Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
We sure did. It was such a fun weekend. It has been a long time since we have spent a whole weekend down at home, and now that Ethan is older they are a lot more fun.
He had a great first Thanksgiving, and we had such a wonderful time with our families.
Our Thanksgiving festivities started early in the morning when we packed up to head down south.

We stopped by to catch the very very tail end of the annual Turkey Bowl that goes in our parents ward. At least we got to say hi to everyone. :]
We then hung out at the Butterfield's, ate Thanksgiving dinner with them. It was really great. :]
After, we went to the Yager Thanksgiving festivies, where Ethan got to be in his very first pageant!
(Videos don't upload, so pretend you saw it.)

The day after Thanksgiving we avoided all the craziness of Black Friday and played at home. Mom and Dad went out later in the afternoon and bought a new high chair for Ethan!

Later that night we went to check out the new sports store Scheels that opened in Sandy. We played dress up, and learned to spit bubbles with Uncle Kyle.

Saturday we went tree shopping with my family. We made the annual trip to Glover Nursery to get a Christmas Tree. It was Ethan's first Christmas Tree shopping experience, and he loved grabbing onto tree branches. We took more pictures of him then actually caring about the tree. :]

Saturday night we hung out with my family and ate lasagna. Ethan has had real trouble at night lately, and we are trying to get some sleep at our house. This was no exception over Thanksgiving Break, so we turned in early a lot of nights. We are hoping we are on the right track, and sleeping/night feeding will be a lot easier! Wish us luck!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hope everyone else did too! :]

First Halloween

This year was Ethan's first Halloween! (Obviously.)
We started early with a trunk or treat at Macey's grocery store on Saturday.

We then went down to Lindon to Aunt Carol's annual Halloween party. It was a long drive, but we wanted Ethan to be there since it was his first one. He was so cute in his Bee costume!

He loved playing with his cousin Trey. He laughed and laughed at him. It was so cute.

Ethan went fishing for the first time too! He got a cuddly bear outfit to wear in the cold winter months!! So awesome!

Then Monday  night we carved pumpkins.
This did not go as smoothly as I believed it would. Ha.
Ethan was grouchy, Troy was ambitious in his pumpkin carving and took forever (It looks awesome though) and I was speeding through mine to feed the baby. But, we all finished and they looked pretty good. :]

Troy in deep concentration carving his awesome USU bull.

For work we all dressed up as the Scooby Doo Gang. It turned out so cute!!

This is us at our Stake Trunk-or-Treat. We were so worried we weren't going to get to go, because earlier that morning Ethan had his 4 month shots.  He was so grouchy and sore, we didn't know if he would be up to going out. Luckily he woke up about an hour before and was pretty happy and did so good! We were so glad we got to go. :]

Tired Tired boy after a long day. He was such a trooper! Such a downer to have shots on your first Halloween, but he still got mom and dad lots of candy to eat!! :]
