we are feeling pretty festive around here




















best birthday gift ever (he's even better than santa)

brutus!  this one!
adding the stuffing (with some eli help)


add the buckeye heart

ohhhhh brutus!  you' re mine!

ethan tells brutus that he is coming home with him to live at his house! 

"santa...here is my list..."

eli jumped right in and showed santa his 2 page (my writing) wish list

smile

santa then reminded eli that this was only a suggestion list for santa and not all these toys would be under his tree come Christmas morning (thank you santa!) 

meanwhile...ethan stayed glued to me with not an inch given towards santa.  not even with my bribery of "santa has chocolate to give you."  nice try!

he  finally ran with a swiftness to grab his chocolate and retreated just as fast.  no time to even attempt to get a photo near the man.  not this year!

hospital delivery

eli did his good deed.  last birthday (yes that would be over 6 months ago) eli had his preschool buddies donate money instead of give him presents so that he could buy gifts to give to kids in the hospital.  we thought it fitting to purchase loveys for OSU NICU babies in honor of ethan.  we finally delivered them with all the pirates that his friends decorated.  thanks to everyone who participated! it was a nice kick off to national preemie month! (oh...and we gave the nurses, doctors and staff some rice crispy treats in honor of halloween).  these little pirates were a hit!

yummy chili

the boys enjoyed some good warm chili on a cold autumn day!  yummy!
