Boxing Day

When we woke up Sunday morning, the house was still as white as when we went to bed. It was really nice outside...but luckily we had lots of new toys and Christmas dinner leftovers so we didn't have to go anywhere!We still had a few presents from Aunt B for Carter to open that we didn't get around to yesterday morning. So we decided to open those up and give dad a chance to try out our new camera (Thanks Pops!). Carter proceeded to pick up where he left off yesterday with his present opening technique. Using the mouth is key to success! The hands work okay too.But most important... never give up. Carter made sure to test everything out with his mouth to make sure it wasn't acceptable.Luckily even the boxes got a passing grade.

Carter even got a gift from cousin Felix. He's okay even if he is a Bulldog ;) Carter decided to Thank cousin Felix with a song.

After the morning play session, Carter took a nap which meant mom and dad got to go to work assembling all Carter's new toys.

Dad was MUCH better than mom at this task but he is an Engineer. I'm sure he passed his Children's Toy Assemblage class with flying colors! When Carter woke up, everything was ready to go so he went right to playing. I never knew mail tasted so good.

Carter tried his best to do some crawling as well

but he decided he was a much better sitter.

Though that position left him very susceptible to tickle attacks from dad.

So Carter decided to try and "walk" away with his new walker.

It was a big hit even if it required support from dad.

It was a wonderful morning spending time with the family.
