Ho Ho Ho!!

Just wanted to post a few pictures in case you came looking for any.

Ethan's favorite shirt that he will probably wear every day for the next month...

...hopefully without the Spongebob jammie pants.

His Sith fighter plane, or whatever the correct technical name is...

He was giving it in-flight sound effects, and the gold bow was in fact on his head, not behind it.

These were our lights. We went driving around looking for some last night and didn't really find much. Either nobody was home or it was a bad year for lights. Ours were more tame this year than last, a few things were somehow broken when we unpacked them, but we got the addition of the candy canes this year from Ken. We will need about twice as many to line the driveway all the way to the street... maybe next year. Well, not really. I think 30-something is probably enough. We'll find something else to add, though.


OK, that's all for now. I hope you all had a great Christmas!! Ho Ho Ho!!!

Hello again.

OK, so I have been VERY bad with the 'ole blog. So sorry. I also haven't taken too many photos, either, though. I'll post a few, starting with my favorite. I took this of my boys when we went to the festival of trees last weekend.

It was very cool with tons of themed trees. Ethan's favorite was made of stuffed animals.
I think we were supposed to guess how many animals it was made of, but the sign was tiny and we didn't see it.

His second favorite was the rubber duckie tree.

There was also a huge area with gingerbread houses, which was my favorite part, but it was really hard to get pictures. We're going to make one and I'll take a picture of that.

Going back in time a bit, Ethan was very proud of our "Mantle of Horror" at Halloween. It wasn't too creepy, but next year we're hoping it will be.

What else?... Ethan is student of the week this week. It's a random drawing of names and everyone gets it eventually. He does think, however, that it is very cool that he happens to get it on Aunt Jude's birthday week. He has a huge homework assignment that involves many photos I have to take, so I'll have more to post when those are done. We started today, but my battery went dead after 3 picures.

Animal updates, here's the puppy (ya, right) napping...

That dog will herd Jake around the house all day. I feel pretty bad for the cat not being able to go anywhere without Milo trying to make him go the opposite direction. For some reason the picture of Jake won't upload. Maybe next post.

I suppose that's all for now.
