December 2006

Carter has been very helpful this holiday season making the Cook house very festive. He helped Daddy load the fireplace with wood when we had our first lighting of the season. He also enjoyed helping outside with the Christmas lights on an unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon. Carter was very excited to get our live Christmas tree last week. He helped to pick it out from numerous trees on the lot. When Daddy brought it in, he reminded us "Ooh, cold" as he touched the branches. He did not have much of an interest in putting up ornaments, he does however looooove to take them off and bring them to Mommy! He enjoys pressing the button to light up the tree every evening when we get home from school. The next few weeks will be filled with tradition and new adventures. We are practicing sitting on Santa's lap by exposing him to Santa pictures and walk-bys at the mall. Hopefully it won't be as tramatic as the Easter bunny! Our love to all for a warm and wonderful holiday season!
