Easter 2011

Uncle Kevin and Aunt Emily brought their new puppy, Miete, to our Easter celebration. Carmen adores her.

Carmen enjoyed the Easter cupcakes, although she only ate the frosting.

Uncle Kevin and Miete are getting ready for the Easter egg hunt.

The only egg that Carmen couldn't reach. That silly Easter bunny :)

Sheri and Aunt Emily watch as Carmen finds and inspects her eggs.

Merry Christmas 2010

Our group shot minus one very special baby who was still at the hospital.

Grandpa received a nice sweatshirt from Carmen for Christmas.

Carmen helped to pass out the gifts from under the tree and then she'd take a seat to watch as we opened it. She was so excited to see what everyone got.

Gingerbread House

Uncle Darin bought Carmen a gingerbread house kit. We all helped build and decorate the house.

Auntie Kelly took charge of frosting the house while Carmen took charge of sorting the candy, and sneaking a few.

Carmen had a great time building her very first gingerbread house...although she did more eating than building :)

Carving Pumpkins

Carmen got super excited to see what was inside the pumpkin :)

Carmen wasn't allowed to carve anything so we let her poke a piece of pumpkin to keep feeling like she was helping. It worked. :)
