First Race! and other weekend activities.

Ethan, having been inspired by Bob's fanatical exercise regime, ran his first race this past Sunday.  He raced at the Jenny's Light 1K fun run in Los Gatos, and finished with a time of 8:52, which put him 20th in his age group (but he secretly thinks he won).

The happy competitor right before the big race.

We also attended the reopening of Terminal 3 at SFO airport - anything to do with airplanes and E is in!

We got to tour an airplane and go into the cockpit.

So excited to 'fly'!

Ethan has a cute co-pilot.

Then we headed to Bayfront park to watch the planes take off.

Christmas PJs

I've wanted to start the tradition of having Christmas pajamas for awhile now but I never seem to get around to them.  This year I made it a priority!  Also Ethan has been wanting matching clothes for awhile so I knew he would be excited.


We opened stockings on Christmas Eve (also a new tradition for us!).  The big stocking held the pjs, and we had a little stocking with goodies for Ethan to open afterwards as well.  Ethan was so excited he kept laughing and giggling while pulling out all the sweatshirts going 'Oh it's clothes!  and more clothes!'.  Then he realized that they all matched and he made us all wear them immediately.


The backs have our last name on them.  I made a set for Mike and family too since they were supposed to come for Xmas, but alas they didn't make it.  Boo.  It'll be Christmas in July for them.



After the stockings we went on a walk through the neighborhood to look at all the Christmas lights.  There is one street that is completely lit up and it was fun to see all the decorations!
