Christmas Day

We celebrated our first Christmas in our new house. It was a hit! Santa came and brought the kids all sorts of goodies. We ate a huge breakfast and an even bigger lunch. Yummy! Then we spent most of the day hanging out and watching the kids play with all their new toys. Here is Carter seeing one of his toys Santa brought him....

Grace's Christmas Play

We had Grace's annual Christmas program at school. Brad and I were there on the front row looking like nerds with our huge cameras and camcorders...needless to say we were ready and waiting. She did great! She sang some songs and jingled some bells and had a blast. Here is a cute pic with Papa and Susu!

Here is a great close up of her with her proud face look...

And here she is jingled her bells...

We are looking forward to next year b/c she will have a speaking part....I am nervous already!!

Happy B-day Carter

December 1, 2008 my sweet boy was born. Whew, I was never so glad to have a baby, considering I was on bed rest for most of my pregnancy. He was well worth it though. Since we are still getting settled and every single person in our house is sick, Brad and I just got a little cake and gave him his gifts. In all the pictures you will notice his mouth is open with his tongue out...it's because he has the croup and the little guy is having trouble breathing. Needless to say, it didn't stop him from enjoying his low key birthday at home. Here he is getting one of his toys...
Here is his dump truck Grace picked out for him...

His ball thingy...

Of course the cell phone that every kid has to have...

His little Carmel cake from Ms Gift...

Blowing out the candle...

And some good ole' cake...

Happy Birthday to one of the most precious gifts God has given to Brad and I. May we have many more to come.
