Understatements

Ok, so to say that I'm excited about the holiday season is an absolute understatement. Whoever knows me knows that I ADORE everything holidays. Christmas especially, but the whole holiday season (November 1-Jan 1) I absolutely bubble over with enthusiasm!
This Christmas is going to be extra awesome because it's my baby's first Christmas! I've already started my Christmas Countdown planning (found here) which I've done for the past four years. This plan is the organizational freak's DREAM! It breaks down Christmas planning over five weeks and you can pretty much tweak the plan to fit your own traditions and customs. I could not coordinate Christmas without this!
I also just got Ethan's first Thanksgiving and Christmas outfits! Cute! I'm sure when he's a teenager and I'm showing his new girlfriend pictures of his first Thanksgiving complete with turkey comb beanie cap he's going to loooove his mama! It's the price he pays for having a dork as a mom. :-)

Speaking of first holidays we had an awesome first Halloween with him! His shirt says "I Love My Mummy"! Too stinkin' cute. Adam carved the vampire pumpkin (inspired by my four week long reading session of all the Twilight books...I put it off as long as I could!) and the spider is by moi! We had a fun day and did trick-or-treating for twenty minutes before it got too cold for Ethan to be out and about. I can't believe that next year he'll be walking and able to say something along the the lines of "trick or treat!" Time is going by unbelievably fast!
