Christmas With Chicago Carter's

Our Christmas must always begin like the following pictures: With Wheatens!!!!! Yes, Heath and Thais and their baby Violet have arrived in Massachusetts for Christmas! After the typical battle between Marty and Violet, they appear to be best friends now, as are Sweetie and Violet. The threesome are enjoying each other as they romp and play and entertain us all.
We enjoyed a prime rib dinner with all of the sides created by myself and Mackensey. It is so nice to have the Chicago Carter's with us to laugh, talk, catch up, share Advent, and (very soon) play games with. More to come.....

Mackensey, Doggies, and SNOW!!!

Yes! It's that time of year when, not only do we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus, we also have the blessing of our children coming home to visit. Our favorite time of the year. Mackensey came home on Friday and a Noreaster moved in on Saturday night. We got 12" and the fun of shoveling our driveway...Mackensey's first experience. She rose to the occasion and we got the job done! We may not appreciate the fluffy, white stuff but our two dogs, Marty and Sweetie, LOVE it!
