December is such a busy month! So much to blog, yet so little time! I will have to abbreviate.
Firstly, as promised, here are some happier pictures of Evan in his Halloween costume:
Firstly, as promised, here are some happier pictures of Evan in his Halloween costume:
To start the month out, we went to visit Evan's Godfather down in Florida. We got to play on the playground in his subdivision, which he really enjoyed. The only thing better than just playing with Mommy & Daddy, is playing with more people, like Jason!
The neighborhood just happened to be having a garage sale that day, too, so on the way home we got a booster seat for him to sit on for $1. How lucky! It was an interesting trip being as he didn't have many places to sit and roll around on. This chair was probably a little old for him, but he was strapped in and always next to us. He felt like such a big boy!!
We also got to go swimming. The crazy Flordians thought it was cold....all running around in sweaters and coats and shivering. Wussies.
We also got to go to the beach for Evan's first time! Jason knows I like hunting for seashells, so he took us to a beach that he knew about that never combs the sand. It is literally COVERED in seashells!
Evan liked the seashells, too!
It was a lot of fun, and I had a ton of fun playing with my camera!!!
Since we've been home from Florida, I spent a lot of time cleaning my house so that we could do a progressive dinner with my neighborhood friends and their husbands. It was a lot of work, but worth it, because I had a lot of fun, and I got my house clean which has been a long time goal for me.
Just a few days ago, we took Evan's Godmother, Becky, and her husband, Jared, to the airport so that THEY could go to Florida :o) Apparently Evan really talked it up! :o) (and no, Jared is not related to Dustin- for the record. lol. Everyone was asking us that at our wedding.)
After dropping Becky & Jared off, we promised Evan he could tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Evan was really excited to see Santa. We've been talking about him for a while. He knows all about how he uses magic to go to every good little boys and girls' house and put presents under their trees while we are all sleeping. He's now officially a big Santa fan.
The following pictures look NOTHING like the ones when I first met Santa....
"Check it out, Mom! I'm hangin' with SANTA!"
"Hey, Santa! Did you get my letter I sent about the toys? Mommy says I need clothes and practical things, like a cool mist humidifier for my bedroom...but really, I think I need toys....."
"...but seriously, Santa. Nothing but toys, toys and more toys! Or I will come to the North Pole and TRACK YOU DOWN and take away your cookies!!!"
(Santa gave him an ornament...he liked that, even though it wasn't a toy...well, I guess that depends on who you ask. ....Though, I wouldn't give an infant an ornament that just threatened to take MY cookies!)
After seeing Ol' St. Nick, we watched the Choo-choo train go around in a circle, that was SO COOL! :o)
Overall, we THINK he had a good time! :oD
Now onward to Christmas!
