A Carter Christmas

The year Carter was 3 was a big one for Carter. He received so many gifts it took almost 2 hours to open them all. Of course he had to play with all of the toys as he opened them and he wanted pictures of him wearing the clothes he got. Before we were going to eat his mom and dad told him he needed to start putting away some of the toys. This of course brought tears and him sitting stubbornly in the living room playing with the toys. Carol said she would help him put the toys away in his room. So they started moving arm loads of toys into his room and into the closet. This was still taking some little time as he and grandma were still playing with the toys too. His mom told him that if he didn't hurry up he would lose his toys and wouldn't be able to play with his favorite toys. So as he and Carol are putting the last toys into the closet he pushes Carol into the closet and closes it. Yes, he put away his favorite toy, grandma because she would play him. To this day there is a closeness with those two that even I envy.
