Ethan decorated most of this gingerbread house. It was fun to watch him be so meticulate about where each piece went. In fact, this is a favorite characteristic about the E-man. He is so particular about things. If something is out of place or not straight or not exactly how he likes it, he gets so frustrated. Serious OCD! (Aren't we all in some way?) Today, for example, we were building with megablocks. If the single blocks weren't matched up exactly perfect, meaning stacked directly on top of each other without any showing at diagonals or whatever, he would start crying. Steve and I say that he may drive himself crazy someday. The other funny thing about Ethan is that he hates sticky stuff on his hands. Any time he got frosting on his hands, he let us know that he did not like it and screamed for a napkin!
Ethan already loves to work like his dad, so he just had to go and work with Grandpa in the leaves. (He did a lot of watching.) We had a fun trip in Utah for Thanksgiving.
The Annual Turkey Trot. Ethan liked walking by himself, thereby leaving me walking beside him with the ever-classic empty stroller. Steve carried him on the shoulders a few times too.
Mom got a special "kid table" that Ethan was so excited to sit at for T-giving (contrary to the face in the picture). He had a great time watching his cousins and having them help him. It was all okay until one of the cousins started showing Ethan the knife and all the things it can do. Hmmmm.
A great big shout out to Dad for the tickets and to the Cougars for quite the show against the Utes. Oh it was so fun to be back in P-town. What a place! It was even more fun when the Cougs beat the Utes in the final seconds of the game, AGAIN!
After the said game mentioned above, we went to the Messiah Sing-Along with the family and ushered in the Christmas season. Fab music, fab company, fab seats! (Tired couple/parents - us.) May Thanksgiving in "Zion" always be so glorious!!

Darling pictures! I love Ethan at the table with cousins! That is so cute! Way to go on the gingerbread house Ethan!!!
It seems like you guys had a great Thanksgiving this year! It's always fun to get together with family! Ethan has displayed some great talent decorating the gingerbread house. I think it is very cool that he is particular about things. It's a sign of intelligence for sure, if you ask me.
I didn't know you had a blog!! YAY! CONGRATULATIONS, by the way! I had no idea baby #2 was on the way. You guys are great. I love the picture of Ethan with the GGB house. Have a Merry Christmas!
Not even kidding when I say Ethan is a miniature Krista. Adorable!
Hopefully we can meet up for Christmas in Yakima!
What a fun Thanksgiving! How lucky to go to the big game. Riley is just as OCD as Ethan when it comes to sticky stuff on her hands.
Hooray for holiday fun! Ethan is the cutest little boy ever. I cant wait to see your next little one.
Cute blog!
Oh...I love little Ethan! Ethan, I think your gingerbread house is amazing.
We have thought of your family several times over the past year. We hope all is well.
