Merry Christmas

While I have to say that the weather was extremly nice. It is just crazy Christmas tree shopping in 60 degree weather!!!

Decorating the Tree!

Olivia, Daddy and I made a Ginger Bread house. Olivia really seemed to enjoy it. Both her and Ethan have been sick this week. Ethan doesn't seem to have it as well. It has really knocked Olivia for a loop. She has had some high fevers. We keep hoping that she will be feeling better for Christmas!

One for the house, one for me!!

It looks good enough to eat!!!

Here Comes Santa Claus

My attempt to get a picture for Christmas cards! Anyone recognize the "Charlie Brown tree" in the corner?

Our annual Christmas cookie baking with Pop-pop and Mom-mom!
Olivia and Pop-pop's favorite part is putting the sprinkles on the sugar cookies.

This is the first year Olivia is really into Santa Claus. She talks about him all the time. She has even started going to the window to look for him. When we went to see Santa she was so excited, all through the line until we actually got up to Santa himself! She did stand next to him somewhat sheepishly and a little whiny. We started to walk away from him (no more than 2 feet) and she was so excited again! "I saw Santa!" She even waved good-bye to him.

Drumb roll please! Ethan is crawling! I realize it was bound to happen, however we are so000 not ready for two mobile children!!! He is doing very well. Ethan had his 9 month check up and is healthy. He weighed in at 20lbs 4oz. and is 29 1/2 inches tall. The doctor said is doing great. We are pretty much over the reflux thing and he eats anything he can get in his mouth! We love Cheerios!

Olivia likes to drive Pop-pop's tractor as long as it isn't noisy!

Family resemblence

I guess I few of you think that Ethan looks like Stephanie and Aunt Rose thinks that he looks like Stacie (I was content to think he looked like me!) I don't have a picture of Stephanie but I do have one of Stacie.

This was from this summer. I will have to look for some baby pictures of Stacie and I.

This is the whole gang with the exception of Earl, this summer in Louisville, KY.

I have some new pictures I hope to post soon. Is everyone feverishly getting ready for Christmas. I always think I have more time. However the closer it gets the more my schedule fills up and then the panic sets in!

I am finally trying to do this as my cousins with babies the same age as Ethan keep telling me is so easy. I have to admit it is a really nice way to keep how everyone is doing since we don't get to see you all often enough. So we shall see how easy this is for the computer challenged like myself!

Our little happy pumpkin!

Olivia was a Fairy Princess!

Our little Eagles Fans!

Both Olivia and Ethan are doing really well. Olivia is in the early stages of potty training. Ethan is very close to crawling. He army crawls at the moment. He is really good at rolling to where he wants to be! Much to the dogs dismay!!
