Day at the Wildlife Safari

I've had these free passes to the Wildlife Safari for the past two years-so I finally took the kids. We had a fun day driving thru and going to the village to see the animals and playing on the slides. Carson enjoyed seeing the animals in the village. I need to take the kids more often to the Safari-it is a fun way to spend a day together.

Carson's 2nd B-day Party

Carson turned 2 on Jan. 14th, but we had his party on Saturday 17th. Carson now has the hang of opening presents with experience at Christmas. He was so overwhelmed with all the fun toys and then the sugar rush from the cake. He had lots of fun. He was a polite little boy too, by saying thank you for the gifts-it was cute-he actually said it all on his own. Thank you to our family for making it a special day for him. I think he is going to crash soon for his nap!!

Merry Christmas

This year Christmas was celebrated at home. It made it nice having Christmas morning at our house since most of the presents were for Holly and Carson-that way I didn't have to haul anything home. The kids got so much stuff and had a great Christmas thanks to all their family near and far that love them. Of course Santa brought everything they wanted. It was a lot of fun to watch them open presents. Carson wasn't interested in opening presents once he got his Monster jam truck-he spent most of the time pushing that around. Holly had so much fun opening all of her gifts and kept asking for more. I had to keep reminding her that Christmas is about giving. Chris got me a ring-that was a total surprise-a nice one. I surprised him too with the toolbox he's been eyeing for the past two years. We had a great Christmas here in Oregon and it even snowed a little bit while we were opening presents-that was neat. Thank you to all our friends and family and we love you very much. Happy Holidays to you and Happy New Year!

Oh Christmas Tree

We bought a tree and decorated it that night. Holly had so much fun getting out the ornaments and decorating. She started putting all the ornaments in the front of the tree-I had to keep reminding her to put them around the tree. Carson just had fun crawling underneath the tree. Holly took the picture of me and Carson together.
