We were fortunate to have a great December. Paul and I went to the MOTAB Christmas concert and it was great. That has become our yearly tradition and our one official date of the year. We get all gussied up and eat and a nice restaurant and we don't have to go to a place that serves kids meals. Mom and Dad came down and made the rounds to every ones house. They came to our house on Christmas eve and stayed until December 29th. It is always great having them come and spend a little one on one with the kids. They love having Grandma and Grandpa Berrett come to visit.
This is what happens when Grandpa puts his suitcase on the toy box! The love Buster's little look. I don't think he can take the whole blame, his cousin Grant was running around also, so I think he probably had a little to do with it.
It is usually hard to catch Buster will all of this clothes on, so we were doing good to catch him with half his clothes on. He was excited about his snow shovel and scooter that he got from Santa.
Carter picked out a Buzz Lightyear for Buster for Christmas. Every kids seems to go through a "Toy Story" phase and Buster is smack dab in the middle of it right now. It's ok, that is one of my favorite Disney movies.
I think this might be Carter opening up his first of 20 king size candy bars he ate on Christmas day. Ok, the # might be a little exaggerated, but nobody will really every know how much he ate that day.
First of all, Carter and Caleb are both cursed with my "bloody nose" gene! So, as you can guess from this picture the poor kid got a bloody nose on Christmas morning. So, for us it is normal for him to have toilet paper up his nose, but to everybody else it probably seems weird. Carter did make a haul this year from Santa, among his favorites were his night vision goggles (on his head in the picture), Nintendo DS, snow boots, ski coat and mad libs.
A couple days after Christmas we went to the movies and saw "Marley & me", we absolutely loved the movie. We aren't necessarily dog lovers, but Carter had just read the book and we thought it would be a cute movie to see. We laughed and cried and even sobbed a little. There were some words in the movie that I would have preferred my kids didn't have to hear, but it wasn't anything they haven't heard on TV. It was a good movie that reminds you of the days when you were young and how you loved your dog.

I'm pretty sure Buster was the kid that knocked the suitcase off of the toy box because my kid would never do a thing like that....
love the picture of Buster in underroos and Carter with the wad up his nose. I'm glad you had fun with mom and dad. It was fun for them to stay so long ;) love ya! Tonya
