Before posting about Christmas I have a few other things. This first one is one of Carter's new favorite things to do during nap time when he doesn't want to take a nap. He likes making huge messes in his room. He also likes to open the bottom drawer of his dresser and climbs up to the top. However he doesn't like climbing down so this particular day this is what I discovered when I went to his room in response to his callings for me.
A couple days before Christmas was my birthday. It so happened it also was one of the few nights over the Christmas break that either Lance our I were not working. We went out to eat at a local Italian
restaurant. Carter was so busy and wouldn't stop climbing all over me. He did however enjoy eating the fried green beans (surprisingly delicious) and a large amount of Lance's pasta. Usually he doesn't eat hardly anything at restaurants so this was a nice surprise at least. After dinner we drove up to the South Hills to see the amazing lights at a house up there. We love going up there and try to every year. Carter loved seeing all the lights, especially all the different animal ones.
When we got home rather late Carter helped me open my present before going to bed. It was a nice day spent with my two favorite boys!
Carter loved the Christmas tree and was pretty good with it this year. He liked touching the lights and grabbing the ornaments down low. We kept a good majority of the ornaments on the top part of the tree or left them in the box.
We let Carter open a present the night before Christmas. I had him open his "
choo-
choo" pillow. He absolutely loves it and it's the perfect train for him to take to bed. I love when Christmas falls on Sundays. It seems like such a perfect way to start the day. It was also nice that we were able to get up at a normal time, go to church, and open presents and things are we got home. Pretty sure this will be the last year that Carter won't really get exactly what's going on.
Lance got a new portable light to use outside. He really likes it.
Carter opening his new race track. Lance in the back ground putting together his new light. He was kind of MIA for the rest of the present opening because of this. :)
Even though this picture doesn't look like it, Carter loved opening all his present and seeing his fun new toys.
Carter with all his new things. He wasn't very interested in sitting still for a picture.
We had a very lovely Christmas at home! Lance had to work Christmas Eve, I had to work Christmas Night but it was nice to enjoy a quiet Christmas day at home as a family.
