MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas morning at my parents' house...Ethan was so excited to see what Santa brought him!


Ethan's favorite spot, right in the middle of all the presents!

Cooper pooped out pretty early!

Ethan and Grandpa playing with his new toy. I'm not sure who had more fun with it, Ethan or Grandpa!

Annual Christmas Baking Day

Every year just before Christmas we get together with our friends to bake treats for Christmas....well, the women bake and the men take care of the little ones...I think thats a pretty nice arrangement:-)

Just a preview of our "organized" mess.

Christy and Aaron hosted us at Al and Brenda's....they are expecting a little one in July so Aaron was happy to hold Ethan most of the afternoon.

Lucas Milnes

Jill and Monica are naturals in the kitchen:-)

Brenda, Bryce and Ethan....Bryce kept saying "Oh, isn't she just adorable" about Ethan....He has a baby sister and so he thinks that all babies are girls....it was so cute!

So Strong!

"Look Mom, I can hold my head up!"

Our Little Star

Ethan had his first photo session last month with Amber Kennell. Amber took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures so it was only fitting that she take Ethan's first pictures. As always she did an amazing job!! Here are a few of my favorites.




STRETCH!!!



I'm Awake!

I heard Ethan on the monitor just talking away this morning....this is what I found:-)
