Christmas

We're well, We're organized, and Carter's asleep- so I have a few minutes to update. I don't know how to put my pictures in the right order- so it starts at the bottom. I'll get it right one of these days.! We had a blast in Utah for Christmas and New Years! Here's a little bit of what we did.

And we went sledding at Midway. OK- Carter and I only lasted about 10 minutes. The littles (Carter and Keaton) couldn't do the big hill- and he really didn't want anything to do with the tube, so we headed back and played at the Cabin while Keaton snuck in a few runs on the big hill. They passed him off as a 3 yr old! Way to go Keaters!
What's not to love about that cute face?

I think he lived in this snowsuit for a few days.

After Christmas- we spent some time at the Cabin in Midway. The kids loved playing in the snow- and there was SOOoooo. much of it! It was great!

Carter and Jase opening up his new Cars. I think we all heard "Cars" repeated over and over until we just couldn't stand it anymore. He loves anything with wheels!

Christmas morning- What can I say? It was pure Christmas Chaos- and we loved every second of it! This is Keaton showing Carter how his new motorcycle works. with all the other boys around Carter had plenty of toys to snatch!

After the Nativity presentations from the kids- they all opened up these cute pillows from Grandma Peela or "Eema" as some of them call her. This is Ellie and Carter enjoying their new pillows. He LOVES Ellie! He still talks about her and loves to look at these pics!

Later Carter got to experience the snow in this sweet snowsuit that Paula got from DI. Thank you DI! We had a tough time finding anything for the snow here in Vegas. And while he looks like Ralphie from "A Christmas Story"- it worked perfect and kept his little bod warm.
Started out Christmas Eve by going to the cemetery to visit Jason's Dad, and baby Michael. Always a tearful experience- but one we wouldn't miss.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! It feels like we've been out of town for a long time. Carter made it almost a whole 2 weeks without getting Sick! We made it through colds, and strep, and ear infections and just when we thought we were safe- woke up Sunday morning with throw up in the bed! Yuck!

So we have had a fun filled few days trying to get our little sickie better. We had a blast with our family up in Utah and can't wait to tell you all about it... another time once my house is somewhat put back together and my little buddy is Ok.

Hope everyone's Christmas and New Year was fabulous! We've missed our friends here in Vegas and can't wait to get back to our routine.
