Christmas 2007

I hope everybody had a VERY Merry Christmas! I know we did. Oh to be 4 again! Now we are home trying to find a "home" for everything. I did convince Carter to let me sell some of his old toys in a garage sale by telling him he could keep the money. Of course I will be saving some toys for Landon but I have to keep in mind that he will be getting his own toys too.
Last Friday we went to the town center in Southlake and attempted to get a picture with Santa. Of course, when we FINALLY got to the front of the line, it was time for Landon to eat and he wanted it NOW!




Before church on Sunday, we got some pictures of the boys in Landon's "My 1st Christmas" outfit. Elinor, our neighbor, gave it to us.
On Christmas Eve, we left for Bullard. Here is Carter in the car, on the way there. Can you tell he is excited?



When we got to Gran and Papa's we made cookies for Santa. Carter ate most of them while decorating.



That night we carried on the tradition by going to the Candelight service at our chuch in Tyler. Then we came home and ate tamales. Carter was a "big boy" and sat with us during the service (it was 2 hours long!). He did so good. Here is a picture of us before leaving for church.
Then it was Christmas!!!!! Here is a video of Christmas morning. For lunch, our family came over for beef tenderloin. It was yummy! I have included some of my favorite photos from that.



After lunch, we were off to Fairview to see Rich's family. Of course, some of us got a little "cat nap".
Once to Grandmother and Granddaddy's, we visited, open presents and then ate delicious prime rib, turkey, and ham. Of course, we can't forget Grandaddy's homemade butternut squash soup! Uncle Jim and his family came over too. We had fun! Carter loves to play with his cousins. Sydney absolutely loves Landon... what little girl wouldn't like a real life baby doll! She wanted to hold him all night and when she wasn't doing that, she was sitting next to him holding his hand. Here are some pictures from the night.
Merry Christmas!
