Snow Day!

Pa, Ben, Carter and I headed up to the property on Sunday.  We drove through Payson (where they had tons on snow) on our way to Snowflake.  Carter couldn't wait to play in the snow and make snow angels!  We stayed the night in Show Low on Sunday night and headed to Springerville from there.  We spent most of our trip in the truck driving to all the little towns near the property in Snowflake, which ended up being a perfect time for Carter to break in his new Leapster he got for Christmas.  We really enjoyed the scenery and the cute little towns!

Fun in the truck...

Just us...

Merry Christmas!

Carter was sooo excited Christmas morning!  He loved all his presents!

Later on we went over to Mimi and Pa's house to spend Christmas with them!  My Aunt Sharon also joined us yesterday and today...that was so nice to spend the holidays with her...I haven't done that since I was a kid :)

Thanks Mimi and Pa!!!

Our pictures around the Christmas Tree...

Then we had so much fun teaching Carter to ride his bike!

Then before we knew it...he was doing it all on his own!!!

Christmas Eve!

We had such a fun Christmas Eve!  We celebrated the day at our house.  I cooked my first big turkey dinner..it turned out wonderfully!

My first turkey!

It has become a traditon that every year Mimi gives Carter new Christmas Jammies.  He was so excited to open a present on Christmas Eve!

Then later on we threw some reindeer food out for Santa's reindeer!

Carter couldn't wait to show everyone his performance!  He practiced for the past couple of days!

After everyone left we settled in for the night...but not before leaving out some milk and cookies for Santa!

Snug as a bug...now Santa can come!!!
