Christmas 2009

This Christmas, Karter's first Christmas, we were VERY busy. We took a trip to see Grandad and Meme and all our Aunts, Uncles and Cousins that hadn't seen K man yet. We did a big family Christmas at the house. When I say big I mean HUGE there were 40 people in one house. It was so much fun. Karter was a little over stimulated and woke up every 2 hours on that trip, but it was worth it. We traveled home only to leave the next day for Kansas for Karter's Great Great Grandma's funeral. She was a very special lady and I'm sad that Karter didn't get to know her the way I did. But she got to love on him for a few short months and that means the world to me.
Christmas morning we celebrated at home with our little family of Three. I LOVED it. This is how it'll be every Christmas. I made homemade cinnamon rolls and we opened our gifts and enjoyed our time together. Did I mention that we had a white Christmas? First white Christmas in years.
That night we braved the icy roads and traveled to Yukon to see Brandon's parents. We had a yummy supper and opened our gifts there. We called it an early night and headed home before dark. The following day we went to my Aunts house where we did Christmas with my family. We had a great supper followed by lots of gifts.
Karter was hugely blessed. He got lots of clothes(much needed), toys and books.
I'd say this was a GREAT 1st Christmas for the big guy. the first time he got on all fours and rocked back and forth
