Visit with Santa

Sunday night our city had a community Christmas party. We went just to see some live reindeer. Sadly, they only had 1 reindeer and they wanted $20 for a picture with the darn thing! Seriously?! I didn't see one person get their photo taken with it, and I'm sure a lot of people didn't even bring money because it was advertised as "free and open to the public". Poor reindeer. Ethan just wanted to go by it, and they wouldn't even let him pet it.

He did get some free cocoa and candy canes, and he got to sit on Santa's lap. He told Santa that he is going to be a doctor when he grows up, that he is usually a good boy, and that he wants Wii Party & Wii Nunchuks for Christmas. We didn't get a good picture, because they just kept chatting. We may go see another Santa on Saturday at the library.

Also, St. Nick came Sunday night. He broke Ethan's stocking holder!! He brought him good stuff though, so I guess he's forgiven. He got a new DS game, a freaky pet, a chocolate penguin, and a lego bin among other things. Daddy got a new toothbrush and some mouthwash because he says naughty words and needs to wash his mouth out.

Monday morning E also woke up with an ear infection :( They put him on penicillin which is the grossiest thing I've ever seen - its like melted yogurt and smells terrible. I feel bad giving it to him. He stayed home from school yesterday and today, but he's going back tomorrow. Thankfully he seems to bounce back as soon as he gets medicine in him.

Today we made some peanut butter cookies and christmas picture frame magnets that Momo brought him. They turned out pretty cute :)
