Once again, we had a very busy Christmas. We started out going to visit my family in Red Oak on Christmas Eve. We got there early so that we could ensure a pretty good nap to keep a certain little one in a good mood through the chaos. We met Gram for lunch at McDonald's once we got in town.

After lunch we went to Gram's house for a nap. Once naptime was over we got a visit from Nanny and Grandpa. And unfortunately, I didn't even think to get a picture while they were there. Soon after they left it was time for our Christmas Party. There was a great turn out. Ethan had a great time playing with his cousins. He doesn't often have children that age to play with that are boys. He followed Colton around everywhere. And Colton was sweet enough to share his cars and not get too mad when he had a hard time getting them back.

After presents were done and all of the cookies were eaten it was time to go. Little man was up way past his bedtime. And he sneaked enough sugar from people to give him a sugar rush. His Pop was no help in the matter. He made it almost the entire hour home before he fell asleep.

On Christmas Day, little man caught up on his sleep from his late night by sleeping in an extra hour while Dad went to church. When he did finally decide to grace us, he woke up to see the presents that Santa brought him. He got a new Radio Flyer 4-in-1 tricycle and a new Dump Truck. And of course there were many presents under the tree from Mom and Dad

After we opened all of our presents at the house, we went over to Uncle Chris', Aunt Diana's, and Emma's house for Christmas with the Flynn family. Aunt Diana and Grandma Flynn made a great meal for us consisting of ham, sweet potato casserole, brussel sprouts, and green beans.
After lunch, some of us were pretty tired. The little ones made sure to go pick on Uncle Mike while he was trying to sleep. And, we really enjoyed the view of our first White Christmas!

Once we got home that night Ethan finally decided to play with his new toys. He loves the new 4-in-1 tricycle the Santa brought him. It will be great come spring. Until then, he can push it around the house.

He also decided that Gil was pretty cool. He really enjoys taking his hands to make him clap. And he enjoys his new Bubble Guppies book that was in his stocking.
