Although he was a little shy at first, Ethan eventually warmed up to Santa.


Ethan loves being Santa and giving us "things" if we've been good. When we ask him what he wants for Christmas he says, "Chocolate Milk".

This morning we woke up to snow. Steph and Ethan couldn't wait to build snowman-or should I say snowwoman.:)
And don't worry, the snow he's eating is fresh!:)

Here's Ethan & Matt with our gingerbread house. Ethan begged me for 2 days to make it. He couldn't wait.

We went to see the lights on Temple Square last night. It was cold, but a lot of fun! Here's Kathryn, Matt, Steph, Ethan, & Bob in front of an African navity scene. Afterwards we went home for hot chocolate and cookies.

You can't really see it, but behind us is a life-size Nativity Scene. It was great to reflect on the birth of our Lord and Savior. There is always such a great feeling on Temple Square this time of year.
