The Carter Family: Christmas Has Come.....And Gone......

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted here, my apologies! It has been a busy month. But I guess which months aren't busy these days? We celebrated my birthday earlier in the month, and then went to Florida for the week of Christmas to celebrate with the Eschens and the Grimes Family. I'll make up for lost time by including A LOT of pictures!

Decorating our tree here in Atlanta. Harrison enjoyed helping, and didn't even break anything! He was very careful.

Gracie decided to take a snooze in the middle of the Elvis ornaments.

Avery seeing the tree for the first time.

Harrison loves the choo choo at the bottom of the tree!

We went to Jason's company Christmas party and when we were leaving a REAL choo choo was going by the parking deck. He took Harrison down there to check it out, but he was not too thrilled with how loud a real choo choo is!

Helping decorate Christmas cookies, Heath Ledger/Joker style.

Christmas in Florida! Here's Avery playing with Baby Owen.

We went to the Christmas Eve service where my dad was playing one of the three kings in the live nativity. Harrison wasn't too sure what to think about his getup.

Tearing presents open! It was so fun this year that Harrison kind of understood about Santa, etc. He was also very sweet, wishing baby Jesus a Happy Birthday!

Look what Santa brought me!

This was hilarious.....there was wrapping paper and bows everywhere, and Avery rolled over and one stuck right on her foreheand without any help. We all laughed SO hard that guess who needed to get in on the action......

......that's right, Harrison couldn't let her have all the laughs!

Helping Mandy wash the dishes, it is his new favorite chore. I wonder how many years that will last??

The weather was SO gorgeous in Florida, low to mid 80s all week and sunny. We spent a lot of time playing outside and having picnics on the front lawn.
