Christmas Cheer-Remix

Christmas Magic

We have Survived

We had a very laid back Christmas. We made a trip to the downtown square to look at the lights and ride ponies. We went to church on Christmas Eve and then to a friend's house for a Happy Birthday Jesus party. Then it was home and to bed! Santa was on his way. Of course, Santa needed to do some last minute wrapping! The girls were awakened by a bell and cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate in bed. I guess dad is starting a new, very sugary tradition. Then it was time to get to the fun part. Santa brought the girls a doll house, a vacuum cleaner, a watch, and a microphone. Colby got a little drum. PawPaw and Granny and Uncle Chris and Aunt Mekell were very good to all of us too!
We hope you all had a blessed Christmas and did not forget the BEST gift of all - Jesus Christ and life eternal in Heaven!

Merry Christmas from the Carter's!

Here is a small slideshow that we put together instead of a yearly newsletter, or Christmas family pic postcard. If you'd like the full version which includes little descriptions of the pictures, you can go here: http://carters.slidez.net/2007

Take care!

Emory's Fourth Birthday

Emory Morgan just turned 4 years old... and of course we can't believe it.

She had a party at our house, with lots of her friends there to cheer her on... and eat cake and ice cream late in the afternoon. It might take awhile before parents speak to us again.

Emory really gets into a Disney show called "Little Einsteins", so she wanted to have her party reflect that. Becky dressed her up as her favorite character June, and then made her a really cool cake shaped like the rocket ship that the cartooners fly around in:

After the party, instead of cleaning up, we decided to go grab a bite to eat. There is a video to the right (I think Video2) that shows the restaurant waitresses singing her "Happy Birthday" and giving her a peppermint patty with a candle in it. There were also 4 lollipops.... Emory gave each of us one. It was really sweet!

Here's our clan at the end of the eventful day:

FYI, the videos over there may take a bit to load up, depending on computer and bandwidth speed.... let us know if you have problems seeing them.
