Happy Easter!

From our family to yours, we wish you a very happy Easter and a blessed day. Isn't it so wonderful to know that Christ willingly gave his life on the cross to wash away our sins? What an amazing, undeserved gift for all of us. Let us take the time to remember what this day is about and thank Him for his selfless sacrifice and amazing grace. THANK YOU, JESUS!

Our First Easter Egg Hunt!

Charlotte got her DOC band off on Friday, April 15th - just in time for her very first Easter Egg Hunt! We hosted the event on Saturday afternoon and packed the house full of children of all ages. We even had a special visit from Brady the Easter Bunny!

Family photo!

(**Note: Remember when I said Charlotte got her headband off the day before? Well... I kind of misjudged how big her head was without the big apparatus. Her bow was gigantic! The bigger the bow, the better the mom, right?)



Helping Mama and Lovie get snacks ready for the guests! She is definitely her father's daughter...



With the Easter Bunny! She wasn't scard AT ALL!
(Many, many thanks to Brady for being such a good sport and wearing this costume!)



Charlotte and all of her ECDC friends with the Easter Bunny.
Hopefully, Joey will forgive us for this trauma



Mama had to get a picture too!
(Daddy was busy hiding eggs and Charlotte was over the photo shoot.)

Egg hog!!

We had so much fun and can't wait to continue this tradition as all the babies grow older! It was a busy day full of family, friends, food, and laughter - can't ask for anything better!

Merry Christmas from the Carey's

"And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:10-12

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Christmas Eve Cookie Decorating

Ryan and I were so excited to start a new family tradition this year! We invited family and friends over the morning of Christmas Eve for breakfast in our PJs and decorated cookies for Santa. We ended up staying in our pajamas the entire day - it was GREAT!

Here are some action shots of everyone decorating the cookies. So fun! :)

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Ryan and I were so thankful for a wonderful holiday with our precious little girl. We have had some stressful holiday seasons the past few years, so it was so great to relax, eat, travel a little, and enjoy our sweet baby this Thanksgiving. She was in the most adorable turkey outfit and though I had to fight the ribbon "feathers" (the onesie was a little big), it was totally worth it. We got some cute pictures I will share...

This was taken at our Oklahoma Thanksgiving lunch. I've been so excited to get a four generation girls picture and (aside from my daughter's disinterest in the camera) I LOVE it!!



Our litte family :)



This was the closest we could get to a smile. She's been in the funniest moods with cameras lately and is really in to drooling these days ;)
