Happy Half-Birthday Ethan!

Today you are officially 6 months old!  What is your big present to celebrate this occasion?  Cereal!  Time to introduce a spoon to you and a mop to mom and dad!

Ethan's Baptized!


This Christmas, Ethan was baptized!  His Godparents, Uncle Nick and Aunt Kate, did a great job and my Aunt, Grandparents, and Cousins looked on so proudly. 


The proud parents.



Afterwords, his Grandpa treated everyone to a delicious celebration!  Ethan was just excited to have somewhere else to go all dressed up.



You can view more pictures of the baptism and the video here.

First Christmas as a Family of Three

The 22 hour drive was worth every minute.  We had the most incredible visit with our family in Florida; filled with laughs, great food, and love! It was the first time for many to meet Ethan, and he loved every minute of the attention!




Ethan's Aunts showered him with love and tickles.


He was shocked at how many gifts he was showered with! 
Someone must have told the family that he had been a very good boy!

 
Opening them all really wore him out!  Good thing his Godfather Nick nearby.



As Italians, we of course had to celebrate the occasion with a delicious feast. 


But, the best part was when the boys did the dishes.  


All tuckered out, it was time to return home.  To see more of our holiday memories, view album 1 or album 2.
