Carter's First Christmas

This Christmas was extra special for us. Even though Carter could not open her own gifts, she was awake to view them all. Our family and friends were very sweet - we loved everything! Every day is something new with Carter and we love every minute of it. Her Pop and Marmi came to visit on Christmas Day. This was the first time they had seen her since she left the hospital. It was a special time. Also, Dede came to visit over New Year's. Barrett and I went out to eat with friends. This was our first big evening out with others since Carter's arrival. Of course, I admit I was one of those crazy mothers who constantly thought about their child - I only called once!

Carter was our sweet Christmas package.

She steals all my kisses.


We had lunch over at Hellen's house.
