SNOW!

 

 

 

We were very blessed to have our very first white Christmas here in Missouri, but it never stopped snowing! I got up this morning to go to my church meetings, and daddy snapped this picture of me as I was getting ready to leave

Nannie is coming!

 

We are so excited, my mother-in-law is coming in 19 days for two whole weeks! We are preparing for her to come, making sure that the cabinets are filled with lots of goodies, but we left her eisel outside, Maree will you be able to work under these conditions! Just kidding, she just loves the snow and I thought it was a fun picture to use as a post that she is coming! We can't wait to see you!

We would like to thank everyone for your wonderful gifts to Carter. I appreciate you thinking of us and him and wish we could have spent Christmas with all of you. Thank you so much.

Carter's CHOO CHOO

 
 
 
 
Carter's loves anything that moves and when it moves on it's own he goes crazy! He got a choo choo for Christmas and just loves it, you can even see in one of the pictures that he is saying daddy choo choo! Too cute!

Daddy Working Hard

 

 

Santa left this box for daddy to put together, which he was thrilled to do! It turned out great!

Ready For Santa!

 

 

 

We took this picture right before Carter went to bed, we plugged in the Christmas tree, listened to Christmas Carols and made cookies for santa. We laid them out put on our new pajamas and of course left out the red gatorade (which daddy had to make a late night Christmas Eve run for!) We wouldn't want Rudolph to get lost in the dark!

Opening our Christmas Eve Gifts

 

 

 

Every year my family would open up one gift on Christmas eve and it is a fun tradition that we have continued in our family, only we make sure that the present that is opened is a pair of pajamas... Carter was so excited that he finally got to open one of the gifts that had been sitting under the tree for so long!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful friends and family. We love you all and wish we could be there to enjoy this beautiful holiday with you. We wish you all the blessings of the holiday season and of the New Year!

Here I am!

 
 
After many requests of friends and family, here is a picture of me that we took tonight. I have lost 38 pounds and feel GREAT! I am loving fitting into things that I couldn't even fit into before I had Carter! I took out my "not yet box" come on ladies we all know what that box is... and some of the clothes were too big! I have just been eating good wholesome foods, lean proteins and veggies... no sugars except for natural sugars like fruits and no starches, no soda either.... I feel so good and feeling very proud of how I am starting to look.
