Pre-Christmas Festivities!!

About 5 years ago Josh, my mom and I started a yearly tradition of making chocolate covered pretzels. We thought it best to do them while Carter napped this year! He was excited to enjoy them when he woke up -- yummy!!

My Mom's boss Bruce... aka Santa decorates his house and dresses up as Santa every year. Last year Carter was terrified of him - luckily, he was much more interested in him this year!

Knuckle bumps for the jolly ol' fella.

Sitting on Santa's lap was not his favorite; but, he did it long enough to tell him all the things he wants this year.... Drums, drum sticks, guitar, garbage truck, garbage man and toy garbage!

I bought him a Christmas music CD and he LOVES to listen to it. When Frosty or Rudolph comes on he plops down in front and listens (and sings).

A few days ago Carter rc'vd a package from Nana & Granddaddy. Enclosed in the package was a very special reindeer that Granddaddy's Grandaddy made for him when he was little. He thought this was a good year to give it to Carter, so he can enjoy it over the years just as he has. Carter and Josh put it together, it now sits in front of the fireplace. Carter loves to say hello to him every morning and evening while turning the Christmas tree lights on & off.


Auntie Chris sends a package of cookies to all of us every year. Carter LOVES them... every night after dinner he gets to pick two from the cookie jar. His favorites are any with sprinkles!!
