Merry Christmas

What an experience to celebrate Christmas with a 2 year old. The first Christmas we were blessed to have Ethan with us, as he wasn't due for another 2 weeks. Last year, he was a little more participatory but still quite dazed by the experience and unsure of what was expected of him. This year, Christmas #3 FLEW by!! It was a whirlwind of Cars jammies, wrapping paper, tissue and toys. We are so blessed to have families that enjoy giving as much as they do and got all we could've asked for with a little extra on the side.

Santa brought Ethan a shiny new tricycle that he loves even though he doesn't really know how to operate it yet. I give him till Spring and he'll be a pro, if it even takes him that long.
He also got some new sunglasses and some candy
Thomas tractors to go with his train set that he got for his birthday

An authentic, autographed, Mickey Mouse het!!
and much, much, much more. He was great at sharing but even better at helping us unwrap our gifts

Santa also stopped at Grandma and Papa's house and brought him a drum set (for Ethan or Daddy, the jury's still out) Auntie and Grandma got pictures of his reaction




After lots of unwrapping presents we did some napping and laying low
and walking on our white Christmas

till guests arrived for dinner, which was absolutely delicious! Ethan ate a lot more than he did at Thanksgiving although jello and rolls were still his favorite. Today Ethan has been playing with all his new toys, singing Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Coming to Town and asking when we can open more presents. Thank you to everyone that made our third Christmas together extra special.
