Well here we are, the last update for the year. It's been a busy month and only a few more days until Christmas. We took Easton for his annual picture with Santa Claus at Garden City Mall. He was a lot better this year than last year, but you can see by his expression he's doing this for us. He did tell Santa what he wants for Christmas and has some easy requests that Santa should be able to pull off. Blue socks and pull up underwear.

He likes getting dressed / undressed himself and sometimes even changes his own diaper. He's even gone on the potty at home which is new for us. He's been doing that for a while now at day care, but always put up a fight when we tried to get him to go at home. Thankfully he's coming around. He's been talking a lot more and using a lot of new words.

Easton loves shoveling the driveway for some reason too. I guess that's actually a good thing, but he makes me help and do most of the work. We also just put up our Christmas tree. Easton helped decorate then got to stay up a bit later to watch the snow plows and front-end loaders clean our street. He really, really, really, enjoys watching those things. That's about all for now. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Take care,
Mark, Tami and Easton
