Wow, I totally missed doing a post from our Christmas! I can’t believe it. Anyhow, we had a great Christmas season, we went to the Festival of Trees Teddy Bears Breakfast with our friends The Smiths and The Dombroskies. It was a fun time however a bit complicated as we arrived late and couldn’t get a table to sit altogether. Here are some pictures from the day!
We had a great time decorating the tree! I bought lots and lots of new little things for it this year…I think it was my favorite so far!
Randy and Ethan had their Annual Gingerbread House decorating Day! This year they went ‘untraditional’ and made an Angry Birds camp! Ethan had seen an Angry Birds design at the Festival of Trees and had his heart set on buying it…we didn’t bid on it as it was already over $200 and it was a bit rich for my blood. Instead I suggested to Randy that they make their own…I think they did a great job, what do you think?
We had a fun time at Ethan’s Christmas concert this season! We arrived a bit close to the time though and ended up in the VERY back of the gym. I had only brought my one lens so we didn’t get very good pictures being so far back…it was a very cute performance though and when the newsletter came out in January our little man was featured prominently in many of the pictures singing his little heart out! We were bursting with pride!
Our Christmas Day was just the three of us…we had a great quiet day at home. We started out with our stockings of course and then quickly dove into our presents! We loved watching Ethan open his presents as usual, lots of “Wows” and “Awesome” coming from his camp! We had alot of fun wrapping his trains up….we bought him 90 assorted Thomas trains and freight cars…they were (thankfully) the highlight of the day and he still plays with his trains more than he did before!
It was a nice Christmas. We were sad that we didn’t have any family here with us and that we couldn’t travel but it was nice to spend the time just the three of us before we add a new baby to the mix. Randy had almost 2 weeks off and it was wonderful for all of us to have that uninterrupted time together. It’s been awhile! We are hoping to travel home next Christmas to spend it with family and share baby’s first Christmas surrounded with them.
