Then Ethan offered to wash the dishes for me, how nice!! It was really his first time ever washing more than a couple of things. It was really helpful and good since it was just non-glass items.Dec-09 011Dec-09 012Dec-09 014

He was so happy washing them, too. He said he would do the dishes for me on Sat or Sundays now.

On Sat. night Ethan lost that loose tooth on the bottom. The one that the dentist said shouldn’t come out until he was 9 or 10. Yikes. Those darn adult tooth basically pushed it out of the way. poor kid is gonna need braces.

 

On Monday we had our girls holiday lunch at Gamba Ristorante. Such a nice place, loved it all!

I had tortellini and then tiramisu for dessert. It is the best tiramisu ever. I forgot to take a pic of all of us and then Holly had already left when I remembered. bummedDec-09 015  

 

While I was at lunch Monday, Trent took E to see Santa at the mall. In all the mall craziness. I received some funny texts from him.

T is wanting to take E to go ice skating. There is a rink they made downtown CP. T has ice skates from his hockey days. Well, he ended  up calling up a local ice rink place to see if they had used skates in a kid’s 13 and they did for the discount price of $30 ( i guess that was cheap to him?)  We went up there to see if they fit and they did.

T was happy to get his skates sharpen there, too. Well, E of course, wanted to go skating there then. Unfortunately there was a hockey team practicing, so no open skate at the time. When we walked into the big rink area Ethan commented that it was so cold in there.  I had to tell him to put on his coat.Dec-09 018Dec-09 017

I’m sure they will get back up there next week to try it out.

 

I have almost all my wrapping done just some more to wrap for Ethan.

Christmas Eve is at Trent’s parents house tomorrow. Let all our festivities begin – can’t wait!
