Belly kisses

When we say" Ethan, give the baby a kiss" This is what he does...

For some reason he wont do it unless he actually sees my tummy. He will grab the bottom of my shirt and pull it up. He's so funny. Most of the time he just yells at my tummy. I say some sibling rivalry already. Of course all in love :)

Christmas Day and Eve

Don't you just love his bow tie!? Such a stud!

Instead of having Christmas dinner at Drew's grandmas we had dinner at my Aunt Jill's house. This is Grandpa Larry and Ethan's back hahaha. He was such a good boy ALL DAY but didn't want to be held for pictures as you can tell:)

Daddy and E.

Mommy, E and the choo choo:)

This was taken Christmas Eve. I didn't get a lot of pictures from Christmas Eve because I was busy watching Ethan and he was very very active that night. We weren't too sure how Christmas was going to pan out after Christmas Eve but it turned out to be great.

Drew's mom trys to get a picture of her kids and grandchildren every year on the stairs. Not an easy feat at the end of the night, but it worked out. Ethan was really the only one who didn't want to take a picture as you can see. What a silly little guy.

G.G, Drew and Ethan. Grandma Shannon is such a classy and beautiful lady . We had tons of treats for Christmas dessert this year the table was full of ginger bread men, cookies and pies. I made Oreo Balls which people seemed to of liked. I know I like them..yumm! I wish I would of taken a picture of them.

Gloria is very good at the piano and was giving Avery and Ethan some good pointers.

Here's a picture of some of the goodies at G.G's table!

Jeff and Eloise.

Daddy and daughter. I like this picture of them.

Avery is Drew's cousin daughter(Bri) . They also have 2 more beautiful children that I didn't get a picture of:(

Christmas Morn

Christmas Morning was fun this year . Drew, I and Ethan woke up about 7:00am and went downstairs to see what Santa had brought us. We looked to see if he ate his cookies and drank his milk. Santa must of been stuffed form all the sweets he had been eating that night because he only had a bite of the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies we left for him :)

Ethan loved opening his presents! When we found something that he really liked he paid no attention to the rest of the gifts and would just play with the ones he had already opened.

He loved the remote control car that Santa brought.

But most of all he loved the "Choo Choo" that daddy picked out for him. He brought it with him all day, wherever he went the train went to.

After we opened our family's gifts we went over to spend some at Grandma and Grandpa's house with Bill, Amy, Gloria, Violet, Lukey and Isaiah.

These are Ethan's cousins. Eloise was at home with her mommy and daddy(Becky and Jeff) on Christmas morning this year to have a special Christmas at their house:)

Amy and I snapped about 50 shots of this picture just to get one that was good. These kiddos are pretty active especially Lukey Boy and Ethan. Next year we will have a 6 month old for Gloria or Violet to hold for the picture! This family is growing fast!
