Abigail Elizabeth...

I love this picture.  So I thought I'd post it for everyone to see.

Abby's 1st Birthday!

Our Abby turned "1" on Saturday the 18th. It's hard to believe she's already 1.  We had the party at our house.  It was a beautiful day.  After presents and cake, the kids played outside.  Thank you to everyone who could attend and make her day a special one.

Abby loves her new slide!

~Abby's own little cake~

This is probably the only b-day Carter will be able to help with presents.

Carter's Big 3rd B-day Party!

This year we were able to have Carter's birthday party at the Church house.  As you can see, it was just the right size for all the kids.  The theme this year was Disney "Cars."  We celebrated with Pizza, cake, and ice cream.  The kids had a blast!  Thank you to all of you who were able to be there and make it a memorable day for Carter.

Birthday Boy!

For Carter's 3rd B-day, we took him to Great Lakes Crossing.  He loved beating Mommy at Air Hockey and riding the airplanes too.  For dinner we all went to the Rainforest Cafe.  Despite the thunder storms that occurred every 15 minutes, Carter thought it was pretty cool.  

Our Big Boy Turns 3...

Here are a few pictures from Carter's big birthday "week."  We celebrated with Lee's parents on Sunday because Grandma was leaving for Florida.  This was Carter's first "dinosaur" cake.  He and Alexis had a great time playing with bubbles, new toys, and eating "frosting."  Carter could do without the actual cake.  He loves the frosting.  

Merry Christmas 2008

I thought I'd share our Christmas card photo. Don't let this fool you; this was one of about 30 or more shots. Patience is the key here. Carter is going to be 3 in February; and Abby is 8 months now. Time is flying by too fast. Carter still loves everything "Cars" while Abby is crawling and starting to pull up onto furniture. I'm going to have to get the gate back out! Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

This was Christmas Day at Grandma & Papa Jeffery's. As you can see Abby had quite an eventful day. Carter was introduced to Penny (Marty & Roxy's new puppy). For quite a while, Penny had Carter's full attention whether she wanted it or not. Thank you Roxy for your patience! There was quite a full house, as well as full stomachs, by the end of the night. The kids were overly excited and had a great day. Carter & Bella had a few "moments"; but overall, the day went as smooth as possible consideing there were five children under the age of 4 all under the same roof.
