Cutest Cookies Ever

Yep, I said it! These are probably the cutest cookies I've ever seen...AND I MADE THEM :)


Job well done



I made them for a baby shower. If you're interested-let me know. I'll be more than happy to make some more :)

You can't tell because of his Buddha Belly but his tee shirt says Future Quarterback :)

Fifth 2010 Christmas Celebration

This year my Dad and Kim drove in to town to visit. They were troopers and drove on Christmas day and got in around 8pm Saturday night. Everyone had such a long day so we decided to wait until Sunday to celebrate.

Matching hats :) Although Benjamins looks a little snug



Poor Maddie!

Fourth 2010 Christmas Celebration

Christmas evening we drove out to Grandma Carters and then Grandma Schulte's. It was definitely a busy day!

Third 2010 Christmas Celebration

Christmas morning we headed over to my Grandma's for brunch. Benjamin was super excited about his santa pants and reindeer hat :)

Second 2010 Christmas Celebration

Christmas Eve at Mike and Katie's.


Benjamin was very excited about his first snow. Well...not really-but I was excited for him

Benjamin was feeling very patriotic tonight :)

Only 5 More days until Christmas!!!

Can't Wait!!!!

First 2010 Christmas Celebration

Tonight was the first out of five Christmas get togethers of the year that we'll be a part of. Davids Brother Brian and his wife Emma were nice enough to host it tonight. We had Mexican for dinner (which I absolutely LOVED) and tons of presents and good times.

I must say I think we're a good looking family :)


Best Present of all!!! (I know-I'm cheesy)


It was all just too much excitement for the little guy :)

Only 5 more days until more Christmas Fun!

14 Weeks

I know it's been a while since I've posted but it's been a crazy 3 months! It has definitely taken some time to adjust to parenthood. But I never dreamed I'd love it as much as I do! I couldn't ask for a better baby. Last night we heard him laugh for the very first time and it almost brought tears to my eyes.

Tree Farm

We've kind of turned the Tree Farm in Hermann MO a Carter tradition. We've gone the first weekend after Thanksgiving for about the last 5 years now.
This year was special because we were able to share it with our little guy :) It was pretty cold so we had to keep him bundled up but we managed to slip a few pictures in.
