Merry Christmas!

Ethan has had a wonderful Christmas! Christmas Eve was spent with Trav's side of the family at the nursing home, so Grandma Sandy could be there. Above is cousin Camryn helping Ethan open a present! He loves his big cousins!

Ethan had a very late night and didn't get to bed until 9:00!

He insisted on going to bed with his new football!
Christmas morning he awoke to find this cool new car garage! It was a hit! Since we had to get ready to head to church by 9:30, we only got through about 1/2 of our gifts. It was fun to see Ethan enjoy Christmas so much!
When he opened this Barney book, he was so overcome by joy that he ran around to the back of mommy and kissed the back of her neck to show his gratitude!
We headed to mom's hometown to go to church with Great Grandpa Glenn. It was great to spend time with him, but Ethan wanted NOTHING to do with sitting quietly in church, so mom and dad took turns trying to entertain him in the freezing cold entry way of the building. We had gone to our own church Christmas Eve, and within about 2 minutes he was in the nursery there. He's really not a big fan of sitting still . . .

After church we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a delicious brunch and a day of relaxation. Ethan napped from 1-5 which was awesome, and mom and dad just laid on the couch and watched A Christmas Story all afternoon. When we got home tonight we opened more gifts, but Ethan still has a few more to go . . . he apparently likes to spread out the joy for a few days!

We still have 3 Christmas celebrations left . . . .We'll keep you posted on the festivities!
