getting ready to go out on the ice

December
I am not sure where last week went, not to mention the month of December. We did however take a lot of pictures (when I remembered the camera any way).
Olivia and Ethan both enthusiastically sat on Santa's lap. I don't know if you remember pictures from the past two years, but they were usually one or both crying. This year I had to tell it was time to get off of his lap because there were other children waiting!
We went to get our Christmas tree on the absolute coldest day before Christmas. All of the uncut trees (we usually cut our own), were covered in ice so we had to buy a pre-cut tree. We picked a tree in record time. I didn't take to many pictures, it was to cold to take my mittens off!!!
Ethan has been wearing "Big Boy" underpants for about 2 months now and doing a great job. Just in the past 2 weeks he tells us when he has to go and we really haven't had any more accidents, before we were just putting him every hour or so.
Olivia sang a solo at her Christmas program at pre-school, she was a little timid.
Okay so when my sister and I were kids decorating our Christmas tree, every year our parents would tell us how nice tinsel used to be and it hung so nicely and you reused it every year until it was to short to put on the tree any more and blah, blah, blah. They also taught us, as I thought everyone was taught that you put one piece of tinsel on at a time on every branch. After Earl and I were married I learned with our first Christmas tree that not everyone did this. It was the only time in the 6 years we have been married that we put tinsel on the tree. Until this year! I found myself telling Olivia and Ethan (after banning Earl from the Tinsel) that you place on strand on every branch. Well it is apparently like Father like Daughter.
Ethan's Tinsel placing (Shows promise!)
My tinsel placing (as it should be)
Ethan is all set for tools. He now shows Daddy how to use his
Everything on his work bench MUST be exactly as you see it here or he has to fix it!! Seriously, don't rearrange his tools or you're in trouble!
Santa brought Olivia a big girl bike and helmet!
We had a great Christmas. We were able to spend time with all of our love ones. The weekend before Christmas we went to Grandmom and Pop-pop Millie's and saw everyone there and had a great time playing the Wii. Unfortunately I forgot my camera! I forgot it again when we celebrated Christmas with my mom's side of the family. I am going to have to do better.

He is very proud of himself and we are too!
