Big Boy Room

As you know from our Christmas Letter, Carson's been in his big boy room for a few months now. The transition went as planned and he's now all settled and on a great schedule. It was only this last month when I finally got the last things put on the walls, which is why it's taken so long for me to get this blog out there. Enjoy the photos!

Grampie did a great job painting Carson's room. It was all white before and now it's a khaki and blue color, which my sister picked out. Looks great all finished!

Carson so excited about Grampie painting his room...

"I'm not touching anything!"

Carson helping Mom get all the shoes moved from the baby room to the big boy room. He was quite the little helper in organizing...he definitely gets this from his Dad! He also helped move all his clothes and picked out which drawers they would go in.

And the final touches are complete...

Next up...Savannah's room! I'm hoping to have that done within the next week.

Christmas 2009 (abbreviated)

Merry Christmas everyone! It's hard to believe another year has passed. We had quite a few get-togethers and too many pictures for me to know what to do with, so I just picked a few to highlight the season. We hope your holidays were as wonderful as ours!

Carson & Grammie at the Sosinski brunch

Grammie playing the accordian at the kids request :) I will admit it was fun hearing the kids sing Jingle Bells with her...

Carson testing out Santa's cookies the night before...they passed!

And a few from Christmas morning. Carson was so excited! He asked for Trucks and trains and that's exactly what he got. We first opened all of his presents from Santa and then out of nowhere Santa Claus called the house for Carson! It was a very special treat for the little guy...Santa had to call and tell him there was one more present for him but it was up in his room. Carson was pretty quiet on the phone but took it all in and headed upstairs to find a big train track and accessories. I haven't gotten pictures of it yet but will in the coming days...

Although the trucks and trains are great...the Mints were one of the biggest hits of the day. All day, "Mommy, can I have some minteds?"

Playing with the little bugs from Oma...those things are tough to catch!

I didn't get too many photos from Christmas night but it was very laid back and exciting. The kids got lots of presents from Grammie and Grandpa and enjoyed a nice dinner together. Good times all around!

Carson & Amelia being silly

...and that should do it for this year. This is Carson's last Christmas as an only child. Hard to believe that Savannah will be 11 months old this time next year. We are looking forward to it!

Christmas Decorations '09

Happy Halloween!

Here are pictures from our Halloween! Carson was a Soccer player and got to wear his favorite color Orange. We started off the evening at Grammie and Grandpa's house where we got ready and hit up a few houses. It was still light outside so we didn't get a ton of people to answer but it was a great warm-up for our neighborhood. Once we got our feet wet, we headed home where we hit up about 10 homes. We then came home and handed out candy to the other kids...I think this may have been the highlight for Carson but the candy was a very close second...too bad he won't see most of that candy he collected :)

Pumpkin Seeds

Carvin out the pumpkin seeds...Yummy!

Team Hustle Pumpkin Patch

Carson went on his first field trip this last week. He got to ride on a bus with his friends out to the pumpkin patch. Mom got to ride with him and Dad followed in the car. I can't believe how grown up he is getting!

Checking out all the pumpkins with Dad
Focused on looking at the potatoes...they had yellow, red, and purple ones

Lots of potatoes!
