Christmas

Christmas was so much fun.  We realized this year that Tucker is a Christmas kid.  He loves Christmas movies, songs, and everything else.  He likes to call the Christmas tree a "welcome tree" because in the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" the whos sing their welcome song around the city tree.  Any time we saw a Christmas tree in a store, school, or other public place, Tucker would hold my hand and sing the "welcome" song.  Kids truly do make the holidays.

Tucker was very excited to see Santa too.  He was so excited to talk to him, until we were there.  Once we saw Santa, Tucker got all shy.  He wanted to sit on Santa's lap, but he wouldn't look at him.  It was so cute. 


Tucker also had fun helping us decorate the Christmas tree.  Ethan liked eating the decorations that we had on it (cookies, dried oranges, and cranberries).

Ethan's First Birthday (Nov. 24th)

It has been a long time since I posted anything...obviously.  Ethan's first birthday was a lot of fun.  He definitely enjoyed his cake.  He even tried to share it with me and his Aunt Megan when we came in for a kiss.  Tucker was more than willing to teach Ethan how to open the gifts and share them.  Ethan was a good sport and willingly shared his gifts.  Thank you to everyone who helped make his first birthday special.
