Sorry it has taken me so long to blog about the holidays. Things have been so busy and now that school has started things are even more busy for me. Not that I am going to school or anything but my Day Care has picked up like crazy! It is so nice to have friends for Carter to play with again. He missed them dearly! Here are some pictures of our holiday fun...
First off, it has snowed a couple of times and Carter loves it!
He also has enjoyed some fun holiday crafts.
He and Morgan are making "Christmas Trees" with candy
We enjoyed a fun Day Care Christmas Party
The kids had a blast opening presents and hanging out with each other :) (Thanks Janae for coming to help and play also!)
Here Carter is enjoying the snow. Yes, we made 4 snowmen and he loved it!
I taught him how to make Snow Angels...though he is not really doing one in this picture. He had fun "Getting Stuck", as he called it, in the snow :)
We also enjoyed seeing Christmas lights with the Clark's.
Spanish Fork puts on a great show and we fully enjoyed it :)
It was snowing as we were driving around which made it even more special!
Oh, and did I tell you that Carter Loves the snow?!?
We went sledding with our friends Art, Naomi and Hyrum and we all had a blast!
This is just before we were sent down the hill backwards...and Carter enjoyed every minute of it!
Carter was so excited to go down the hill with Hyrum...actually this is how we got them to the car.
Now on to Christmas...we enjoyed a fun time at the Smith's for Great food, Family time and of course the Christmas Pageant.
Carter was a shepard...and a handsome one at that ;)
And here are the angels Katie, Jenny & Katelyn :) Thanks Rob & Meggan for putting on a great pageant!
Here Carter is putting out cookies, eggnog and a wish list for Santa on Christmas Eve. This is a tradition we are starting in our family. I have read a couple blogs from friends wondering what traditions are fun to have and this is one we like most. Carter drew pictures of the gifts he would like and had fun helping make cookies for Santa :)
I can't say this was actually on his list but Carter got a "real" guitar from Santa...(all the way from Germany, hehe) and he Loves playing with Daddy :) It's so cute, he plays like August Rush (which is a must see movie by the way)
And here we are back to the snow :) Gordon and I made a slide off our porch and Carter loves it!
Gordon and I like it too...we don't have to make the trek back up the hill everytime :)
Yes I know, this was a long post. Thanks for hanging in there and waiting for me to finally post about the holidays. Hurray for 2009! We hope you all are doing well and will have a great year :)
Love, The Smith's
Then we took him to Burger King where he got his "King" hat and transformed into "King Carter"
Next my Parents and Grandma Dixie came into town and brought Carter this cool 4-wheeler (which he Loves!)
He then got to open family gifts on his actual Birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER!!
Oh, how he Loves presents :)
That night he got a bubble bath...ooh la la
Then on to the next day when he had a Friend Birthday Party!!
We had a "bean bag toss" and "pin the ball on the catcher" games
Wall-E cake...
Made by yours truly (can't beat the experience from working at Baskin-Robbins)
And then, of course, the PRESENTS!!!!
Thank you all so much for the gifts and help you gave! They are both appreciated so much! It was so fun having my family in town for this occasion :) Thanks for coming all this way to visit and celebrate with us!
Carter we Love you so much and hope this year brings you much joy and happiness! Happy 3rd Birthday!!!!!
