Thanksgiving and a Wedding Shower

Besides the post of the video, I hadn't posted in awhile. We had a great Thanksgiving. Sissy, Ruppert and Erica came down. Carter loved having them visit. He still says "Roo Tert" when he sees the back gate he fixed at Mom and Dad's. Here's a photo of our Thanksgiving table, minus a few items (and people). For some reason I never got dressed for dinner. I was wearing the same pink tank top I had on while cooking. It was hot that day here.


This past weekend we (and our friends Kelly and Greg, and my parents) hosted a shower for Danny and his fiance, Sarah, at our house. We had a nice time. They make a great couple and we are so happy they are joining us in the married department - they are going to love it. Here's a picture of them opening their gifts. Don't mind the weird chick in turquoise with her mouth open in the background, yeah - that's me, talking as usual.


In preparation for the event the day before, Carter helped Mom and I make some brownies. Here he is sticking his fingers in the batter.


And afterwards, Mom got us some tacos for lunch and Carter was too wiped out to finish his. He actually fell asleep (with his coat on) in his highchair WITH his taco in his hand. Guess he didn't get the memo that you siesta after your mexican food ...




And here is Carter and Grant posing for the camera during the party. Carter is just like I was when I was a kid, you see a camera and you scream "CHEESE"!! Oh, and in the background is Danny taking his gifts off his tree. Mom and Dad made him a kitchen utensil Christmas tree with all kinds of neat gadgets. It was super cute and had all their napkins and dishtowels as the tree skirt. I am wishing I had a picture of it before it was disassembled. Danny loves his "matching mixer tools" aka whisks and his Mr. Stove Hand, aka an oven mitt. Gotta love bachelors, they just don't know their utensils yet :)
