Alright, I swear I'm going to keep up with this blog. I wanted those pictures at the bottom of this post, but I can't figure out how to get them down there! Next time...

We had Brent, Melissa, Madison and Ashton here with us the weekend before Thanksgiving and after. It was great to get to so much time with them. Carson and Madison are so funny. They play nice one minute and then are hitting each other the next. It's definitely interesting having two 2-year-olds in the same house! We found that we couldn't leave them alone for much longer than a couple minutes. Oh well, kids will be kids!

Tim, Carson and I headed to the Daggett side on Thanksgiving day. We had a wonderful meal and Carson had a great time playing with the toys at Grandma and Grandpa Daggetts. They have a Little People town from around 1980 and it's so cool. I wish they still made toys these days like they did back then. On Thursday night, Carson and I headed back to my mom and dad's in BE and Tim came back up to Eagle Lake. The reason, of course, was so that I could hit the Black Friday sales with my mom. I've decided it's become a tradition for us to go shopping. We got up about 4:30 on Friday morning and headed to WalMart in BE. It was crazy busy, but we both got what we were looking for and then some more!

As Carson approaches his two year mark, we have definitely seen some progress in the past couple weeks. He is saying more words and putting more phrases together. The cutest thing he'll sing is "Now I know my E F Gs" It's so stinkin cute. He also enjoys saying "here you go" when he hands us something and "ok" after just about everything anyone says. Our daycare provider even commented today on how much he sings and says OK (which sounds like ooooo key or oh tay).

My mom, Carson and I decorated the tree on Saturday and Carson helped hang ornaments. His ornaments are all on one branch that almost touches the floor now due to the weight of the ornaments. After the past couple weekends, I feel so fortunate that Carson is so close to his grandparents. He screams with delight when we pull into their driveways and loves being with them. This weekend both sets of grandparents are coming to celebrate his birthday. More posts and pictures to come!
We let Carson open his gifts from Brent and Mel and one was a T-ball set. Tim helped him swing the bat (after strict instruction that he hits ONLY balls with the bat), and here is video of him hitting the ball! If I had pressed the record button one second earlier, you would have seen him hit the ball and smack the camera. He totally beamed me! It was so funny. I was impressed with his ability (I might be a little biased). What a little stud!
