January already?!

What a wonderful Holiday season we had this year! My favorite part about the holidays is spending time with each of our families. It was especially fantastic this year because little Carter was here to share in all the fun festivities even though he won't remember them...I took LOTS of pictures so he will always know what happened on his first Christmas :) Christmas Eve is a big deal at John's parents' house. They don't even make as big a deal over Christmas DAY! Unfortunately, these pictures are super out of order, but when I get to Christmas Eve at their house, I will explain everything :)Here is Carter all ready for bed on Christmas even in his super cute Christmas jammies. I took a video of him that was really cute and he was talking to me, but he threw up at the end so I'm not posting it lol.

Christmas morning...some of the pants Carter got from Santa :)

My happy boy on Christmas morning :D

There are no blinds in this room and it was SUPER bright that morning. Here is John with the Allen Wrenches I got him. That turd guessed what it was the night before. There is no surprising him, I swear!

My Darren Williams jersey that I've been asking for for the past 2 years ha ha. I finally got it and I was super excited! My sister and her husband got us tickets to the game on the 28th and I just can't wait to wear it! I love the JAZZ!!!

John got me Beauty and the Beast! He and I absolutely LOVE Disney movies. We have a ton already and Carter will love them too when he is older :)

My favorite shirt that I got John. He has a lot of blacks and browns in his wardrobe so I thought I'd add a little color and it turns out he looks smokin' in this color :D ha ha ha!

Can you tell how excited I was for this gift?

John got me the first season of Glee on DVD! I didn't think there was any way I was getting this because my brother in law tried getting it for Crystal and the girl at the store told him he'd have a better chance at winning the lottery than finding a copy in any store! I love JOHN!!!

Again with the brightness...but I got him a jigsaw! He needed a new one because his sister broke his...I only put a few of our Christmas gifts up because there were just SO many pictures to choose from to post!

John and Carter a few days after Christmas. I just LOVE how cute he is with him!

Now onto Christmas Eve at the Allen house. This year, John's sister decided that we all had to make our gifts for the person whose name we drew...NEVER AGAIN!!! That's all I have to say ha ha. This is the gift I made for my niece Brooklyn that shares Carter's birthday. I think they turned out super cute.

And THIS, ladies and gents, is the AMAZING dinosaur that John made for Gabriel. He bought one of those tiny little models that you put together, traced the pieces, blew them up, and cut out the pieces and this is the result! All the other kids were super jealous! I was super jealous lol. I want one! He says if he makes another one, it will be a flying one that he can hang from the ceiling in Carter's room. Cool, right?

Here is my baby riding the dino ;)

Carter was totally into the festivities if you couldn't tell ha ha ha

My sister in law made this tutu for Katelyn and she is freaking adorable and posed like this for me when I told her I was taking a picture! I love her!

The Besties in their Santa suits at my mom's house. Carter is snoozing as usual lol.

This is just a recent picture of Carter. He is already in 3-6 month clothes! What a chunk! I took him to his 2 month check up and he is in the 85th percentile for his weight and the 66th for his height! He is going to be a big boy ha ha. He only cried for about 10 seconds after he got his shots and when we left, the other nurse said, "wait, he got shots didn't he? Wow, he's a trooper." That's right! I think he has a high pain tolerance like John, phew! I think he is just so stinkin' cute and he is so much fun!

Here he is just being a doll before bed one night! He smiles so much now and talks up a storm if you can get him going. John's favorite thing to do is get him talking. He just brings so much joy to our lives and I can't imagine them without him!

I'm sorry, but he is the cutest thing EVER!!! ha ha
