More Visitors!

My dad and Jan are visiting us right now. They got here last night just after midnight.

We all met Sarah, Brent, and Mary Grace at the UT Gardens for their Eggstravaganza (which was an egg hunt, story time, and some arts and crafts). We also ran into Amy, Chad, and Caitlyn down there.

Here is Carter getting his picture with the Easter bunny. He liked looking at him and pointing at him when we were several feet away, but he got shy once we got to meet him.



They divided the kids up into three age groups for the egg hunt. Carter was in the 3 and under group. I wasn't sure if he would get what to do. Once we found a less crowded area and prompted Carter to pick up an egg, we couldn't stop him! There was a 6 egg limit for his age group so we has to steal eggs out of Carter's basket and put them back on the ground.













Most of the eggs had candy in them and some had tickets for prizes. Carter ended up with 2 free prizes. There was a table with random little toys and I got Carter a couple of bendable bunnies and a plastic bunny in a little car that makes noise.

After walking around the gardens a little more, we went to lunch with Sarah, Brent, and Mary Grace at Mellow Mushroom.

After Carter's afternoon nap, we had Christmas (we haven't seen my dad and Jan since Carter's birthday in November). Carter got some cool new toys.


He really likes this wooden toy set. Simple, classic toys are often the best!




Carter is getting really good at saying "thank you". I prompted him in this short video clip, but he will say it without prompting sometimes.



Carter played outside all afternoon and evening. We had gorgeous weather today - a little cooler than yesterday, mostly sunny, and breezy. We grilled out for dinner tonight and even ate outside. It was a long but fun day!
