Christmas with Nana and Poppy

Santa Claus came a little early to Nana and Poppy's house this year. We had so much fun watching Ethan, Ella and Lilly open presents. The little ones make Christmas so special.

We kicked off the weekend with dinner at Benihana. Ethan loved the sushi! We actually had to order him a second round. Then we all went to see the play It's a Wonderful Life at the Arkansas Repertory Theater. Ethan absolutely loved it. We were all a little concerned about taking a rambunctious 3 year old to an hour and a half long play but he did so good!

The next day, Robert, Sarah, Ella and Lilly came over and we all opened presents. The kids got so many fun toys. Then we all tried to eat everything that Nana cooked up. As usual, we had entirely too much, but it was oh so good.

After a little after dinner napping we all packed up and went home. It was a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Ethan got to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas at our annual company Christmas party. It's so much fun because the same Santa comes to Ethan's preschool so he us the only Santa he had ever seen. Ethan is convinced he is the real deal. We have even seen him in Wal-Mart in regular clothes and Santa will give him a wink.

This year Ethan told Santa he wants a pig for Christmas. I don't think Santa is going to be able to pull that one off this year and Nana has been warned not to offer any assistance.Ethan has been so excited about everything Christmas this year.

He loves Christmas lights. Everytime we pass a house with lights he says, "That's awesome. I love it. It's beautiful!". He especially loved the drive through Christmas display in Pine Bluff. Every time we get a new present under the tree I get interrogated. Who is it for? Why? Where is my present?

Ethan calls Santa Miss Amistmas. He has really brought a whole new excitement to Christmas for us. I can't wait to see his face Christmas morning!
