We had a fantastic Christmas with a few ups & downs along the way. Right after I posted the last blog about Carter having a fever on the 23rd, Amy called from SS saying he was really fussy & still had a fever. Justin took him to the doctor that afternoon & he supposedly had a viral infection & we just had to wait it out. By Christmas morning though he was fever free & was pretty much back to normal. Santa was very good to him & he had a number of present opening sessions on Christmas & the next day. We had our mothers & my brother over to our house on Christmas day, went to my Dads that night & then had all of Justin's fam over to our house the next day. It was all very eventful with the cousins there on Sat...we loved having everyone over! Poor Justin started feeling crumy in the middle of the day though & had a temperature of 102 by that night. He went to the doctor on Sunday & they sent him home with a ton of meds & said he just had allergy drainage which I just don't think that is all it is b/c of the fever but his bloodwork came back fine so who knows. I'm thinking he picked up the viral infection from Carter man. He got a cortisone shot & is feeling better today. As of Sat. night we were thinking we weren't heading to Tampa on Tues. for the Outback bowl on New Years but I think we are still planning on going. Carter will stay here with the grandparents. We will head down Tues. night & stay until Sat. I think there are about 10 of us going so it should be fun! It is pretty much the same group we went with to New Orleans back in Oct. for the terrible LSU game. Hopefully Auburn can pull out a win at the bowl game!!
The goodies I baked to take to Carters' teachers & mine & Justin's work...
We had so much fun playing Santa for the first time. We didn't go overboard since we knew he was getting tons from grandparents & such plus he has a birthday coming up in a few months.

Hadley & Carter opened gifts separately due to different nap times...here she is opening her new vacuum cleaner!
Carter loves his new ride on/push toy & of course his gripe water to get rid of those terrible hiccups!
