Listen Very Carefully

Ethan has recently taken up whistling, which I can't even do. It's really hard to hear in this video, so listen close!

All Decorated

For those of you who don't get to have a tree this year, you can just look at my blog, maybe it will help you feel like you have your very own. Anyway, I finished decorating it and just thought I'd share what it looks like. I'm definately no craft queen, and we had a budget of about $10 so I had to work with what I could... here are the final results.
Merry Christmas everyone! We can't wait to see you all for the Holidays!

O Christmas Tree

We had a wonderful thanksgiving break. Thursday we drove up to Olympia to celebrate with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. It was a wonderful meal and a fun-filled day. Ethan was very tired by the end and slept the whole way home. Friday was Steve's favorite day because he loves a good bargain. I tried to convince him that just because it was a great deal didn't mean that we needed whatever item he wanted to buy. We did go to Walmart and get some great DVDs for $3, including Dumb and Dumber... (according to Steve, this one IS a necessity). Saturday we went and cut down our Christmas tree. It smells so yummy in our apartment, I wish I could attach a scratch-and-sniff for you (maybe one day computers will be that advanced). We only have it part of the way decorated, but with a tree as beautiful as ours, you don't need many decorations. We had a lot of fun with our second year of our tradition, and will be sad when we aren't in Oregon and have to get something other than a Nobel Fir. Anyway, here are some of the pictures of our tree.

Red Sunset Park

We decided to go and check out a new park today. We want to go find a new one every Sunday, but since it's getting into the rainy season, it'll just have to depend on the weather. Anyway, today we went to Red Sunset park, it has a nice path that goes all around it (could work for rollerblading :) and it has a duck pond and a swing and slide and bridges and gazebos. Ethan really enjoyed the ducks and the swings... I'm still trying to decide if Ethan had more fun, or Steve. They spent most of their time chasing the ducks around to make them fly. It was probably really annoying to the people trying to feed the ducks, but we were having a good time. Ethan also loved the swings, he thinks they're hilarious... so does Steve :)
