Next, we were off to her Great Grandparent's house (my dad's parents) to celebrate her Great Grandmother Lee's 81st birthday with the WHOLE family. I had been warned that my aunt and cousins were already fighting over who was going to get to hold her first and most, but nothing could have prepared me for how much love she got! In the 4 hours we were there, I did not hold my child one time - except for the times she needed to be changed when strangely, people were glad to give her up. HA! I must admit that I enjoyed the break, but I'm not sure her daddy (who is a wee bit protective :)) felt the same way. In fact, I think he was more than ready to get home and have his "daddy time" with her.
Finally, we woke up this morning to see SNOW!!! The excitement here at the Carter house left no room for doubt that we are true Southerners and not used to the white stuff. We made sure that we did all of the mandatory activities... build a snowman (Brad went with a snowBABY), make snow ice cream (SO yummy!!!), and take no less than 50 pictures (just to prove that it actually did snow in Alabama). An absolutely fabulous day made better by the fact that I never took off my pjs! :)

Okay, I have to see Lillian soon. She has grown so much. The blue hat is adorable!!! Brad, I don't even know where to start with the snowbaby. That was very impressive! We need to be more creative. We used dog bones for our snowman's face. It was not as cute as y'alls.
Wow! So many comments... It looks like you had a great time in Tuscaloosa, and I know your family LOVED meeting Lillian! You look GREAT- no more talk about needing to lose weight- you look awesome! Next, Brad's snowbaby is very impressive!! I love the personal touches:) Lastly, the hats are SUPER cute!!! She may have to wear one of those for the pictures with her boyfriend Tuesday. I've already picked out an outfit for Trent to wear, but I'm sure he'll poop on it before we leave the house:) Can't wait to see you!!!
Very cute pictures, Heidi! I especially love the snow baby...good job, Brad--the attention to detail is amazing: the hat, bib, pacifier...Lillian's name in stick...HA!
I love all of the pictures and I think that Lillian is a hat baby! I loved Reese in hats and I am so happy to see that Lillian is so stylish in her hats as well!
Oh my gosh, she's getting SO big!! I must see her soon! I love the snow baby, very creative. The family picture is so good of all of you. Also, LOVE the hats! Talk to you soon!
