Chris' parents just left after being here for the weekend. We had a great time, filled with lots of playing and shopping. One of the highlights for all of us was when we went to Mongo's Grill for supper. Ethan had been awake for about 4 hours by the time we got there (he usually can do max. 3 hours at a time), and was running on his tenth wind. Well, he was SO hyper!! Chris, his dad, and I were standing in line for our food, when we heard this loud screaming. It took a few minutes before it registered who it was; Ethan!! He was having the time of his life, sitting in the highchair, grinning from ear to ear, just shrieking. I think he's learned that people laugh when he does it and it eggs him on. He's going to be quite the entertainer, we can already see it.
Chris' parents have always loved Ethan and had fun with him, but it seems like each visit gets more and more fun as Ethan is getting to be way more enteratining and fun, himself. He loved all the attention and they loved all the interaction. We also decided to take some Christmas pictures, so I've posted them for you to see. (we're thinking we'll redo our family ones because we didn't get any really good ones)
I'm sad that Ethan doesn't get to see his grandma and grandpa more often, but we at least get to go there in just over a month at the end of December. I'm trying to convince them to move here. Once Ethan can talk, we'll have to teach him to turn on the puppy dog face and ask them himself. Maybe that will be more effective ;)

I hear ya - I would give anything to have even ONE set of grandparents close by for Annika (and me)! But I've found the visits when they live so far away are even more special - because you tend to spend really good quality time with them.
