Every year, Amherst donates a tree to Children's Hospital Fantasy of Trees. Courtney is on the committee at school so she gets free tickets to the event. It's a lot of work but the end result is always exciting to see! This year, we went on Wednesday, November 24th because 2 of our neices were dancing in a show that evening. They did a GREAT job during their performances! We are so proud of you, Ainsley and Zoe! After the performances, we walked around to enjoy the trees and let Carter have fun in the kid area. He decorated a cookie, made an ornament, and "painted" a reindeer. He loves to color and paint pictures but ends up calling it all "paint".

Our best attempt at a family picture- Carter was way too interested in everything else going on around him!
Carter decorating a cookie with sprinkles. YUMMY!
He was having trouble reaching the cookie so Joe put him in his stroller. Carter decided to dump all the sprinkles on the cookie at one time! 
Sampling his creation!
Last year, Carter made a holly ornament so this year we picked a reindeer for his thumbprint.
Ready to hang on our tree!
Our little artist hard at work!
Carter saw his cousins coloring a reindeer figure and had to make one too!
Worn out and ready to go home! Let the holiday season begin...
