Christmas PJ Outtakes

Ethan: Hey Abby, I have an idea. Come a little closer so mama can't hear. Let's be silly. Follow my lead.

Abby: I'm not so sure about this.

Ethan: Hey, you're eating the ornament. That's a good start.

Ornament on the head

Ethan: HILARIOUS right?

Ethan: Hey Abby, I have another idea. Let's play a joke on mommy and not smile. It will be so funny. Trust me.

Ethan: Good job Abby. You're really getting into it.

Mama: Abby, what did Ethan tell you to do?
Abby: I don't know what you're talking about.

Abby: Pssst. Hey, maybe we can look at the camera

for the next one. I think she's on to us.

Abby: Wow, mama is sure acting silly. I can't believe she just made that silly face. Ethan: I know. She is crazy. She's deserves a good one. Let's smile for the next one. Abby: Good idea.

Abby in her Christmas PJs

I love this age where your child will sit in one place and allow you to take several pictures of them. Here are a few of my favorites of Abby.

First Hot Cocoa Video

Last night we went to look at the lights around the neighborhood. Before we left though, Ethan experienced Hot Cocoa for the first time. I think he liked it. =)

Ethan for Hire: Personal Tree Decorator

As part of our first family advent activity, we decided to decorate our tree. I built it up in Ethan's head by telling him we were going to put decorations on the tree and that it would be so much fun, etc. Eric and I had our heads turned for a second. When we turned around, we saw this.

Somehow the word "decoration" got lost in translation. He would put a block on the tree and then go run and get another one. Needless to say, he brought a huge smile to our faces. Now we can tell him years from now, that the first decoration he put on the tree was a pillow. Again, if any of you need some help decorating your tree, he works for very reasonable rates. =)

So here he is putting up his first "real" ornament. He managed to do it without any help. He takes his work very seriously.

Abby taking in all the fun

Getting our Tree

Here are a few pictures of us getting our tree this year at our nearby farm. This year, Ethan was old enough to "help" his daddy cut down the tree.

Happy Thanksgiving Songs from Ethan

Ethan has a few songs to sing for you. The second song is called, "Hello Mr. Turkey." The words in the middle should be, "with a wobble wobble wobble and a gobble gobble gobble." Ethan decided to change things up a bit. Happy Thanksgiving!

And I couldn't leave Abby out of things. She wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving too.

Just for Fun.

Our Little Opera Singer

Ethan is a boy that never smiles or laughs. He never starts laughing just because everyone else is. He never makes up jokes and laughs at them harder than anybody. He never acts silly. HAHAHA. Yeah right! =)

Here he is singing that final last high note to end his song =)
