Christmas #2 ....

Christmas #1

countdown to christmas ....

Oh Hallmark - how you do keep us entertained every year...

I love this face -- could be a little bias!

Carter practicing his photography - the subject of many photos ....

He was so excited and wanted to say "cheese with the Christmas tree ! " -I did not even have to ask !!

oh santa ...

1st trip to see Santa - was a little worried on how C would react. He really has no clue who Santa is - or that you can ask him for gifts. In C's mind Santa - or HoHo as he likes to call him - is a blow up in the neighbors yard. So we decided to stop on our way home to meet Santa.

C and Dad scouted him out while i waited in line - there was a lot of waving from the safety of Dad's arms. We decided to draw Santa a pretty picture - and when it was his time to go and meet him - well we were VERY surprised. C was very excited about showing "HoHo" his picture and went right up to him. He did not mind when he got picked up -and really just wanted to point out to Santa everything around him.

Now the pic is not much (too many things going on around him for C to look at the camera ) - but I will take it considering I thought we would have a screaming kid - or Dad holding him! But C was very happy to to meet HoHo - gave him a hug and told him Merry Christmas before hopping off his lap !

ahh - life is good ....

a little night time fun ....

we like our boxes ...

oh yeah - we had a birthday

Happy Birthday - Brought to you by the Letter C and Number 2!
