Christmas Pictures

I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to.  Hosting 25 people on Christmas Eve didn't allow me much time to do so.  We had a wonderful Christmas with family....hope you and yours did also!

Carlee's first pony tail.  She actually let Aunt Angie put one in.  :-)

One Week 'Til Christmas

I just wanted to catch up before Christmas because I'm sure I'll have a ton of pictures for you then.

Becky, Carlee, Rhonda & Larry
Out celebrating with Rhonda!

Carter and his first bulls eye.  The boy has wonderful aim for his age!

Now Grandma has more time for Beer Ball with the kids.....lol
At the Sports Page in Medford.

Kids having a blast!

and after pizza, we got to bowl a game.  here's carter waiting for his ball to be returned.

Carter hoping to get them all down.

Carlee getting ready to bowl her very first ball.

She was pointing, saying, "You get down there, ball!".  So funny...it only took a full 20 seconds to get down there.

Rhonda giving Larry a hug after she won the pool game.

Carlee and I going for a ride.

The cutest super heroes I've ever seen!

Batman

Super Woman

Not sure who he is here.....he turned the mask around and colored the other side.
But still, so darn cute!
Hope everyone is ready for Christmas!  I wish we'd get some more snow, but also hoping for safe traveling as I have many people coming over Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas everyone!!  <3

Christmas Will Soon Be Here....

Here are just a few pictures of us going to get our Christmas tree.....

I love this one...
Carter, Jay and Carlee walking along looking for the perfect Christmas tree.

Standing in front of our tree, before we chop it down.

Carter helping Daddy chop the tree down.  (He wants to do such big boy things, but it FREAKS me out!)


Carlee watching as the boys are sawin' the tree down.

By request I asked Jay not to drag it.  Jay rolled his eyes and my boy exclaims, "I can carry it, Ma!"  Can he be any sweeter? 

And of course, Carlee wanted to help too.
In this picture, she has the very tip of the tree.....lol
It's the thought that counts!

Getting ready to bring it home.  We should have taken the truck, but no one wanted to move Carlee's car seat.  I'm sure there are some of you that can relate to that.

Carter's annual "putting the tree topper on".

This one turned out blurry, but it shows both of the kids trimming the tree.

Oh, Christmas Tree!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you watch the video below, go to the very bottom of the page and pause the music.

This is Carter and his kindergarten 
friends singing the songs, 
"Mittens and Gloves" and "My Red Sled".


Watch this clip of Carlee's version of "Jingle Bell Rock".

Carlee enjoying some time in the snow.

She wanted to stand on the bathroom
counter so she could look at her butt.
There's not that much to look at....too funny!

Carlee & Daddy

This one was so cute....I already had it blown up.


Enjoy time with family and friends this Christmas season!
