A few Christmas pictures

Here is our little Christmas morning on the Saturday before we left for Utah. We opened all of the gifts from Eric's side of the family. Ethan got a great video game from Grandma Ursic. Just like his father, he loves his video games. Here are a few pictures of our trip. I was not very good at having my camera ready this vacation, so all the pictures from Utah were taken by my brother-in-law Scott. Hopefully he doesn't sue me for copyright infringements (I stole them off flickr).

"Here Sonja, YOU take this piece of paper, I'LL take your present."

Grandma's glasses

I promise he doesn't always have that pacifier in...Feed me Grandma!

Here are a few pics from our visit to BYU.
Ellen (my sister), Scott, and I took over the new alumni center. The alumni ballroom must be for alumni dancing right?

Here is my sister and her darling little Sonja. Aren't they beautiful?

ManaMana

Ethan loves You Tube! He has a few favorites that he asks for every day. His favorite right now is the Muppet's ManaMana song. He'll run over to me saying "ManaManaMaYeah?!? ManaManaMaYeah?!" as he nods his head in excitement. Which translates to "I want to watch the ManaMana video Mommy."
You can see the original Muppet video in the top right.

Vitamin E Deficiency

I have discovered that I have a major vitamin 'E' deficiency. Well, more like an imbalance. I am getting plenty, if not an overdose, of vitamin E1, but hardly any of the equally important vitamin E29. Have I seen a doctor about this you ask? No, actually that's the problem... Don't worry, I'll be okay. It just makes me pretty tired and irritable. And when I do get any vitamin E29 it seems like I don't take advantage of it, because I am distracted by all the vitamin E1 in my system. I'm really looking forward to this next week of vacation where I'll be able to dilute some of my E1 and concentrate on E29 a bit.

(I guess an overdose of E1 can't be too bad a thing... he's pretty charming.)

P.S.Thanks for the Christmas clothes Grandma Ursic!

Reading Time

Ethan got some blankets and snuggled himself in the chair yesterday. He was being pretty funny, so I tried to catch a minute on video. I need an invisible camera so he doesn't get distracted. I love how he gives the book a hug and then pretends to read it. So cute! if I do say so myself... :)

Ethan Tree

Ethan looks so excited every time he goes for our Christmas tree. I feel bad every time I have to tell him "don't touch". So last night I pulled out our little tree (courtesy of Grandma Ursic) and Ethan and I decorated it with his toys. He got such a kick out of it I think he forgot about the big one. We'll see how long that lasts.

That's why we had him!

Yesterday after church Eric found Ethan finally doing something productive. Ethan found the mop in the laundry room and dragged it over to the entryway to clean. This is quite impressive considering that I hardly ever clean the floors when he's awake. I didn't think he even knew what that mop was for.
