Carter made out like an absolute bandit -- after spending the month of December counting down the days until Santa's arrival with Mom on their Advent Calendar and with Dad on their "Countdown Board", Carter actually slept in until about 745/8am on Christmas morning but ran down the stairs and was presented with the following scene ...
... After quickly confirming that Santa and his reindeer had indeed eaten the cookies and carrots, and that Santa had taken some sips from the chocolate milk, we moved directly into the gifts, and as you can imagine, the Hummer served as a key base of operations ...
... Other gifts included a digital camera, a guitar, a bouncer ball, some new trains, a new dinosaur, and, most importantly, some new friends (for those not in the know, we've now got all five Backyardigans (Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, Uniqua, and Austin), Ming Ming from the Wonder Pets, and a Pirate Mickey) ...
... As the good big brother that he is, Carter gave Campbell a life-sized giraffe for her new nursery ...
... Speaking of Campbell, she was all dressed up for the occasion as well ...
... Then, we went over to Stacey's parents house for a bit, where Carter again made out like a bandit (pirate ship, binoculars, pirate sleeping bag, among others) ...
... And where Stacey got another tool in her ever-expanding baking toolkit...
... And Carter got in some fun cuddle time w/ Aunt Kelley and her puppy, Rockne...
... Then, on Saturday, the Lange's came down (up) from Long Island (Richmond) and we celebrated Christmas all over again, with Carter racking up the loot again (Geotrax, wheelbarrow, lawn toys, cash register) ...
All in all, a truly great holiday!
