Maddie and Eva's Christmas Stockings
One of the traditions that I have passed on from Clyde's mother is making Christmas stockings for the grandchildren. These are felt stockings that are sort of 3-dimensional. Made with Love from Nana to Madeleine Aurora and Eva Primrose.

Christmas With All of the Carters!
Our family Christmas continues at the Annual Christmas caroling in Shrewsbury, Mass. at the city center. Heath, Thais, Mackensey, Clyde and I faced the sub-zero temps. to join in with other families to sing of the celebration of the Christ Child. We drank hot chocolate that was provided and sang the "holy" songs. Afterwards we found ourselves enjoying coffee at Starbucks while we thawed out.
On Christmas evening Ash, Courtney, Maddie and Courtney arrived after a long flight from Tulare, Ca. We had our Christmas Eve that day and our Christmas on the 26th. We read our Christmas story about baby Jesus, made and decorated birthday cake for Jesus, and left cookie, milk and carrots for santa and the reindeer. Santa left goodies in our stockings and we all enjoyed Maddie at two, passing out stockings and presents and of course opening her own. We also had a new snow and were able to build a snowman for Maddie.
On Sunday we enjoyed a day in Boston exploring and sight seeing.
The challenge of getting a picture of our whole family, where all are smiling and looking at the camera with eyes opened, is one that Clyde has accomplished. He was able to get each family and the whole group with a silly picture of us all that is priceless!
