December 2012 Part 3

Finally the Christmas post!  :)

 

December 24th

 

Luke is opening an early present from Aunt Courtney!

 

 

We had our big dinner on Christmas Eve because my dad was leaving Christmas afternoon (he had to be back at work...lame).

 

Me and Noah dishing up!

 

 

Luke sampled something...maybe the jello salad?  Ha ha.

 

 

 

Christmas Day

 

Checking out our stockings!

 

 

 

 

Showing Uncle Noah and Grandpa what he got.

Luke had fun pulling stuff out of the stocking.

 

 

 

 

Opening some books!

 

 

 

Time for the BIG stuff! Yay!

We also got Luke a zoo that comes with some animals and others that you can buy separately.  It's really cool!

 

 

Helping dad put the zoo together.

 

 

 

Our family Christmas morning!  Love us!

 

 

Kids and boxes!  :)

 

 

Brian opening his stocking.

 

 

He wanted a popcorn tub, so he got one. 

 

 

Luke enjoyed helping us open our gifts.

 

 

 

Cute bear socks for mom!

 

 

We then went to my sister's and her fiancé's house for the afternoon.  We had more fun opening gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It started snowing so we ran out for a picture!

 

 

 

Luke loved this kitty from Uncle Noah!  He chased it around the living room!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke was definitely spoiled again!  He's had so much fun playing with all his new toys!

 

The snow continued to fall and it was sticking.  We were so excited as we'd never had a White Christmas before!  Sadly we didn't bring "warm coats" to my sisters so we look pretty cold.  Thankfully Luke didn't get sick from his few minutes in the snow.  He thought it was great!

 

 

 

Merry Christmas from the Ingram's

Another shot of our family!  My sister's dog is in the background.

 

 

Luke passed out on the way home.  Too much Christmas fun!

 

 

Since it was dark when we got home, I wasn't able to get pictures of the snow at our house until the next day, but it looked so beautiful!  I loved getting snow!

 

 

 

Here's a couple of shots to close out the year.  :)

 

Luke's crazy bath hair

 

 

Mommy and Lukey love!  It's my favorite!

 

 

 

 

That's all for 2012.  Lots more to come!

December 2012 Part 2

December 10th

 

Brian took a day off and we went to an Aquarium in Grapevine.  Luke had a great time seeing all the fishies! It was so fun to see Luke so excited!  Enjoy the great pictures of our day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The aquarium was attached to the mall so we walked around there as well.  Luke had to sit on the little ride they had.

 

 

 

 

It was a great day!

 

Luke eating jello.  What a mess!  Maybe I should have taken his clothes off first...?  :)

 

 

 

We have a climber.  He's scaling the chair!

 

 

 

 

December 15th

 

We celebrated an early Christmas with the Ingram's.  Luke had fun trying to rip the paper.  He got many great things from the Ingram's and Heppell's.  Lucky kiddo!

 

 

Bear blanket!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday smiles with Luke!  He's the cutest!
