December..Over, but not Forgotten

December came and went without a new post....the first month that I have missed completely since Carter was born.  December was a month full of Birthday and Christmas (i.e. events that one may feel deserve to be recorded in blog form), but because we were actually busy at these events, posting was postponed.  So, here is an update to cover the time that has elapsed.  

Carter's First Birthday

Carter and his official present-opener

Carter attacked his cupcake and did not take a breath until he had devoured the entire thing.

My sweet birthday boy before the guests and excitement arrived.  

Just an everyday dinner with Carter...who doesn't love a messy face

Christmas with Carter

Carter and his only encounter with Santa this year....I know...poor parenting

Carter actually opening a gift on Christmas morning...

he likes it because it has a mirror...he already knows how cute he is

Missing blogs or not, we had a great December and a wonderful 2008.  Carter has enhanced our lives in ways we never could have expected and he forces us to keep a sense of humor in all things.  We are all lucky to have so many friends and family to support us and love on Carter.  Here is to a fabulous 2009 with a toddler....more to come!
