Christmas Time

Recently when Jared and I went out of town we had a little visitor move in. Little did we know, we were in the presence of one of the world's smartest mice. Here is some evidence so you can see what I mean.


We discovered the mouse on Wednesday. The next day we set out multiple traps. A few days later we bought 2 additional types of traps and set those out as well. And here is what happened:


The mouse found this sticky trap on our kitchen counter. (And yes- that is Almond Roca. He had expensive tastes). He put a paw on it and discovered it was sticky, so he pushed the trap from the corner here....



to here, where he could stand on the easel and eat the Almond Roca without having to actually step on the trap.



Yes- he seriously did that. I am happy to say that the next day we finally caught him and our house is now mouse free. It was a Christmas miracle...



Since people keep complaining that we don't post enough pictures of Ethan, here we are at Temple Square on Christmas Eve:


It was FREEZING! But luckily, Ethan is a very good natured baby and he still enjoyed seeing all the lights.
