All I Want For Christmas...

All I want for Christmas is a few crafty kits...
I want lotsa toys! Hey and check out my belly button, Santa!
I'm serious here, all I want is a remote controlled train...


Conversation with Carter about Santa:

Carter: Mom, why does Santa have a strap on his beard?
Me: Well, Carter, he really isn't Santa, he's Santa's helper because Santa is sooo busy right now he doesn't have time to visit everywhere. So his helper is "helping" but yet needs to look like Santa.
Carter: Mom, where are Santa's boots? He's wearing tennis shoes.
Me: Well, Carter, maybe they were wet, and he's drying them out.
Carter: Or maybe they're over there! (pointing to a wonderful display in this library where Santa is stuck upside down in a chimney made of red books!)
Carter: Mom, can we stay and watch Santa leave? I wonder how he leaves.
Me: I don't think he brought the reindeer this time, Carter.
Carter: Not the reindeer mom, but the sleigh!

Which Boy?

As I was looking back over my Christmas pictures, I ran across one of Casey playing in the Santa hat and realized that I had that same picture, only with Carter instead of Casey, playing in the Santa hat. So, I went digging through my old picture disks until I found it. I did have to wait in between there to get my computer back because I wasn't as diligent as I thought with saving pictures!! Thank God I have everything now!! Their ages are a little different, Carter's pic was taken in December of 2002 and he was born in March 2002. Casey's is this December 2007 and he was born in February 2006. I couldn't believe they even had the same shirt on! Now you can see they are brothers... Do you know which is which?
