What's New With The Carter Family

Sorry it's taken so long to get some Christmas pics up here! It's been a busy holiday season for sure....but I hope you enjoy these Christmas day photos :) Jem and River took turns opening their presents......and let's just say, that even in a year where the kids got less, it took A LONG TIME to open everything up! When Jem opened up this Wii Clone Wars game from Aunt Sarah & Uncle Justin, we knew they'd picked a winner! River lovingly holds on to her Bambi II movie :) A patient Jem watches his cousin open a gift... ...that is proving to be a challenge! Out come the teeth! Even little miss snickerdoodles gets in on the action!

I can hardly believe how much snow we've gotten this week! It all started on Saturday night....and we woke up on Sunday to the pictures you see in the previous post. With below freezing temperatures the snow remained; and then on Wednesday we had more snow fall all day long! Jem has had only ONE day of school this week...Tuesday. Crazy isn't it? Here are some more pictures of our wonderful snowy week :) Nice and snuggly warm in his new coat! Jem got his sled out and was ready to go! Ready, Set..........GO GO GO!!!! Jem and Carson discovered it was much for fun (and faster!) when they travelled down together! The walk back up the snowy hill was long and labored :) Pooped after a lot of sledding and walking back up the hill! Our view from the deck. Look at our house now!

Can you believe that it is snowing already? It's not even officially "Winter"....and already we've had snow! It started yesterday afternoon and I would say we definitely got a few inches worth. We are supposed to have more snow throughout the week which is AWESOME! Not sure about the cold weather though, tonight should get to 19F (which is way below freezing and WAY too frigid if you ask me -- thank goodness I'll be all snug and warm in my bed). Here are some pictures I snapped today (the house picture was from 7am this morning) and the ones of Jem and his buddy Carson playing outside were from a half hour ago! They are having a blast out there........let's just pray that they get to KEEP having fun (more snow, more snow, more snow!) and while we're at it, how about a snow day tomorrow? A sneak attack! Happy Snow Pals :)
