Merry Christmas

Thursday, Dec 25, 2008WOW! What a day Ethan had today. He got up this morning around 9:00. First we did our little family Christmas. Ethan cared more about chewing on wrapping paper than he did his actual gifts. He showed interest in a few of his new toys. After that we fed him before getting him dressed so he wouldn't get food all over his Christmas outfit. We went over to Papa Jim's & Grandma Marcia’s about 11:30. He wasn't really sure what to make of all the noise, the people, & all the attention he was getting. It wasn't until most of the crowd left that he started to show off his skills of rolling around, smiling, & hamming it up for whoever would pay attention to him. He finally crashed around 2:30. Ethan was so tired that he didn't budge when I put his coat on, buckled him in, & loaded him into the car. We made a quick stop home before heading to our next location. We didn't bother taking him out of his carrier since we were only going to be home for about 15 mins. He slept all the way to Grandpa Franks & Grandma Judy's. We got there about 4:00. Of course Ethan woke up a few minutes later with a second wind. Grandma & Grandpa really spoiled him this year. I think he got everything he wanted. While Matt packed up the car Grandma gave Ethan a bottle then I got him changed into his PJ's before we headed for home. By the time we got home it was about 10:00. Ethan pretty much went straight to bed. His poor parents are worn out tonight. I am looking forward to climbing into bed & reading for a bit. I think Ethan had a great 1st Christmas. Tomorrow we get to do it all over again with Papa Paul & Grammy Nett and again with the rest of my family.
