So I know I have been missing lately. We have been VERY busy and I haven't had time to sit down and write down all the goings on.
We celebrated our first Christmas with Luke! We had such a great time. Our holiday festivities started on Wednesday 12/23. We went over to our neighbors house for dinner before going to church. Our church did a service on the 23rd in addition to the regular Christmas Eve services. When we got to Church we met up with Lindsay and her family and friends. Luke got to stay with us during Worship but then we moved him to the nursery for the first time. He loved it! I was a little sad thinking he might want us during the service but apparently he was having way too much fun. After church we went to Lindsay's house for dessert. Had a wonderful time and she gave Luke the most awesome present, a wooden growth chart with his name on it and it has slots down the whole thing to put pictures in. It really is the coolest thing EVER!
Christmas Eve we went out and picked up some last minute things (mainly stocking stuffers for Jason and I). Then we went to my Grandmas to celebrate birthdays for Mike & Joy. We dressed Luke up in his Santa outfit from Jason's Aunt Sue. It was so cute! I had already bought him a Santa hat so we added that to the outfit and he made the cutest darn santa ever. He got to open one of his presents from Grandma and Papa. It was some maracas that light up and sing and say numbers and letters. He loved them! Luke fell asleep on the way home that night but that didn't last long. He was awake from 9:30 until Midnight. Seriously it was like he knew he was supposed to be excited because he was crazy. He jumped in his Jumperoo for over an hour while I wrapped some gifts (I love wrapping gifts so I like to break it up and do it over a few nights.) Then while Jason had to wrap a last minute gift for me I took Luke to our bed to try and get him to start to calm down but that didn't work for quite some time.
Christmas morning! We woke up and opened our stockings. Luke got a few different balls and some books in his. Then my mom and dad came over and we opened some presents before heading to my Grandmas. Luke really got overwhelmed. He just wanted to play with what was already open so we have 5 more gift that we are hanging on to for a little while.

What a crazy holiday season. We went to several parties all of which Luke was great at. For my holiday open house at work our friends Sara, Mike, and their baby boy Lincoln came for a visit from Florida. Lincoln was so darn cute! His eyes are the bluest I have ever seen they are so beautiful! Wish we could have seen them longer and let the boys play on the ground but they had lots of people to see out here in CA maybe next time!
