Cousin Time in DC



Friends Forever



Just so glad the power is back on. What a snowstorm... This was the frist time Carsyn ever got to sleep in a real bed. Right between Gammy and mommy... at least she slept. What a night...

Old Man Mark





After spending the day at Thomas the Train, Josh and I enjoyed a much needed night out with friends in Charlotte.

Thomas

We took Carsyn for a big day out with Thomas. She loved it and we loved watching her. Although I think her fondest memory was the whole tub of popcorn she ate all by herself. When asked at school about seeing Thomas she replied "popcorn."

Nashville

Carsyn and I jumped on the chance to go to Nashville with Grammy and Poppy. We were both amazed by Opryland. It is like a small city. We sure got our exercise. Note to self when chasing a toddler around for days pick a smaller place. We had a good time, especially at Tootsies. We were also excited to get together with Mark, Kats, and Joe. Carsyn loves Big Joe. We were all impressed by how much he can eat.  

Happy New Year 2011

It was a Happy New Year at the Barry house spending time with family and friends...

Christmas Break Fun

After all of the hustle and bustle we had some down time back in Hickory.  We met up with the Raineys and had some fun at the Science Center.  

A Very Merry Christmas

   Christmas 2010 was so much fun. Carsyn learned about baby Jesus and of course Santa Claus. We started out our celebration at the Children's service where Carysn was quite restless. However she did enjoy hearing the children sing and also tried to steal on of the other kids cup cakes.

   After church we went to Grammy and Poppy's house.   The first thing she opened Christmas Eve was a toy tea set. Well after that nothing else mattered the entire night. She wouldn't have anything to do with other gifts or toys. At least it kept her entertained. After having a little family Christmas we visited with good friends where Carsyn was able to play with Loch. They had so much fun running and screaming all over the house.

  Christmas morning was a little slow getting started. Mom was up but Josh and Carsyn slept until about 10-10:30. Must have been that nice snowy weather or staying up until midnight. We had a lot of fun watching Carsyn empty her stocking, unwrap her presents, and of course play with her new toys. Santa brought her an awesome train/Lego table. She also got her new best friends Buddy and Tiny from her favorite show Dinosaur Train.  After a quick morning of playing and watching Toy Story 3 we were off to Greensboro.

   The drive was a little scary with all of the snow, but we finally made it to Grandma and Papa's house. We arrived just in time for dinner and fun with the Weavers. After which Carsyn finally discovered her play kitchen that Grandma and Papa got her. She loved it! We had a lot of good times in Greensboro going to the Filling Station, Friendly, and of course a little MJ dancing.

   Now back to Hickory...
