Christmas in Illinois

We arrived Christmas Eve and began opening presents almost immediately. This is Carter with his cousin Maggie, playing with his cool toy from Aunt Tara (who was my Santa this year. She made sure Carter got some very cool age appropriate toys this year - thanks again Tara!)

Oh the madness. And with three little ones in the house, it never stopped.

Carter with his Uncle Chris.

Plenty of video coverage here.

Christmas in San Antonio

just being cute

on his new ride from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chris

a little help unwrapping from cousin Conner

I love this, he is VERY interested in the little people school house from Nana Carol and Big Tom.

Playground at the restaurant, oh boy did he love this

I can run down the hill

I can go on the playground myself

I would really like to throw the football with these guys

I wonder if they will let me play

Carter and Cole, playing on the slide. They loved this! It was so much fun to watch them together.

It got kind of chilly for the first time this year so we had to dig out some pants. Here he is, trying not to step on the pant legs. My poor little short legged boy with a big belly. sigh, i love it!

He was being incredibly sweet and loving Mommy here. Had to capture the moment. Thanks Aunt T.

Aunt Theresa is always telling me to take a pictuer of his curls (duck tail). Here it is after I styled it a little.

Holloween Sneak Preview

Here he is, in full dragon gear.

Needless to say, he did not like it at first.

Ahh, Carter and Maggie, Holloween last year. Maggie and Paige need to come visit soon!

While Mommy is at Work

This is Brian's way of trying to get me to come home from work on a Saturday. Sending me cute pics of what the boys are doing at home. NO FAIR!
