Ethan's Christmas Sing Along

Gingerbread Song

Merry Fake Christmas!

Saturday we did our Christmas here & gave Ethan all of the presents from us. I think for the first time this year, all of the presents will fit under the tree Christmas morning! Splitting them up was good, b/c we cannot carry anything else in the car LOL His favorite thing was Mario Party for the DS - even though he already has the same game for the WII & GameCube. He played it for like 8 hours this weekend!

Mario Party!

Batman Nunchucks!

Mickey Mouse Magic Choo Choo

We're super excited to come home next week! Can't wait to see everyone!

the Christmas Parade

This weekend we went down to my parent's house to check out Sedalia's Christmas Parade. It was cold and about an hour and a half into it, E was ready to go. We still saw at least 2 blocks worth of people lined up to march after we left, so it must have been one long parade. Way too long for a December parade in 20 - 30* weather! They did give out a lot of candy, Bill even got a Tshirt, and my dad got a CD. Kenosha parades don't give out anything as far as I can remember.

All bundled up and ready to roll.

Drinking cocoa & watching the parade.

Highlights included a decorated cement truck....

We also stopped to see Santa at Hallmark. When asked what he wanted for Christmas, E couldnt' remember what was on his list. Silly boy.

this was what he looked like at the end of the weekend

HO HO HO

It is cold here!!! I thought we moved farther South to get warmer weather, what the heck. Last night we went to Walmart and it was SNOWING out. Not cool!! I know it's December but it was in the 60s last week...this morning it was 20*!! On the plus side, E looks so cute in his hat & gloves all bundled up :)


Bill's battalion had it's Christmas party tonight. There wasn't much there, we waited in line for food for probably 30 minutes, then Ethan played in the bouncy house with his friend Lily until Santa got there. Santa came, the kids did pictures & got a bag full of candy from him. That was cute...they also took pictures and printed them up for us. Just have to say, I'm glad that I told him ahead of time that it wasn't the REAL Santa because he wanted to know why he had brown eyebrows when his hair & beard is white. I'm telling you, this kid is too observant!!
