CHRISTMAS...PART II

I just had to add some more really cute pics....

CHRISTMAS

Christmas is the best! I love decorating, shopping, wrapping, and all those festive things! So we got a tree, decorated it and Luke LOVES it. It's almost as though he forgets how pretty it is....every morning when we turn the lights on...he opens his mouth with this huge 'OH MY' look. It really is adorable.

We had a couple gifts sent to us that needed to be opened right away...this is what Luke loved the most...the peanuts around the present. They were EVERYWHERE! So Dave and I were excited to set up for Christmas morning. Once we put Luke to bed....we started working. We had decided that since Luke loves balls...that we would keep to sports (and a little Elmo) this year. We bought him a basketball hoop and a soccer goal as the gifts sitting out from Santa:-) The red tricycle is from Grandma and Grandpa Breslin...he is trying so hard to get the hang of it! Christmas morning really was so exciting...Luke is so animated! We told Jesus Happy Birthday and then we opened our gifts.


Here is a picture before Christmas...heading out to a Christmas party...doesn't Luke look so excited?! He actually had a ball at the parties:-)

Oooo....one of the best things was seeing our friend Annaleese!

We are all thankful for the birth of Jesus!

The Christmas Story

If you've never seen The Christmas Story...it's a must watch:-)

We set off for a Christmas parade...so fun. I packed the warmest coat, hat, gloves, etc. for Luke. Once we got him all bundled up...he looked like the little boy from the movie who could hardly move because he was so bundled up. Luke didn't really get the whole glove thing...so when people would come up to give him candy...daddy gladly took it for him. Although he didn't know what to think of all the layers...he loved seeing all the lights, people, horses, and Santa!
