Merry Christmas and Year in Review!

Merry Christmas!  We are glad you stopped in to visit!  You may have received our "crazy" Christmas card picture, so here are a few normal ones.  These pictures were taken back in September on the day of Caleb's baptism. They are very special to us!  That was definitely a highlight of 2013.  Read below to see some other Carter highlights for 2013!
