Things have been mighty busy this month, so I'm using that as the reason the blog has yet again been neglected. So here's a nice round up of all the things we've been up to this season.
The first Christmas activity we attended was a party with all of Ethan's buddies complete with a secret Santa gift exchange. Ethan has really started to like interacting with his friends and he enjoyed getting together with everyone, and of course getting his first present of the season.

That evening we headed down to the capital for their tree lighting and holiday sing-a-long. We've never done this before, and while it was no Rockefeller Center, it was okay. It was pretty uneventful, though. We heard a few Christmas carols, saw the tree, and then took a stroll down Congress Avenue admiring the lights.

Another activity we did this year was a Christmas Cookie exchange. Well, I did it actually, and it was my first ever. I'm not really a sweets person, but I knew two guys who would be all over getting six dozen cookies. Their faces when I came home with my stash was totally worth it, and then they got right to work.

We also had a house guest the week before Christmas, my good friend Kathy, so we had to drag her along to a timeless Austin tradition. She was sad to find out the Trail of Lights was no more, but we enjoyed a bit of the Zilker Tree. Ethan LOVED the spinning part. I'm just glad we decided to eat dinner after visiting the tree, things could have gotten ugly.

| Spinning. Blurry, but I still love it. |

So that's a little bit of what we've been up to. More Christmas posts to come.
