Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008

Carson enjoyed some time with her cousins, Ally and Caleb, while visiting Mema and Grandaddy over the holidays. We all ate lots of yummy goodies on Christmas Eve and then opened gifts. One of Carson's favorites, a baby doll she can finally put in the bathtub!

This is one of my favorite pictures from all the ones we took!

Christmas in Cameron with my family:

She LOVES her new Fancy Nancy doll that GiGi gave her!

Helping Uncle George open his gift

Packed and ready to go home!

Christmas with my dad:

I apparently had my camera on the wrong setting, sorry for the dark picture!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with lots of family around! Carson did very well with all the traveling and enjoyed spending time with cousins, grandparents, and friends. It was so much fun to watch her and see just how much she has changed since Christmas 2007! On Friday I was able to join some high school friends for dinner/drinks in Columbia - we had a great time reminiscing and catching up! So much that nobody took a picture-oops! It was back to Greenville on Saturday and then more Christmas fun on Tuesday with my dad. Carson enjoyed her visit from "poppy" and had fun with another round of opening gifts. We had a great time visiting with everyone this year and can't wait for Christmas 2009!

Visit from Friends

Lindsay and Garrick -Thank you SO much for coming out of your way to see us. I hate the morning was a bit crazy after having to take Carson to the doctor. We were so excited to see ya'll and briefly catch up - just wish it could have been longer!!! You both look great! Carson is really enjoying the puzzle book you brought and mom/dad were even able to enjoy the wine!
We hope to see you again soon!

Christmas Morning!

Jack even had to check out the Dora and Boots bathtime toy!
New books!

Christmas morning was a blast despite a trip to the pediatrician's office. Remember our Christmas morning came a little early since we were headed out of town. Carson was battling a nasty cold at the end of the week and it ended up moving to her chest. She woke up with a hoarse voice and "barky seal" kind of sound when she was breathing but it didn't stop her from pure excitement as she came downstairs. We made it through Santa gifts and then headed to the doctor (unfortunately we weren't able to see our regular doctor) - she got an OK report and we were told to hang tight and use SMALL amounts of plain Robitussin every 6 hours for the congestion. 9 days later we still have the runny nose but the congestion is gone!

Some of her favorites from Santa: the kitchen, Pooh/Tigger playhouse for the bathtub, 120 piece food set to go with her kitchen (what was Santa thinking?), and a set of Miss Spider books!

Christmas Eve Part 2

Santa sure enjoyed the cookies you made Carson!

What did Santa leave...check next entry to see what's behind the paper!

The finished product...her very 1st kitchen!

Where does this go again???

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve came a little early this year since we were leaving to go to the in-laws and my grandparent's/mom's house. After dinner and bath, Carson helped put out cookies and milk for Santa (but not before sampling the cookies for herself) and then was off to bed, excited and talking about "anta." She even woke up several mornings prior to this saying, "ho ho ho!" Chris and I just died laughing listening to her over the monitor. She looked so adorable in her I love Santa pajamas too!
