December is a big month for everyone, but having all of your family live out of town and add a birthday in the mix and it just gets a little crazy. The month flew by, but we had a blast and got to have a lot of family time. We had Ethan's one year pictures done two weeks before his actual birthday. I think this is a fun comparison...

Poor Lou, it was freezing outside and he hates to be cold. He looks miserable!
Ethan LOVES Lou! Lou tolerates him.
Our Christmas Card
All Ethan's Grandparents made it into town for his birthday
Happy 1st Birthday! We love you!
And this is what our family looked like on his birthday last year
(please excuse the post labor "I need sleep" face)
Pirate Party!
Opening presents with Daddy!
He LOVED everyone singing to him! This was by far the highlight of his day. He could have cared less about the cake. (The video of this is so cute, I need to get it off Shawn's computer)
We tried 3 different times this year to get a picture of Ethan not screaming with Santa,
Attempt #1... fail!
The third time was not a charm. Oh well, maybe next year!

New Years Eve... last family pic of 2009 and this was the best we could do!
Love all the pics! Looks like a fun and busy month! We have a lot of December birthdays in our family, so I completely understand all the craziness!
