Christmas!!!
We've made a tradition of avoiding the crazy crowds on black Friday and instead staying home putting up our Christmas decorations together. It was the perfect day to stay in and snuggle, the weather was chilly out and dew clouded up our windows.

Ethan got an early gift on Thanksgiving from his family in Brazil: a really cool book/puzzle that pieces together to make a track so a tiger can spin around making a tour of the jungle animals.

After Daddy set it up for him, Ethan sat playing with it for most of the early afternoon. While Ethan kept busy playing, Mommy and Daddy drank homemade hot cocoa from our holiday mugs while watching some classic Christmas movies.

You may have noticed that we only decorated the top half of our tree. You see this adorable smiling face on our sweet baby boy? Yeah, well he's trouble and likes to tear down the ornaments and slam them on the floor until something breaks. While we were setting things up yesterday, we had to send an elf to the emergency ornament repair shop for some super glue to fix a broken leg and foot. So, we figured that it would be safest to keep the trimmings above Santa's belt until...well, it will probably be a few years until we get to decorate the whole tree again.
