Happy Birthday Carrie!!!

Carrie said to me shortly after Lillie was born how strange it seemed to have a little baby girl that belonged to them.
I remember telling her that within a day it would feel like she belonged to their family and wouldn't be able to imagine a life with out her.
Today as I was sorting through pictures of Carrie and getting this post ready I thought how true that also is of my daughter and son-in-laws.


Carrie may have sacrificed the possibility of a modeling career to join our family. Instead she improved the Winterton gene pool when it comes to beauty and height.


She takes great care of this crew.


She has georgous big eyes...and can be seen pulling this face when she doesn't like the food, what she's doing, or doesn't feel too good.


She supports and loves Eric, and somehow manages to keep him inline.


She's smart and worked very hard to get her Bachelors degree in nursing.



Shes always aware of the needs of others and is sensitive and thoughtful.


She's very crafty, very talented (she sewed these outfits Lillie and Ella are wearing)and always a great mom.
Carrie sees things that need to be done, and doesn't wait to be asked. She just goes to work on it.


We are so grateful you are part of our family!
We hope you feel good enough to eat a slice of your birthday cake...If not, make a good wish and we will keep our fingers crossed that it comes true. Happy Birthday!
