On December 23 we headed down to the Robert's house to have our annual Carter Family Christmas party! We had a lot of fun seeing the family again. We got to help make a Gingerbread house and our very own Gingerbread Man! Vanessa really got creative with her cookie. She had fun squeezing the red frosting into a big pile on it and then added lots and lots of green sprinkles to finish it off! It looked delicious!
Owen's Gingerbread Man. He wasn't too interested in doing it just eating the candy!
The finished product! All of the grandkids got to do a little part of the Gingerbread house. Vanessa helped me do the roof and the snowman. It turned out super cute and such a fun activity!

We got to exchange our gifts at the end of the night. Vanessa got her very own Hello Kitty Notebook. She was so excited! She loves to write on little sheets of paper and now she can practice writing her name!
Owen got his favorite thing in the whole world...play-dough! He immediately wanted to go and play with it!
The gang! Notice Miss Vanessa was already putting to use her notebook!Grandpa and Grandma Carter gave us an awesome present this year! All of us will be going to a cabin in Alpine at the end of June and first of July for a week long get-a-way! We are so excited for the family vacation! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma! We love you!
The adults played a white elephant game. It was hilarious! We ended up getting some interesting items! I got a Christmas/Forth of July tray and Mark got a hair product clock!

Overall it was so much fun being together with the family. It always is! It helped set the mood for Christmas!
