep while we let Cheryl open her first gift. The Jesse doll from Toy Story, she loved it so much that she just wanted to play with that and she still wants Jesse with her wherever she goes. It's so cute. We decided to get ready and go out for lunch and then play in the snow. We went to McDonald's for lunch(what a treat, Cheryl loved the play place) and the girls fell asleep on the way to the snow...so we kept driving around and just went home. We didn't get back in time to eat our ham dinner so we decided to go to a Chinese
