Caught on Camera..

Here are two more video's from Carter's first Christmas. The first is of Carter opening a present in Fairport from his Uncle Tim. The second video was taken in Princeton and shows Jamie and Will on Christmas morning.

Carter's First Christmas

Carter's first Christmas was a big success! After a somewhat harrowing trip to Burlington, Carter was able to see real snow for the first time in his life. We did a little shopping in Burlington, but our Alabama blood did not do well in the Vermont cold.

Carter was thrilled to be able to see Great-Mother on this trip. She invited us to dine with her in the Wake Robin dining room where Cater was once again the star of the show. He did very well through the meal and was delighted to see that many of the items on the menu were just right for him.

We're sure that one highlight for the trip for Carter was getting to see his cousins. Will was a little under the weather, but Jamie was more than happy to show Carter how to play with trains and do other big-boy stuff. It was a lot of fun to watch the three of them together.

We celebrated Christmas with the whole family in Princeton and were glad that Caroline's friend Geoff was able to join us this year. There was snow on the ground so we'll count it as a white Christmas. Carter was a little overwhelmed by the activity, but he enjoyed watching his cousins open their presents.

From Princeton we headed to Fairport for Christmas part two as well as Carter's first birthday. Unfortunately, Bob and Inez were sick and Carter was not able to celebrate his birthday with them. Uncle Tim, Aunt Hannah, Grammie and Grandpa all did their best to spoil Carter and he had a great time in spite of a nasty ear infection. Next year will be even better.
