I'm on a boat!

Carter LOVES to use his imagination. It seems as if he is always pretending something. Today he sat on this blanket with Abby and said, "I'm pretending we are on a boat going to New York." He has been wanting to go to New York after watching the Mayc's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

As we were walking back up from the river, Colt saw this line of ants. It went all the way down the hill to their mound. It was amazing how they were walking in a straight line and carrying objects bigger than them back down the hill. Amazing teamwork. Colt and Carter were amazed. It was so cool to stop and see the little things.

Meeting Evie!

My good friends, Angela and Michael came in town with their baby girl Evie for the holidays. I was so excited they were coming because I haven't gotten to meet Evie yet! We had an awesome time though I only got a few shots....and no pictures at our fun dinner at Gloria's!

Hi! Getting both girls to look was a challenge!
JEN_0253_edited-1
We got the girls' pictures with Santa. Evie fell asleep while we were waiting in line and Abby wasn't a fan of Santa, but I thought it made for a cute picture.....I will post the ones we bought soon!

And a cookie as a reward for being good in line!
I love the Angela and I can pick up where we left off even if we don't see each other very often...that's a sign of true friendship!

Bke rider!

Carter has fianlly gotten the hang of riding his bike with training wheels. He got this bike on his second birthday when he was way too young for it. He then got a Spiderman "big wheel" for Christmas and never went back to the other bike. He is fianlly about too big for the Spiderman bike, so we gave the other bike a try and he LOVES it. Such fun and such good exercise.....now to get the training wheels off!
