Cookie Party 2012

Merry Christmas 

It's my favorite time of year! I absolutely love the Carter Family Cookie Party Tradition! It wouldn't be Christmas without the cookie party! So many memories over the past 20 years. Decorating cookies, singing carols, exchanging gifts, and of course sitting on Santa's lap every year and telling him exactly what I want for Christmas! This year was extra special because it's Izzy's first Christmas! Of course I had to get a picture of her with Santa! 

I love how good Izzy does with all the little kids! She loves being the center of attention! She even does good around all of the adorable babies!

Ashley decorated me this cookie! I saw the adorable santa she made on her plate, so I asked her to make me one too! She is so creative! I think my cookies turned out pretty great this year and the little girls helped me make a plate for John too. He was unable to make it this year due to work; working retail during the holidays is rough, but every year he pushes through it! I'm so grateful to have a hard working husband who provides for our family, especially around this time of year. 

 I love these two little boys to pieces! I am going to miss them so much after the holidays, knowing them has truly changed my life for the better ( to quote wicked)!
