Christmas Morning-Ethan's 2nd Christmas

We are thankful that family made the trip to see us for the holidays.  Grandpa Bear and Nanny T came the weekend before the actual day, and Grammy Patti and Grandpa Steve joined us on Christmas proper.  We look forward to having one more day of festivities with Grandma Sandy and Papa Bill in a few short days.....

Look out!  Ethan's got wheels

It is slow going but Ethan can easily open his own presents now

Push me DAD!

It is so true, he loves the boxes as mush as the actual presents:)

More Bubbles

Ethan's vocabulary is exploding!  Almost daily he is saying new words.  It is really exciting.  He says "more bubbles" when we play with this bottle in the tub.  He also says "bath".

He thinks it is very funny to pour the water into his mouth and let it run out

He loves taking his morning bath 

Thanksgiving

We all ended up getting sick during our Thanksgiving trip to Spokane hence the hiatus from blogging.  Not fun.  What was fun was seeing so many of our loved ones.  I wish I had more pictures!  Especially of our visit with the Sturtevants.  Our meal was fantastic and our time with them was so precious. We had a second meal where Grandma Colleen knocked herself out.  During the holidays and the rest of the year we have much to be thankful for!
