Emory is 5!

Emory had her 5th Birthday on the 1st of December and her party was Saturday the 6th. She had a Heroes of the Bible party. All her friends dressed up like a hero in the Bible and then explained the story of that hero. Emory chose to be Queen Esther but did not do such a great job explaining what Esther did that was so great. All the other girls did a great job and we had a nice time.
As tradition goes in the Carter house, we always go pick out our tree after Emory's Bday party. So, we headed to the tree farm and bought a very fragrant Balsam Fir tree.
It is funny because every time we got get our tree it seems we have a new baby with us. And, in true fashion we have another on the way! This time next year we will have a baby rolling around for Cfristmas! Crazy.
Anyway, we are now preparing for the 2008 Christmas Season. We just pray that we will stay focused on Jesus in this materialistic world!
