Christmas 2013


Christmas 2013 was a nice quiet day hanging out with our little family.  Carter got to decorate cookies to leave out for Santa at the neighbors house before bed.  He was so excited to leave out cookies and carrots for the reindeer.  Carter slept in till 7:00, which was amazing!!!  We had to wake up Kinley for the big day, but she was ok with that.  The kids got right to work opening presents and seeing what Santa had left them!  Tim and I tried to drag out opening the gifts as long as we could, but it gets harder and harder every year.  The kids were incredibly spoiled by family, and spent the rest of the day playing with all their goodies.  
Merry Christmas!!!

Parties!

With Carter's birthday being so close to Christmas, we tend to have a few different days where we celebrate his special day.  On the 14th, we had what he calls his fake birthday.  He got to invite some of his preschool friends over to play Beyblades and have snacks and cupcakes.  This little boy loves having his friends over.  It is cute to see him interact with the kids he spends so many days during the week with.  
On Carter's real birthday we had planned to go to New York.  So the day before, Tim and I took him to the movies to see Despicable Me 2 while Kinley stayed with Lilly.  We got home very late from Melissa's house, but we let him open all his presents since we were not going to be home the next day.  He loved seeing all his goodies, and was so excited about all his new toys.  When we woke up the next morning, we decided to ditch the New York trip since a big rain storm was headed that way.  Carter was more then happy to find out he wasn't sitting in the car all day!  So, he just got to play with all his new toys for the day!
Happy Birthday Carter Joseph!  I can't believe you are such a big boy already!!!!
