and so we had a Merry little Christmas


Carter is all smiles while he rides his new tractor with a wagon from Santa!

Carter had such a good time playing and hanging out with Jack, Patrick and Alex on Christmas Day at Aunt Traci and Uncle Tim's house.


Decorating cookies for Santa....this is one of Carters most favorite things to do and he was so completely thrilled that Uncle Travis was there to help him.


Uncle Travis, Nana and Papa joined us on Christmas Eve, along with my family, for dinner. The table was tight, the kitchen was crowded but I LOVED seeing everybody at our house for the holidays.


Granny and Papa Bob with all the kiddos while we celebrated Christmas at their house.


ok so here is keira, all smiles for the camera. and no I did not ask her to do this, she saw the camera, put her hands up and just started smiling. She is just like her mom, always ready and willing to smile for the cameras. and a beautiful smile it is!


and this is what happens when three kids, ages 4, 2, and 2, lock themselves in a bathroom with an arsenal of princess make-up. Aren't they beautiful!

We had such a wonderful Christmas, not only that day, but the whole month long. We are so blessed to be so close to our families and so completely lucky that we all enjoy getting together and making memories every chance we get!

I think Carter had a really nice Christmas! The only thing he wanted was that tractor and wagon!! What a lucky little boy he is to have such wonderful parents as you and Matt! Not for helping Santa, but for all the special things you do with Carter!!
