Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!


Here are some overdue photos! MUCH has opened over the past 2 months!!!!! (in chronological order...)

Walking walking walking! Anya is FINALLY a full time walker!



Ethan celebrated his 4th birthday (Dec. 5) with a successful, Spider Man party at an inflatable park!

No, Anya had nothing to do with this black eye. :)






Ethan and Anya experienced their first snow! Ethan thinks it is the greatest thing! He will stay outside until I beckon him in with promises of hot chocolate. At first, Anya was very displeased with the snow phenomenon. Now, she seems intrigued in small doses.





Cookies and Christmas!!!!! GREAT DAY HAD BY ALL!


Take 2?








Ethan:
*Ethan has started to recognize more and more words. He is definitely on the road to reading! On the bad side, Jesse and I have quickly learned that we can no longer s-p-e-l-l in front of him.
*We have STARTED playing all sorts of games: connect four, yahtzee jr, jenga, memory as well as the usual candy land and chutes and ladders!
*We are finishing the first book of the Harry Potter series! (He is now Harry Potter, and he has decided that Anya is Hermione.)

Anya:
*She is walking!
*Anya is continuing to amaze us with her ever growing and precocious verbal abilities. She doesn't really speak Anyanese either. She is very clear putting 2 and 3 words together, and after she requests something, we beckon: "say the magic word." Anya responds, "PEEEEZ!"
*Anya follows instructions.



Harry Potter!
