Squeaky Clean

Joining in the Reindeer Games

Our recent Thanksgiving travels took us to a reindeer ranch in Illinois. It was a fun place with an outside play area, gift shop, a Christmas tree farm, and real reindeer you could pet and feed. He absolutely loved feeding the reindeer. He kept trying to get more treats out of the bucket so he could keep feeding them. He didn't even try to sample the treats for once!

Carter loved the reindeer rocker.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween festivities spanned two days at our house this year. The festivities kicked off Thursday with Carter's Halloween party at daycare (hence the painted face) and with pumpkin carving with Daddy. This year's pumpkin was Elmo.


Day two of the festivities was actually on Halloween and involved trick or treating as Squirt from Finding Nemo.

Carter is really good with pointing to his head, belly, ear, mouth and nose. He's been able to point to those body parts for a couple of months now. Here he is showing off some of his skills.

Being Cute

So Carter's turned into quite the little talker lately and one of his favorite words is Elmo. He usually starts off calling him Elmo, then he becomes Momo and then finally he's just plain Mo. Please excuse the messy face. We'd just finished eating dinner!

Family Fun Day

Last week Mason was out of town for work so from Wednesday until Sunday morning we were daddyless in the Tudor household. Carter and I decided that we should celebrate Daddy coming home, so Sunday was officially Tudor Family Fun Day. Our family fun itinerary consisted of the following:

Breakfast 9:00
Church 10:30-11:30
Lunch 1:00 PM at Patti's (yummo!)
Family Photos
The Jungle Run at Maggie's Jungle Golf
Snow Cones!

We had a busy fun-filled day and everyone had a great time. Below is a pictoral timeline of our family fun.
