Our Christmas

Here are a few photos from our Christmas. I think that it is pretty obvious that we are 1. terrible about taking pictures and 2. when we do take pictures, they are only of Carter... We had a great Christmas and loved spending time with all of our family. It was so much fun to do the whole Santa thing with Carter this year and he seemed to kind of understand the idea. He LOVED all of the Christmas decorations all over town. Carter knew exactly which stores had which giant decorations and he would insist that we go see them every time we entered the stores. Carter could spot a christmas tree or a snowman across a parking lot and was just amazed by our tree at home. Carter still asks to see the Santas and other decor at stores and we are having to try to explain that he has to wait a year to start the process all over again.I have a feeling that our Christmases will only get more entertaining and fun-filled as Carter and his soon to be sister get older and more involved. Having a kid around absolutely makes Christmas a lot more fun!!!


Carter is expressing his excitement about his Christmas presents!



Santa brought Carter a train, train table, a drum and a Yo Gabba Gabba boat for the bathtub! He was so excited!


Carter is learning how to smile for the camera and was so happy to celebrate Christmas with my family and Philip's reindeer on the wall!

Carter is 2



Well, Carter actually turned 2 on December 21st and we celebrated the weekend before Christmas. Carter had an amazing time at his party. What is not to love about having 25 adults adore you and shower you with attention and gifts??? Carter was so excited to be surrounded by all of his favorite people. When we all started to sing "Happy Birthday" his face totally lit up and he realized that we were all singing to him. After we finished, he looked around and requested "Jingle Bells" from what he assumed to be his personal carolers. Carter has definitely made the past two years the most amazing and fun years of our lives! I can't believe that this past 2 years have gone by so quickly. Thank you to everyone who helped Carter celebrate his birthday!
