Pre-Christmas Pics
Once again, I'm behind on my blog! Honestly, we've had such a blessed Holiday Season with lots of family gatherings that in my few hours of down-time, I just wanted to hang out with my hubby and Ethan (not alone in our cold, dark basement!). So, in return, I'm weeks behind! Here I go and send everyone my blog address, making promises that I keep up on for all of you and I've so far made a liar out of myself! Okay, no more excuses! So, this year Ethan didn't really understand what happening with the Christmas tree, presents, and all the lights everywhere we went. Not to mention all the shopping his mom dragged him to do! He really loved the Christmas tree or "Baum-pam" as he called it. Yeah, we've been trying to figure out how the 2 sound even remotely alike, but I guess they do to him! The tree always had to be "on-on". Surprisingly, he otherwise left it alone. Occasionally, he'd bring me ornaments off of it, but otherwise he just liked to look at it. I was thankful for that! I didn't put out any presents though, b/c I wasn't sure how he'd handle that temptation! Well, I've included some pictures of Ethan around the tree and "Santa experience" from this year. He did great in line, even pointed to Santa and said "danta-danta", but when I put him on Santa's lap....total melt-down! I brought my nice camera and opted for the "take 3 pics for $5 option", well I couldn't even get my camera out b/c Santa had his hands full! Anyway, the photographer said maybe he'd do better if I sat with him and he took pics with my camera, he took a lot more then 3 too! He was really nice, trying get at least one good one. I was not prepared to have my picture taken that day, so pay now attention to the frumpy mommy in the background!!!
