MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We had a good Christmas this year! As you can see Carter was super excited! He kept saying that he was so lucky as he opened his presents. We did learn that next year we need to get more for Bryan and I, even if it is things we already have and wrapping them up, so that Carter sees that he is not the only one getting presents! We are trying to save our money so that we can do more to the house, so we didn't get anything for each other. We also just got two presents for Hailey since she is so little, and we have so many toys from when Carter was a baby. When Carter got to the last gift under the tree he said "I hope this one is for Hailey because she only got two presents". We thought it was very sweet that he thought of her.
Because of the weather we were not able to make it to any of our families Christmas parties. We have to go through Sardine Canyon to get to them, and didn't want to drive in the snow storms. We really missed being around our families and it made us appreciate them that much more.
Daddy got this guitar for Carter so that they can play together. Too bad Carter has already broken a string huh? Maybe he needs to be a little older?


This bear is what Carter got for Hailey. I asked him a few days before Christmas what he would like to get for Hailey. He thought about it for quite awhile. He actually has a little bear exactly the same, but it is a camoflauge bear. Hailey is always trying to grab it from him. So he decided that she needed her very own pink bear. As we were going to the store I was telling Carter that we might not be able to find exactly what he wanted, and that he might have to settle for something else. What are the chances that we walked right to this and found Exactly what he wanted for her! She of course loves it.

I was thinking about you guys when all the storms hit. One bad thing about living up North. But, so beautiful I bet! We did things differently this year and planned on staying home on Christmas day which ended up being a good plan since it was so stormy. It was so nice just staying in jammies and hanging out with the kids. So, let's get together soon!!! Happy new year! :)

Sounds like you guys had a nice Christmas. I was bummed we were not able to see each other while we were in Utah. Hopefully we will see each other in the summer.

Happy New Year!

Hey, chica! Got your card yesterday, thanks so much for the pictures! I was ridiculously excited to see that I was right about the above picture (I'd suspected that was the dinosaur book he was holding). I've already pinned them to my wall at work. Hugs and kisses and Happy New Year to you all!
