December days

Mid-December has held some really fun moments for us.  Carlton made his debut as a singer, joining the other kids at church to sing some Christmas carols during worship.  The picture below is from the warm-up, during which Carlton was eating a piece of bagel he'd nicked from the coffee table.  Ha, and then the during the actual performance, he sat quietly and declined to sing - even though he's been singing Joy to the World at the top of his lungs around the house for the past few weeks :)

We also gathered recently for the Christmas party with my extended family.  Though I didn't capture many images, I got a few during Mark and Carlton's turn at the stack-the-cup game.

Carlton chillin' with his Uncle Reuben, a bit partied out.

And one photo just from our everyday playtime around the house... Carlton's latest idea as to how to share toys with Clara involved them both taking a turn on the riding car together :)
