Today Aunt Sue came for a visit...she brought Carter in a really nice Christmas present....which he got early. He got a little vacuum. He has been pushing it around the house everywhere making the noise of the vacuum. It's really cute.

We had a busy weekend. Ryan got most of his Christmas shopping done and we managed to get all of Jon, Lauren's and baby Max to be package done up to get out in the mail. Carter decided that he was going to decorate the box and put his touch on it. Hopefully it'll get there by early next week.

Carter goes to see Santa!!

Carter did not enjoy his trip to see Santa.

When I tried to put him on Santa's knee

he started to cry.

We did manage to get this photo taken...

It's not too bad....

Santa managed to bait him up

with a pack of Smarties...

Ryan and I are off for the US Thanksgiving

we are hoping to get some shopping done

for xmas.

Stay tuned for more updates on how our long weekend goes.....
