Getting ready for Christmas...

I can't believe Christmas is upon us already!  Ok by me - I love this time of year.  We've been starting all our preparations...
 
We took a trip to the Dallas Zoo last weekend for Breakfast with Santa!  It was awesome...we had a great breakfast buffet, we decorated Christmas cookies and we got to see Santa!  It's all Carter could talk about all week...and all morning...and the entire ride there...and as we walked into the zoo...and as we looked for Santa.  And then, we saw Santa.  And of course, Carter was not having it!  Check out the pic...priceless! 


Had to zoom in on his sweet little face...

Had to feed the giraffes...


And see the lions of course!


Check out these Santa pjs I got for Carter.  So cute!
 I was busy wrapping Christmas presents one night, and C decided he needed to help me.  THEN he decided he needed to wrap his own presents.  So he got one of his books from his room, and wrapped it.  At first he said it was for Alex...but then he said it was HIS!  It's still wrapped...I think it's IN his tree...not UNDER it...but IN it.  That's where he thought it went!  Hilarious.




Had to break out Elf!  I think we've got C hooked...

This is Carter's personal Christmas tree in his room...he was so excited to have his own tree!

Emmerson Marie

That's right - baby girl finally has a name!  Emmerson Marie.  No special story on why we picked it...let's just go with the fact that it was one of the only names we both liked ;)  Marie is my middle name though...so at least she gets to share that with Mommy :)
