Christmas Prep 101--by Carter

Playing at the Park

Alicia:  "My hands are dirty."
Carter: "Dirt!!"
(Mom: Actually it's wood chips)

Carter: "My turn!"
Alicia: "When pigs fly. Ha ha ha!"

This looks fast.  I like it!

Childrens Museum

"The other end has fire.  This end should be safe."

Carter loved pushing this around

Carter loves grocery shopping but mom and dad usually steer for him.

"Mom, can you give me a hand.  wah wah wah :)

Carter loved the ball room.  Here he is watching the ball roll down the track.

Carter likes this squishy floor.

This gives a whole new meaning to "Lead foot."

Vrooom!

The day before the museum had brought in some snow for a snow day.  There was still a little left.  However,  the moment Carter set foot on it he slipped and fell on his face.  He's not a big fan.

Sand table

Getting Ready for Christmas!

"Does Santa get reception in the North Pole?

New favorite song.  (His favorite verse is stomp your feet)

Watching Charlie Brown

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!

I want this....

And this.....

Oh, don't forget this too.....

This would be fun.....

You have to get me this......

I cannot live without this.....

Let's just make this easy.  Everything three feet off the ground and lower is what I want.

Dad:  "How about this?"
Carter: "I don't want that."

Scary Santa and Christmas Lights

"This guy is coming to my house?!"

Getting ready to cook with Dad

Half ready for Church....All ready to Rock!

Scripture study:
"And not a hair of their head shall be lost."
Carter:  "Did you hear that Dad?"

Super baby!  (Don't tell him Dad's helping).

What can we say besides "Cute!"

Dirt!
Mom:  "I just gave you a bath!"

Glendale Glitters

First time wearing mittens (probably not cold enough to be necessary, but so cute!).  He had a hard time picking up his sippy cup at first.

The nice thing about mittens is Carter can't pull Daddy's hair.
(Mom:  What hair?  Bwahahaha!)

O Christmas Tree

Carter dancing to the band

Peek-a-boo!

Even though we weren't cold, we still had to have hot chocolate.

Sunroof in December...take that Utah!

This weekend we decided to enjoy the good weather by taking a trip to the zoo and to see the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple.

Time to open the sun roof.  Oh yeah!
Not bad for mid December.

Carter loved feeling the wind blow on him.

But when we got on the free way it got a little crazy.

Monkeys at the zoo.  No, not us....next picture.

Run!!!

Learning to play leap frog

Those are nice trees.

"Look Mommy, an Emu."

"No, right there!"

Secret tunnels!

Bug was enjoying a nice ride on her daddy's shoulders. I believe she is wearing her third outfit of the trip by this point. :)

"No! You're going the wrong way!"

Peakaboo

"If you come over here, I'll share my graham crackers!"

Carter loves anything that he can drive.  He is all boy.

Driving the tractor

"Daddy, that was fun, but I'm very tired."

Lights at the Mesa temple.

Carter was having fun jumping off of the flower beds with daddy.  That was the only way we could get him to smile for a picture after the long day.

Busted!
