Another Christmas has come and gone. I can't believe how fast the holiday season passes by. We had a very fun Christmas. It is so fun to experience Christmas through the eyes of a child. Ethan had a great time looking at all the Christmas lights on our frequent evening walks. He also loved the Christmas trees everywhere and would say "no, no, no" while shaking his hand whenever he saw one. I guess he got our message pretty clearly that he couldn't touch the trees:) He really got the hang of opening presents too and by the last gift opening experience he was ready to open every one's gifts.
On Christmas Eve we had our own family Christmas. It was fun to see Ethan open his presents and play with them. We're looking forward to starting more Christmas traditions as a family. Ethan had to check his new cars out very closely.
Here is Ethan opening one of his presents from Opa and Oma Schenk.
The day after Christmas we had dinner and opened presents with my family. I gave my sister a photo album with engagement, pre wedding and wedding photos. She's not the picture collector type, so she really enjoyed it.
Ethan helped Papa and Nana open their present from the kids.
Ethan got a huge dump truck from Auntie Kara and Uncle Eric. He's signing "thank you" to them in this picture and getting a ride in the photo below.
We had a great Christmas and feel so blessed to have family and friends to celebrate with. This past weekend we went to Monterey with my family. I took pictures on our new camera (one of our Christmas presents) so as soon as I get what I need to upload the pictures on the computer I'll post those pictures.

I am glad we were able to spend the new year with you guys and Ethan is such a cool kid. Kevin and I will try to let you girls win next time we play cards.
