Finally Christmas & Snow...

So I really have been needing to post and was waiting to
get Christmas photos from my parents computer
but I keep forgetting so here is Christmas
and the biggest snowfall I've ever seen!

A family photo...

I love the Christmas tree and never
want to take it down!

Carter is loving his hands- he's sucking them
playing with them and it's
so cute!

Carter and I went out for a snow suit
photo shoot...

He was so jolly at first!

He rode his sled around

Can you say Christmas story?

This face told me we were done with the snow!

He finally got to meet Ryan and Janny!!!
We are so thankful they came back to us from Korea!

We headed to Coeur d' Alen for our annual
picture in the big sled!

I was stoked...

Carter was focused...

Nick was... well Nick!

Then we went to walk the boardwalk to see
the lights- like the Ark...

But look the boardwalk was a snow covered narrow pathway
and we carried the stroller the whole way...

My cute little Christmas morning snuggly baby!

Later he put on his other cute reindeer suit!

Look at this cute, perfect tushy!

All ready for bed on Christmas Eve!

Playing with daddy on Christmas day!

Helping Grandma open her presents!

He was so happy all day!

Here was our big snow! You can hardly
see the house!

Molly seemed so lost!

We got a crazy amount of snow
in 24 hours- 20 inches!

Let's re- visit Thanksgving... & next time I'll post Chirstmas

We headed to Lynden for Thanksgiving and
had a great time, hanging out with the family,
eating and showering!

A family photo where we are all smiling with eyes open...
I wish I knew a photographer, so we could
have more of these!

We stayed with Lance, Jessica and Colby- Carter's 2nd
cousin who was born at the end of October!

The boys in their twin outfits.... strange enough
Carter looks huge!

Then we passed Carter around and followed with a camera...

To cousin Tessa

...then to cousin Caitlin

...then to Grandpa

... of course to Grandma

... to cousin Loren and

his wife Teresa & they are having a girl in April!

Carter was so tired he went to sleep
on Grandpa's pillow... he's ready to be a Honcoop

he continued to sleep all the next day!

Then there was the showering...

we had a joint baby shower for the boys & got
John Deere sweatshirts!

napping runs in the family, they both snoozed
while we opened gifts!

so spoiled!

These cute bags had diapers on them and said
"for your stinker!"

A reindeer & Christmas trees

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer
and Vixen, Carter and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen...

Great Grandma got him this moose or reindeer suit- since it's Christmas
I'm calling it a reindeer suit!

Look a Zoolander-ish reindeer!

Just relaxing and blowing bubbles- it's not
easy pulling Santa's sleigh

Head to toe!

Then we got our Christmas tree...

Nick sawing it down...

Our friends Joe & Elizabeth
and Melissa and Brandon were there too!

Carter and I tried....

Check out that saw!

Carter the reindeer finally woke up!

Getting sleepy on the ride home

Melissa and I with Cocoa- so delish!
