Christmas Vacation-First Tooth- Crawling

We started our Christmas vacation going to Arkansas.  We had such a great time. It's been a while since the whole Dennett family (Travis, me, Tyler, Preston, and Carsen) has gone on a road trip. Carsen is getting better riding in the car.  We spent 3 days hanging out with the Wolf family. Carsen was all over the hotel in his walker. Everyone knew him by name by the time we left.

Here's Carsen taking the wheel.  " Where to now?"

He's so advance. Driving at 6.5 months. :-)

When we got back from Arkansas we had to make a quick trip to see Santa Claus. Carsen did real good. He didn't cry at all. Tyler and Preston were eager to tell Santa what they needed. They were hoping it wasn't too late.  It was 5:30 on Christmas Eve. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. That is how the Dennetts to things. :-)

Later that evening we went over to Teresa and David Robertson (my cousins) for a holiday feast Italian style. Teresa really out did herself. Her food was absolutely delicious. Yummy!!!!!

Carsen hung on for as long as he could then just passed out. He was excited about Santa's arrival. 

Carsen's first Christmas...

He woke up to more than one surprise that morning. He got his first tooth! And there is no way he will let you look at it. Much less take a picture of it. He's real sensitive about it.  He loved ripping into the presents and then eating the paper. Thanks to everyone for your gifts. We really had an awesome day! It was our first Christmas waking up with all the boys.  A real blessing. 

Mommy's present taste good!

"Can someone get my glasses... I think it says it's from Santa Claus!"

Later that night we went over to Lara and Justin's house to exchange presents. It seems that every time we go over there Carsen has a first. Well once again he did. Carsen crawled for the first time on all fours. You can hear Lara's baby in the background.
