Dashing Through the Snow

We traveled to Ohio to visit with family and celebrate Thanksgiving (and Christmas) this past week. We had a layover in Dallas on our way up and the second flight was quite bumpy. A little too bumpy for Ethan who got sick just as the flight ended.

There was a good bit of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday at the grandparents' house. The picture above pretty much sums up the enthusiasm level.

We were also able to visit with the great grandparents on the same trip and see lots of family. As the week wore on, Ethan became more and more fond of singing songs for anyone who would listen.

Our flight back on late Friday went much smoother and we even got home a little early. It wouldn't be a family gathering if we didn't come home with colds, so the kids are currently trying to recover. Pictures from the trip are in the photo album.

New Furniture

A couple weeks ago Ethan's furniture came in. He was doing so well sleeping on the mattress on the floor that we went ahead and set up the bed for him. He was very excited about it.

The newness of the "big boy bed" must be wearing off a bit, though, because he no longer insists on being tucked in with both the sheet and blanket regardless of the temperature.

Trick or Treat

Friday evening Ethan and Daddy went out trick-or-treating to a few nearby houses while Ella and Mommy sat on the front porch and passed out candy.

Ethan was pretty shy when it came to asking for candy but not so shy when it came to eating it.

Once we returned home we all enjoyed passing out candy. The street we now live on is much quieter than our old one.
