The joys of wrapping presents with a 1 year old

Oh what a day! Carter's 1st b-day party!!!

So much work in for one amazing day. I hope he remembers it! Ha! We had quite the event yesterday. Carter bug is a pretty popular little man, he had quite the turnout, despite a few sick friends who couldn't make it. He was awake and happy for the entire thing (not that he is ever grumpy or fussy any other time). I was a little bit nervous that he may have been overwhelmed by all of the people but he was a trooper. We are so blessed to have such generous loving people in our lives, I was so happy to spend the day with family and friends.

We are off to go get Santa pictures today, so enjoy the pics and we will give more details about the party later. Thanks again for everyones help, love and gifts. Love you all!

December 2- Happy Birthday Carter Nicholas!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby boy! I don't remember what life was like before you. You an amazing little man, who has taught me so much about life in such a short amount of time. I love you with all of my heart!

Oh Christmas tree!

This year was our first real tree. I have always put up an artificial one because it was so easy. Now with Carter, I wanted him to smell and feel what a real life tree was like. Umm, hello new business to go into, selling trees. I was like what, you want how much? Trees are beautiful and all but $50, it is going to die at some point, come on! But I love it, and so does Carter, he just sits and stares at the lights. Christmas is just around the corner!
