Our little cleaner

Ethan has recently been obsessed with cleaning. He really likes to vacuum the kitchen floor, and if anything is out of place he lets us know! Now, if we an only get his sister to follow suit.....

Cabin Fever

This is one Monday night I was trying to make dinner and not loose my mind! Chad was working late and Ethan would not stay off the counters then he climbed int he sink and helped himself to some crackers. It kept him busy for a couple of minutes.

First Haircut

Ethan got his first haircut on December 30 just in time for the New Year. He sat really well as long as he had his snack trap with Cheerios in hand. Darlene Olson cut his hair at Kids Hair in Apple Valley, I have know Darlene for several years, she lives near Merredith's mom. I was sad to see his curls go and took several pictures of them that day at home. Paige at one point said, "Mom why are you so sad? Darlene will cut them and put them in the envelope, you will still have them." It was very cute.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! We hosted some of my family and Chad's sister and nephew for Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas Day at Pam's house. Paige and Ethan had fun opening presents. It was a wonderful Christmas!

Cookie weekend

The First weekend in December we made the annual trek to Merredith's family cabin for cookie weekend at the Lake. We made many dozens of cookies. This was Ethan's second cookie experience and he was more interested in playing with Jaxon and the fact that Judy let him walk around the house with food. Ethan also got to play outside in the snow for the first time.
