Merry Christmas!

We recently spent a morning with the Sand family at Wacky Bounce. Nick carried around a red ball the entire time. I think us adults have a little more fun there than the kids do....


So we took Nick to see St. Nick at the Corvallis Country Club. He LOVED Santa. More than last year! Santa came in and Nick shot out of his chair and charged toward Santa. Other kids were closer and beat him to Santa, but Nick patiently waited his turn. He saw that Santa had Candy Canes, so when asked what he wanted for Christmas, Nick said "Candy Cane". He even had Santa unwrap it for him.






Eating the now gooey candy cane. Smile for the camera! Big !


Bigger!



Biggest Smile!



Nicks personality just amazes us. He keeps us all laughing everyday. We had dinner with the Sand family the other night, and the boys jumped off the couch over and over again until Jeff was red and Nick's hair was wet with sweat. Jeff used to try to hug Nick and Nick would just look at him like "get away from me man", this last time Nick was trying to hug Jeff and Jeff kept saying "I don't want to". We were listening to them talking and discussing what they were going to do next, like jumping off the couch while twisting in the air. We heard Jeff say "Oh no, are you okay?" and then Nick reply "Do it again!"

Right now, Nick loves Mac and Cheese, knows his left from his right, wants to know what street places are on (borders, home, grandmas house, petco, etc) and remembers them. He also teases alot, like saying "mommy is a cute boy" then he laughs and says "mommy is a cute girl". A little while back, I didn't shut the garbage can lid all the way and Nick saw that. He came up to it, shut it, looked at me and said "Silly mommy".

When everyone was leaving from Thanksgiving Nick told them all "Thanks for coming to Nicholas's house!" He is also not a mint fan like his Grandpa and daddy and every time there is football on TV he walks by and says "Go Beavs!" and keeps walking by. Last week he kept saying to my mom and I "want wed on" we kept thinking he was saying "want red one" and referring to his toy car. He finally looked at us and said "put lid on it", knowing that we weren't understanding him and he needed to put it a different way

We are really looking forward to Christmas this year. Nick has been great with the tree in the house. He has certain ornaments he is allowed to take off the tree and redecorate with. Every night when we come home from Grandmas house we take a different route home to look at the lights on the houses. Nick is such a joy and a good little boy. We enjoy every moment with him and miss him greatly when we aren't around him. We're hoping to take him sledding somewhere soon!

I didn't get Christmas cards out this year. But the blog is kind of like a year round update! Merry Christmas everyone and wishing you all a wonderful 2010!

Love,Mike, Staci, Nicholas and Mashka
