Kiddie Kollege Party, Christmas Caroling, & and other Christmas Events

My mom made Kaitlyn and Aubrie coats like this. I had one similar when I was a little girl. I just thought this picture was so sweet. We were on our way out the door for church - no way would she still let me get her all dressed up for a photo shoot! Gone are the days that mom was in control! HA!
My aunt bought Emma this hat that said "Baby's 1st Christmas". I think it was more for a very small newborn - don't you???? We took a picture of it anyway since I couldn't find the one that Aubrie wore at 6 months.
This is just a cute picture taken on Christmas morning. I love the expression on her face. She is getting so big and making sounds and laughing a lot. She will be 4 months tomorrow!
This picture was taken at the Kiddie Kollege Christmas Parties. Emma seems to be enjoying herself, while Anna Claire isn't quite sure! These two are going to be a couple of heartbreakers, I can tell!
So many people say that all 3 of the girls look just like their daddy, but honestly you have to admit that this picture really shows how Aubrie favors me. Our personalities are almost identical - which I think is cute now! But I'm not sure it will be in about 10 years though.
Thrilled about her class party!

Mimi has been busy busy making not only the fur coats, but also their Christmas dresses. They all look the same color in this picture, but Kaitlyn's is dark green, Aubrie's a dark blueish/purple, and Emma's is dark maroon. Thanks Mimi!!!! You're the best!
We went on our annual Christmas Caroling event to the elderly in our church. It is so much more fun now that I can take the kids. They are so sweet with the older people. Here Aubrie is singing "Jingle Bells" with Poppy! She absolutely sings ALL THE TIME! She has quite the repertoire for a 2 year old.
I'm not sure if she is singing very loudly in sister's ear or going in for a kiss, but doesn't big sister Kaitlyn looked thrilled!

The McCarter Family wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas - a couple of days late and a Happy New Year! Once again, our family was so blessed this season!

Birthday Party, Christmas Party, and Other Random Pics

Miss Kaitlyn turns 7 this month! She was 2 when Michael and I got married and the time has sure flown! She is such a great big sister and we love having her when she is here every other week!As you can see, Aubrie adores her big sister! Here they are playing in the pit at Powerhouse Gymnastics where we had Kaitlyn's party.
She has been asking for these Heeley shoes for over a year now, so she was very happy when she opened them!
Miss photogenic!
Mom....enough with the pictures already!
Posing for the camera!
Aubrie attempting the high bar. I have a feeling that Miss Aubrie will be asking to take gymnastics before too long.

Kaitlyn with her friends Keraghan and Chandler. Aren't they cute!
Sweet sisters!

This picture is out of order and I can't figure out how to move it....but this is Aubrie and Grayson at our friends house the other night playing, laughing, and having fun!
Here I am again!
Say cheese!

These are my babies in front of the tree! It is almost impossible to get them to look at the same time!

Aubrie playing with a softball wearing Lexie's helmet.

This was Emma's first bath with Kaitlyn and the first time to take a bath sitting in her Bumbo seat. She likes to sit in it a lot!

This is one of her signature expressions. She has made this face almost since Day 1. Her Gran Gran thinks this outfit makes her look like a baby convict. You can't read the suit, but it says "Just Chillin". Too cute!

Aubrie's Church Christmas Party

Emma and her friend Anna Claire
The only way that Aubrie would have her picture made with Santa is if Mommy was in it too. She was kind of scared of him!
The whole group!
Cheesin' Reindeer!
The future Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Cannon! =)
Watching Rudolph on DVD (very intently I might add)!

My baby is 3 months old!

My, how the time flies! My little Emma turned 3 months old this week. The three month shirt has become somewhat of a tradition with some of our church friends with little girls. It belongs to our friend Roselyn who wore it, as well as our other friend Anna Claire. Thanks Rachel!
The proud big sis!
Look at those tiny feet! It's hard to believe they were about 1/2 that size 3 months ago!

Emma's 1st Thanksgiving

This is the girls' great uncle John - emphasis on the GREAT!
The older sisters in their matching outfits; I'm dressing them alike as long as they'll let me! I don't think it will be long until Kaitlyn thinks she's "too big"!
What a smile! She is such a happy baby.

This is my 2 girls with their cousins Kira and Julia at their great-grandparents' house. Kaitlyn was having Thanksgiving with her mom and her family!
Emma with her Poppy!
Mimi getting all her kisses!

She looks very excited about Turkey day doesn't she?!
This is the girls' favorite and ONLY aunt and uncle on either side of Michael and my families - Ryan and Lacey! We don't get to see them near as much as we want to - but they are very special to us!

Random Pics of the McCarter Girls!

Kaitlyn loves to to play dress up with her sister Aubrie! They are sooo funny when they put on their dresses and dance around! Ofcourse, Aubrie has to do EVERYTHING that big sister does! Isn't she a beautiful princess???

Showin' out for the camera.

My little helper! She wants to help with everything! I hope it lasts!

Aubrie and I just hanging out at the house. Awful of me, but I thought it was good of Miss Pris!
