Christmas Eve

Ethan was such a good boy and let Ryan and I work on finishing up a special project for Christmas. We cannot wait to share!! We have been working on several things and are very excited to give them out over the next few days :)

It is our Christmas Eve tradition to open stockings, so we continued the tradition with Ethan. He did so well opening his little stocking gifts and really seemed to enjoy them all! He got a set of little soft Tonka cars, a snowman embroidered with 2008, and two board books: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and
The Story of Christmas. He even managed to keep on his Santa hat part of the time :)
We went over to Aunt Sheila and Uncle Rod's this evening because Santa Claus was coming to visit! Ethan did a little better than our trip to Macy's, but it definitely wasn't a friendly visit for him. Ethan still had fun playing with Aunt Haley, Aunt Brianna, and his cousin Rylee :)

We changed Ethan into his new Christmas jammies and headed home. Ethan helped Daddy pick out cookies to set out for Santa, and also carrots for the reindeer. Ethan tried to gnaw on the carrots :) We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and then Ethan headed to bed!
