Fun in Indiana

We drove to Indiana the day after Christmas and made a stop in Indy at Aunt Amy's. The next morning we drove to Warsaw. Here we were greeted by my mom and she was so excited to see Carter.
Can't you see in these pictures how much fun they had. Carter really liked to tease Grandma. He is getting such a personality.
Grammie came on Saturday night to spend some time with us. It was so nice to get to spend some time with her and Carter enjoyed getting a John Deere pillow from Grammie.

Aunt Amy also enjoyed playing games with Carter and playing teacher and aunt with him. She is so good with him.Here is my cousin Allie playing with Carter and his train dominoes.Cuddle time with Auntie Karen. They played and made blanket forts. Sorry Boo and Matt, I did not get a picture of you with Carter.On New Year's Eve day we drove to Shipshewana to visit my college friend, Kelly and her family. The boys just love playing and being together. Carter really liked all of the Amish Buggies and decided that he really wanted a remote control buggy. Only if I could find one.
This picture shows Chip (4 years), Carter (3 years) and Carien (2 years).
The happy John Deere tractor boys.Here are the boys riding an old wooden indoor carousel. They loved it.
Kelly and I posed with me at 32 weeks pregnant and Kelly at 28 weeks pregnant. We are both having girls.

It only snowed on New Year's Eve, but Carter still wanted to make a snowball. Went outside for a little bit and threw snow around. He was all bundled up and had a great time, but it was too cold for him. Here he is posed on the snowmobile sled that my grandpa got me when I was little. Every year I take him outside and pose him on it. This year he thought it was alot of fun, but more snow probably would have helped.

We bought horns to blow on New Year's Eve. Carter had to have the green one because he will tell you that is his favorite color. There was no way that any of us were going to stay up so we made him wait until 8pm and then told him it was time for the horns. He had a great time.
We are now home from Indiana and getting back into the swing of things. Taking down the Christmas decorations is my next priority and then working on getting baby girl stuff and house stuff organized. For those of you that know me well, understand my need to have things are in place.
Also, thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful Christmas cards. It is always so nice to hear what everyone is doing and see the great pictures.

One last picture. Carter loves to dress up so Aunt Amy got him a Dale Jr. costume half price after halloween. He loved it.
