Cam's 9th Birthday

Cameron turned 9 on December 20th. We started his celebration by attending the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert featuring David Archuleta & Michael York on Sunday morning, Dec 19th. Our home teacher, Chris Metzger, is in the MoTab and got us the tickets. We felt extremely lucky as they had been sold out for quite some time. You have to be 8 years old to get into the Conference Center so Spencer, Cameron, and I left the other kids (including the babies) with our good friend Rebecca Bateman. We were told that we should be there 90 minutes early so we left the house at 7:15 am! It was pouring rain and we had to wait outside the Conference Center in a very long line. Although we parked the car around 8:00, we were not seated until 8:45! Everyone was soaking wet but happy. We got to watch the "Music and the Spoken Word" broadcast first. Then they continued singing for 45 minutes. Words honestly cannot describe how fabulous it was!!! The Spirit was so strong and we were grateful to have had this opportunity.

On Cam's actual birthday, he invited 8 friends to go to the movie, "Despicable Me." We loved the movie! So, so funny! He got some lovely gifts from his friends. We went to dinner as a family + Callie & her friend, Mike. We ate at Applebee's and Cam got his own birthday dessert and the waiters sang, "Happy, happy birthday from Applebee's to you...We wish it was our birthday so we could party too!"

Cam is growing up way too quickly! He is a good helper and big brother and we all love him!

Cameron looks so much like Ryan to me!! If Ryan and Noel ever have a boy, that is what I picture him looking like. :) He's very handsome.
