CHRISTMAS!

Yay! Finally! Luke had been waiting to rip open the presents under the tree (he got to one a little early and I had to tape it back up). We had a great time, mostly watching Luke. We also went to Grandma and Grandpa's house Christmas Eve and Luke had fun playing the pinball machine. Christmas morning we went to Grandma and Papa's and had more fun there.

Luke's First Snowman

We went out today after we finally got some snow and made Luke's first snowman. Well, Ryan and I made Luke's first snowman. He didn't really want anything to do with the snow. He got very upset when Ryan put his beanie on the snowman, he was much better when he finally got it off of the snowman. It was still very fun. It was also a beautiful day.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Yesterday I was making icing for the sugar cookies and thought I would give a beater to Luke and see what happened. He LOVED it. He had both beaters for about an hour when I finally took them away from him.

Ol' St. Nick

We went to see Santa (the "real" one was in Nampa, ID). Luke had just gotten woke from a nap in the car, so he wasn't real excited. We at least got him to stop crying for the picture, but no smile to be found. It was still fun to go with Tami, Payton and Carrie.

Gingerbread Man

I thought it would be fun to let Luke decorate his own gingerbread man this Christmas. I think he had more fun licking off the icing.

Luke's Swimming Lessons

Luke first started swimming lessons at about 10 months old. So we have been going for about six months. I finally got some video of him. It is good that I waited this long because he has just started to like his lessons. He actually has fun instead of crying through the whole thing.
