Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! This year was a lot of fun for us. Ethan was extremely excited about all of the gifts under the tree. And it was Collin's first Christmas!
Here are the boys all dressed up for church on Christmas Eve. Ethan loved wearing his tie!
Here he is leaving cookies & milk for Santa, a carrot for the reindeer & chocolate for Rudolph! And of course enjoying a cookie himself!
I was totally expecting Ethan to go nuts & tear into all his gifts this year, but little Mr. OCD took his time opening every package & made sure every piece of wrapping paper was off! Then had to play with every item for a little while before moving onto the next gift. Collin was really getting into unwrapping his gifts. I wasn't sure if it was going to be too overwhelming for him, but he was very excited!
Ethan loves jammin on his new guitar! And Collin got a little piano so they can jam together!
Santa brought the boys a riding lawnmower, that they both think is great!
Ethan was very excited to see that Santa ate all the cookies & left a letter thanking the boys for leaving goodies. And of coarse noticed that Santa left a crumb mess on the table. (OCD!)
Here's Ethan & Daddy doing some yard work with Ethan's new weed-wacker & leaf blower! Oh and can't forget the safety goggles! Saftey First!
A few days before Christmas Ethan insisted that we needed to make Reindeer antlers for everyone to wear for Christmas.
Here's Aunt Kari & Uncle Beau sporting their antlers!
And Grammy & Grampy wearing theirs too!
Oh, by the way. . . . .
Thanks a lot Grammy & Grampy for the lovely Drum Set!
Actually it's not as bad as I was expecting! And he's actually pretty good! And I've even caught Daddy playing it a few times!
We hope everyone had a great Christmas. And we wish everyone a safe & happy New Year!

The riding lawnmower and drum set are AWESOME! Can't wait for our visit to Herkimer next month so we can play with the cool toys! Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend! And Fred better be prepared...the Dolphins are playing at 1pm :-)
I love that Ethan made everyone wear reindeer antlers! Wow, you got a LOT of noisy stuff - hope you got some ear plugs! Looks like the boys really made out!
It looks like you guys had a fun Christmas!! Cool riding lawnmower and great drum set! Simon would love both! The reindeer antlers are too cute! I love the photo of Ethan and Collin in their Christmas Eve outfits - such handsome boys!
It looks like you and the boys had a wonderful Christmas! I'm sure that the boys are loving the riding lawnmower! What a cool toy! And don't you just love all the noisy toys, musical instruments no less! I'm with Destini - I hope you have some ear plugs!
I loved the pictures on Facebook and as I said the family shot of you all in your antlers is one for a frame on the mantle! I am so happy to hear Ethan and Preston are both total OCD. Preston cannot pass a door without closing it! And saw the "crumb" left by Santa, picked it up and ate it. The boys looked like they had a wonderful Christmas!
Oh my gosh! The weed wacker and leaf blower set picture is too cute! I bet they are really going to have a great time jamming together with the piano and guitar! Looks like the boys had a very Merry Christmas! Happy New Year to you all too!
What a great Christmas you had. I love the antlers idea! I am going to add you to my blog roll if tha tis alright.
Jennifer!
What a great update - how nice of the grandparents to buy a drum set - ahh! Make sure you take that one with you next time you visit :0) I love that Ethan notices Santa left crumbs - classic!
