Christmas 2009

What an awesome Christmas we had this year! Carter is at the age where he really got into it - but, still young enough to take his time with each and every present... which in turn made for very long present opening! After it was all said and done Carter had 4 present opening sessions.

Christmas Eve we of course left cookies & milk for Santa!

Christmas morning before Carter woke up.... errrr... before we woke Carter up! It was almost 9am and the kid was still sleeping. Josh and I were getting a bit impatient.

The drums & guitar were a big hit.... not only for Carter, but for Josh too!!

Of course the highlight of Josh's Christmas was his PS3 - I had him SOOOO fooled. He had NO idea.

On Christmas afternoon Mom came over - Carter awoke from his nap for yet another Christmas tree full of presents!

Enjoying one of Mom's yummy deviled eggs. If you remember from last year - he had us take the devil out of it. He seemed to like the whole thing this year!

When Carter woke up from his nap the day after Christmas there was another load full of gifts under the tree from Mem, Pep & Auntie Mallory.

At this point he had it all figured out......

I'm not quite sure what is in this box - but, Carter seems to like it.

His Hot Wheels Jeep Jeep like Josh's was a HUGE hit.

Sunday evening Josh's parents arrived with MORE presents. I was beginning to think Carter was going to think every day was Christmas!!

Sporting his new WVU hat.... fits perfectly. Granddaddy had to give in and order online!

Enjoying a good story with Granddaddy! Poor Carter ended up with Croup over Christmas. Nana, Granddaddy & Auntie Ramie got the worst of it. He was in rare form because of the steroids they had him on. But.... we all managed!

A true highlight of their visit was racing around the house.....

Of course TONS of pictures were taken... click here to check them all out.
