Christmas is coming!

Team Edward

Yes I went...

...and yes I loved it!

*Favorites of the night*

The anticipation in the atmosphere

My homemade t-shirt that said "Why am I covered in feathers?" (How many of you actually get that?)

My sister's t-shirt that said "I'd rather be in Forks"

Putting Elmer's glue on my eyelids to get the red glitter to stick (worked great!)

Jacob's hot body...wow! Although still an Edward fan, he should take a few tips from Jacob!

The Stephanie Meyers book costume that won

Staying up till 3am

Sitting in a camping chair in the handicapped section just so I could see it

What a night! Loved everything about it!

(except the nasty chest hair on Edward, I mean really, a little wax would do the trick!)

9 Months!

This big boy is 9 months old already! Most people tell me he is Cooper's twin and I agree that he has some similarities but he is becoming his own little man. A little info on Carter: He's a bit temperamental but mostly happy. He just started crawling but still has no hair. He has many nicknames in the house (i.e. Tarter, Tartsky, Mr. Lumpy, etc) and we just love him to death.

We had a little photoshoot today to capture his 9 month cuteness. It took over 100 shots to get a good one with the hat on but we finally pulled it off.

Then I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and get Coop in there too.

(Really, I couldn't wait to get them both all dressed up in their Christmas outfits :-)

And I saved the best for last. This one is my favorite!

(It really accentuates Carter's lumpiness.)

Who's who?

So my Dad said he found this picture of Carter but he was all dressed up in a dress...amazingly enough, I totally thought it looked like Carter too. So I just couldn't resist doing a little photoshop to get the real affect. What do you think?

These are a few of his Favorite things

This house may be old but it does provide a great bowling alley!

Rockin' out on the piano.

(You'd never guess he was singing I am a child of God :-)

Oh, and don't forget Mr. Lumpy here. This is his new favorite spot.

Right next to the toy chest so he can pull out toy, after toy, after toy. :-)
