Christmas at Grandpa Hammer & Lisa's House!

Cars! (This was a theme... and Carson LOVES all of them)
In fact, he knows who gave him which and even has to have them "sorted". He only had a couple before and when we got home I tried to put them all together and he informed me that those don't "go" with the new ones.

Monster Trucks!

Thanks, Grandpa!!!

Happy Holidays from the Hammers!

Golf, Thanksgiving & Alligator Pie

Yes, alligator pie... what is it? you might ask. No clue. We mixed up some green rice crispies treats and Carson had a blast. He's always saying "Alligator Pie, if I don't get some I think I'm gonna cry. Take away the green grass, take away the sky... but don't you take away my alligator pie!" I think its from a book or song at daycare. Regardless, we had fun making our special pie!

Carson likes to bake with mom because he gets to lick the spoon!

Golfing Day... we took the boys to Whirlwind Golf Club to see how Carson would do with real clubs instead of his plastic ones. He did great! Except after so much swinging, he got a blister on his finger. Now that's all he can talk about when he sees the pictures... "remember when I got the blister on my finger golfing?" Of course, that doesn't stop him. He loves it! We just need to find a tiny golf glove now I guess.

Putting lesson from Daddy

We're having fun, mommy!

Carson thought it was more fun to hit the balls into the bunker

Doug... absolutely LOVING this

Follow me, Daddy.

Cheese!

They each have their own cart!

Thanksgiving 2008... we spent the day, as in a number of past years, in Laguna Niguel, California with some of Doug's extended family. Charlie was introduced to the clan.

He got no attention whatsoever...

Carson playing the piano... he loved all the instruments they had.
He certainly always loves to "make music" at home so to be able to use real instruments was so much fun for him the whole day.

Playing piano with "Great-Great Aunt Beth"

Drums!

He would get so serious when he started strumming!
