Waiting for an ornament.
Austin put every ornament he got in the same place.
Compare this picture to the one above. In the end I think I counted 18 ornaments on that one branch.I didn't get any pictures of the finished product but just picture a tree with decorations only on the bottom third and one branch holding 18 little glass ornaments. That's what our tree looked like.
December also brought some snow for us to play in. It was so nice to not have to get them dressed up, haul them down the 10 floors, through the building lobby, across a busy street to play in a park where people bring their dogs to poop. All I had to do was bundle them up and send them out the door. They loved having snow shovels. Carter had been asking for one ever since he saw one at our old church building and when he saw snow on our deck he sated, "Now we have to get a snow shovel!"
See their little snowman?
Carter and "his" shovel.
There was one day before Christmas that I asked Carter to go up and get dressed. This is what he came down wearing....
Austin got this cool fire truck bed for Christmas. We left it in the front room for three days so they could play in it. They love it.
You may be expecting something about New Years.... Don't. We were all in bed before midnight. zzzzz

His argyle shirt, swim trunks and black Sunday socks. Nice!!
** Christmas Morning**
Christmas was great!! This is the first year Carter really understood the concept of Santa Clause coming and leaving gifts. It was so much fun to watch him anticipate Christmas Eve and see his excitement when his question, "Did Santa come?" was finally answered, "Yes!". Christmas was pretty relaxing and low key for us. We spent it at home just the four of us. As much as we miss our families it's nice to spend the day in our pajamas playing with our toys. I didn't get many pictures, mostly video, but here's what I got.....
