Merry Christmas!

We enjoyed a fun Christmas with family!  We started celebrating on Sunday night at Nonnie & Papa's with dinner and presents.

Nonnie took Carter for a ride on her walker!

 Caroline lovin on her Papa

Sweet grandparents with their sweet grandchildren!

We went to church and enjoyed a relaxing pizza dinner with just the four of us on Christmas Eve.  It was fun dressing Caroline up and taking her to church for the first time.  She did great and so did Carter!  He had fun finding the triangles in the hymnals :)  He also decided to sing Buenas Noches during the service when no one else was singing!

LOVE!

looking very pretty in her Christmas dress!

our attempt at a family picture...Caroline wouldn't look at the camera!

 Caroline tried to wait up for Santa, but couldn't stay awake!

It's finally Christmas!  Carter had a great time opening gifts and was very excited to see what Santa brought for him and for Caroline, too!

Carter, Aaron & I made a gingerbread house today!  Carter had a blast!  He did a great job decorating.  He told us he was happy there was a roof on it.....so the birdies don't fly in :)

Thankful

Big giggles & a new trick!

Caroline learned how to blow raspberries the other night!  She is so proud of herself!

What a difference!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

We enjoyed the beautiful December weather and went to see Santa & his reindeer on Saturday!  Caroline slept the whole time, so we didn't wake her to sit on Santa's lap, but Carter did.  He did great!  I wasn't sure whether or not he would sit on his lap without me, but he was so brave and sat there and told Santa he wanted a blower and convertible cars!  

 precious boy waiting patiently in line for our turn!
