Birthdays!!

This past weekend, we celebrated birthdays for Holly (a week late) and Carter! Carter is just starting to walk so, as you can see on Jeff's videos, it was a memorable celebration! Thanks to everyone who was at the party!

I must clarify that the cake was a #1 cake (for Carter's first birthday) decorated with black "Holstein" spots! Carter loves my cow collection and if you ask him, he will say that the cow goes "MOO"!


Carter on his new trike!

Carter by the chair that was Gamma Hampson's.....now "Carter's Chair"

Celebrating Carter and Holly's Birthday

We were all over at Dad and Mom's this afternoon to celebrate Carter (12/11) and Holly's (12/6) birthday. Lots of Carter pictures below, along with some videos at the bottom (including Carter walking)! More videos available on YouTube

Carter likes cows, so Mom made a cow cake

Kansas Thanksgiving

I got back from my annual Kansas Thanksgiving trip last night....I had a great time! Thanks to "Grandma" and "Grandpa" for putting up with me! I am including just a few pictures from the week.
