Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was an absolute blast. Everett was really excited and into opening gifts. He is a huge Elmo and Yo Gabba Gabba fan, and anytime his gifts were those two he would say "Cool!". It was so funny. He is in a really big copycat phase so he is learning new phrases all the time.
Ok, heres some pics!

Christmas at my dads:

 

 Christmas Eve was just the three of us. We had snacks, watched a movie, put out cookies and milk for Santa, opened our Christmas jammies, and sang "Silent Night" to Everett before bed (he hated that, ha!). 

Christmas morning we let Everett open his gifts and stocking. We got him a few toys and a train table. 

 

(he looks so tired here!) 

 Later we went to my moms for brunch (i made the cinnamon rolls, and my mom cooks everything else, she is such a great cook!)

(his "AWESOME!" face!)

GIlbert Balloon Festival

Last Friday evening, after a busy afternoon, we went to the Gilbert Balloon Festival with some of Chris' co-workers (ok, his boss!). They had tickets and a parking pass and wanted to share with us! It was a nice evening. Everett had a lot of fun seeing the "boons" as he calls them! He also loved the fire, he actually is quiet fond of fire already...scary.
