Christmas at the Carr's - the PERFECT gift!

Christmas 2010 was yet another special one!  From the lights, friends, family, food, and presents, there was ONE present for the first time that we were dying to open.  Such a small box, but such a HUGE gift!

Back in mid-Oct, we found out that we were expecting our second child.  In a GREAT way it was a shock.  From surgury to fertility and everything else in between we are awaiting the arrival of another Carr on June 7.  So for two impatient people (Mike and I!), we decided to find out the sex on Dec. 23.  To make Christmas even more memorable, we had the ultra sound tech write it down and put it in an envelope - SEALED to perfection.  It was then passed off to be wrapped and Christmas Eve night, we opened the box as a family!  Results showed...it's a GIRL!!  Abby was super excited...she said, "I can't wait to dress her up and be a BIG sister!"  We were thrilled...and now the name game... and of course the countdown to June will take place.  My side of the family already knew because I gave my brother Scott a bakery envelope and he of coarse shared the news...keep in mind they knew about 12 hrs before we did!  So since Christmas dinner is spent with the Carr Family, they also had a box to open.  We gave the present to Mike's mom since this will be her 22nd grandchild.  And after it took 5 people to view the ultrasound, they too announced that we would be having a GIRL!!
So for our family of three this Christmas, we can't wait to meet the little girl who is about to change our lives yet again!  And yes, PINK is the color of choice!  I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
