Wow, what a Christmas! Ethan was so excited to meet Santa, open his first present, and be with family! We had a blast preparing for the big day. We are all excited about sharing Christmas with Ethan for years to come! Garrett's big deal is "traditions". He and I put up the Christmas ornaments while drinking hot chocolate/apple cider, he gets a nutcracker each year, and watching Christmas movies on Christmas Eve. So Garrett's decided to start a few with Ethan...they'll have Santa pictures made together every year and then take Ethan to Build-a-Bear...this year he made Ethan a puppy named "Davidson".

..On the big day, Garrett showed Ethan what to do. First the stocking...
Next, open your presents...

We went to Arlington and spent time with family. 
Grandma & Grandpa Clary met Ethan for the first time...
It has been a big season of "Firsts". Grandad even gave Ethan a bath for the first time!
Other than the stomach virus Blayne, Garrett and I had during the holiday and then "sharing" it with dad & Jake (we are SO SORRY), it was a great Christmas. We can't wait till next year!
