The Carter's

 we are so grateful for all the babysitters we have had over the years. really. i don't know how we would survive without all they do. they love these kiddos. they treat them as they would their own. we are so thankful and lucky. paige had her last day this month and we will miss her so much!
blake will still be with us next semester.  she came the other night to babysit and brought lots of Christmas goodies, including a signed ryan mallott football for mccoy! jason was so excited about that!!!!!! :)
thank you blake!!! :)

 the kiddos have been busy...painting...lots of "grass, fireworks, raindrops, and handprints."
we have been really lucky the past few weekends and have gotten to have successful dinners out with the kids. this is huge for us. it has been a long time since we have gotten to do that! (pretty much since mccoy was a newborn and would sleep in his carrier) it has been mexican or the club each time but jason and i feel so good about this! liza has been loving it. she begs to go out to eat and eat mesican.

we had the FCC brunch with santa today.
They had everything and the kids were in heaven! there were donkeys, pigs, ponies and buggy rides. arts and crafts, cookie decorating ..etc..

 Liza with her buddy lucas from school eatin cookies!

 hudson couldn't look at the camera

 while we waited in line for santa, mccoy fell asleep. we pulled a weekend at bernie's and plopped him right up on santa's lap. he just slept right on through!
