Finally Catching Up...

So, I know it's over a month late, but I thought some may still appreciate seeing pictures from this Christmas...

Our friends Rachel and Sara Passman (and Mo too) came over for a visit before we took out for Christmas vacation! It was great to see them and Ethan was much more excited to see them than this picture below lets on ;-)


This year for Christmas we went to ABQ, New Mexico where Mom and Dad Grusy live. As these next pictures are sure to demonstrate, this Christmas was "all about Ethan". Ethan definitely wasn't lacking in getting much attention from a family who loves him very much. He has no idea how blessed he is! Chris and Stephanie meet Ethan for the first time. They are great with him and clearly demonstrated that they would be fully capable of taking care of a little one of their own! ;-) No pressure you guys. But I do think Ethan would love a little playmate soon.Grandpa and Grandma Wittler met Ethan for the first time as well.As did Grandma Diane! Ethan has some amazing, loving great grandparents!Here is Grammy Grusy with her favorite grandson. :) I love this picture!Uncle Chris was great with Ethan and seemed to definitely "have a way with him"Although Mom and Dad Grusy easily share other things , when it comes to Ethan, it is hard. :-)"Hey Aunt Steph and Grammy can you please help me? Life as a baby is so much harder then I thought it was going to be!"

CHRISTMAS DAY:

Here is the cute Christmas outfit that Grammy Grusy gave me. I wore it to the Christmas Eve service and thought I was looking pretty cute."Mom, are you kidding me? You want me to wear this in public?!" Thanks Shelley and Stephen for the super cute Christmas outfit.Christmas morning...
talking on web cam to the Harrys
Chris and Steph made some amazing cream cheese bread that Chris's family usually has every Christmas! It was very tasty! I could have easily had a whole bread to myself. Opening presents...Here is my good looking, fashionable Husband! Looking good hon!! :-)Family Photo.
Thanks Grusys for such a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed our time there in ABQ very much!! Thanks for making it a special time for all of us. We love you all so much and are thankful to God for blessing us with such an incredible family.

Ethan didn't have any gloves, so Aunt Kelli kindly offered hers. They fit perfectly. :)

I love this sleeping baby face of Ethan's

Too many CUUUUTE pictures!! I love it! Looks like such a great Christmas - Ethan Bear is my favorite, but it's close in competition with him in front of the Christmas tree...what a stud!

Love you guys! The McMurrays
