Aunt Adrienne's Birthday and Engagement

On Saturday Dec. 13th, Ethan and I joined his Grandma, Grandpa Chad, Aunt Adrienne and Uncle Chris for breakfast to celebrate Adrienne's Birthday. He was such a good boy. Hung out with everyone during breakfast, bright eyed the whole time! Then on Sunday the 14th we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for a birthday celebration. Gina, Kevin and their little boy Quinn came too! Ethan and Quinn played with each other for a while. It was the cutest thing! Another surprise arrived at 6:30 pm: A newly engaged Adrienne and Chris! What a wonderful birthday present.

It's been such a big year for our family! We are all so happy and blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The start of the Christmas Season:

Below are a mixture of pictures from the first week or so of December. Ethan is getting so excited for Christmas (well I like to think he is at least)! He has a bunch of Christmas outfits and we are trying to wear one a day. We are reading a Christmas story to him each night, and he listens to a Christmas CD at bed time. He went and got his picture taken with Santa out at Bass Pro Shop. He looked adorable, and he snuggled right up to Santa's beard. (Look for that picture soon). We also took family pictures for the holiday season, those should be posted next week!

Ethan and Daddy before going to Grandma's for the night!

Play mat fun! He is starting to focus on certain toys now, and he loves the sound of his rattles. He also loves his play mat. The music and lights can keep him entertained for almost an hour.

Ethan's First Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving the plan was to do dinner at Aaron's parents on Thanksgiving Eve and then drive up to Tampa and do dinner with my family on Thanksgiving day. Unfortunatley Ethan came down with a cold a couple days before Thanksgiving, so we had to cancel the trip up to Tampa. Wednesday night we went over to Aaron's families house and had dinner and took some pictures. Wasn't a late night, considering little man wasn't feeling so hot. We got some cute pictures out of the night. Ethan hung out with Olivia and Sherry for a little bit and took some pictures with her. She was so adorable holding him. Grand-mama got some good pictures with him, and so did Chadley. All in all it was a good Thanksgiving. I am so thankful to have so many loving people in my life, and to have such a wonderful husband and son. I couldn't ask for anything more and I hope that as the years go on Ethan understands just how much he is loved by everyone!

Weekend at Grandma's & Random November Pics

Pictures below are random ones throughout the end of November. The top ones are from Ethan's stay at Grandma's for the first time. He enjoyed himself (ALOT)! He christened almost every spot in the house: the couch, the bed, the kitchen sink, and Grandma.

Other pictures are Ethan cruising around town in his cute Panda beanie that he got from Aunt Ashley, Aunt Kerry, and Aunt Lo.

One picture is of Ethan talking to his Grandma in Tampa on the phone.

And the last are my two boys taking a nap! So cute!
