It's Beginning to look a lot like...

something.... y'all know I don't decorate for Christmas, nor do I enjoy it. But, I gotta say, it sure does help when I have someone getting the decorations for me (Thanks Mom's). Ethan has been talking about "putting Christmas up" for a week and a half now... it is inevitable. We knew the day would come when we would have to "get in the Christmas spirit" and put decorations up. Ethan loves it. He has been humming Santa Clause is Coming to Town and saying how cute and beautiful Christmas is. Unfortunately, this will be the last year I can get away with having a mini tree, it's perfect for the very few ornaments we have as of now.

Hello Santa! This year Ethan was too excited to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what he wanted most for Christmas. I have no idea what they chatted about - but Ethan was all grin's. He saw Santa, chatted him up while smiling from ear-to-ear, took his picture, got his candy, and said to Santa "we have to leave now, don't forget". I have no idea...

Happy Thanksgiving.

...Ethan's holiday bubbles

Last weekend our awesome day care provider's daughter got married. Ethan got to be the ring bearer, our table was awkward and the angles weren't that great, so the pictures didn't turn out well, but we thought he was cute nonetheless.

Happy Halloween

This year we went to the church Trunk-or-Treat Friday night before Halloween. Ethan was not very interested in getting candy, but wanted more to give the candy to the "childrem"*. He would wait for the kids to say "trick-or-treat" then he would ask "okay, which do you want"?

On Saturday, we did

Monster's on Main Street with my girlfriend from work and other work friends. The kids had a blast, but Ethan, of course wanted to pull his wagon more than trick-or-treat.

On Sunday - Halloween - Ethan wanted to dress up and hand candy to the childrem* as Super Ethan to the Rescue.

*not a typ-o, Ethan says Childrem, not children
