Christmas 2010 : {Living, Laughing, Loving}

The best part of Christmas this year was spending time with our entire family. We are truly blessed to have the family we do. The most priceless moment from our holiday was when Ethan woke up Christmas morning and said "Merry Christmas Birthday Jesus". He tried to say it all at once. This was a very special Christmas!

Ethan visits Santa!

Ethan is almost old enough to understand Santa.It has been fun watching him learn.  It was simply priceless when he made out his Christmas list to give to Santa. Boy oh Boy did Ethan have alot to say "you could tell by all of his scribbles and talking " ha!

Last night, Nathan and I, took Ethan to see the Big Ol' Jolly Man.. He would not walk up to Santa. He would not make eye contact with Santa. Ethan would try and hold up his arms to not touch Santa. It was like he froze when sitting on his lap. It was Hilarious. Ethan quickly told Santa by slightly turning his head that he was a "good" boy.Then he said a few things he wanted. Santa got no good bye, but he did say "thank you". Such a funny moment to remember.

 

                                      Here are a few pictures to end my post......

Ethan at Build A Bear yesterday. He made a Rudolph! Ethan had a blast.

Ethan and Lyla baking Christmas Sugar Cookies in the Kitchen.

Here is Ethan's new Christmas tree for his room, and he absolutely LOVES it. He decorated his tree all by himself . We loved how it turned out.

Hope you all have a great Weekend. It's going to be a very busy one for us.

I have a couple random things to share. First is our tree.....

I keep finding random toys on our tree, hmmm wonder who is doing this??? Not a little boy named Ethan?!?

           Next,  I wanted to share some pictures I have been wanting to post..........
My mother surprised Ethan with some Christmas Craft activities. So far, Ethan has loved everyone of them. These activities have kept him really busy and happy. It is so fun to watch Ethan be creative. I love that Ethan is finally old enough to enjoy things like this, its pretty cool if I'd say so myself. It is the simple things that can make for good times.

   

Below are some pictures from our play date last week at the Penziol's house. Laurie and I decided it would be fun to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and let the boys help. We made sure we had plenty other activities for the boys so us Mama's could bake away. The boys played for hours straight, they had a blast! Dane, was a great sleeper through all of it! It was such a fun day!

Before I go, here are two pictures of Ethan feeding Dora all on his own. Ethan is already doing chores, we are SUPER lucky-whoop-whoop- ...

 

Told you this was going to be random, Goodnight!!!
