Luke's Diary: Our First Christmas

Dec 27

Written By Kristen

Hi Mommy's Blog Readers! I'm here to tell you all about our first Christmas! It was SPECTACULAR!

We did it over a couple days, and Uncle Ben and his girlfriend and our cousins Bodie and Bailee came, and Mama's Uncle David, and Daddy's best friend Tim, and Grandma Charlotte and Grammy and Grandpa. Everyone was so happy to be together!

Look at our outfits for Christmas Eve...aren't they awesome?

Shoes off for naps, just like always:

Here's Sissy and Bodie...Bodie loves us soooooo much!

And here's Bailee...she's super cool too!

Grandpa's been wearing this button the whole holiday season...I didn't get it until my mom explained, "Noel."

There were some presents on Christmas Eve...and me and Sis agree, the wrapping is just as much fun as the presents:

Look at the jumpy chair Uncle Ben got us! So fun! Especially for Sissy, who is jumping all the time anyways:

And Mommy's best friends Danielle and Jason sent this crazy bally rampy musicy toy...Grandpa and Bailee put it together for us:

It snowed all day but was especially pretty at night, with the lights Mommy and Daddy put on our fence sparkling:

And we saw Mommy decorate the table for Christmas Eve dinner, but Daddy said we weren't old enough this year because it was past our bedtime. Next year, he said. But we did hear everyone had a super good time, and there were crackers, and an awesome meal Daddy cooked with beef tenderloin and leg of lamb and vegetables out of Julia Child:

The next morning, everyone got up and went over in PJs to Grammy and Grandpa's. First we did stockings:

And then more presents, yippee! Sis and I had some help opening:

Check out the piano Mommy and Daddy gave us! It makes LOTS of noise hehehe...

And the bath towel made to resemble a shark:

While we napped, Mommy and Grandma Charlotte and Grammy and Mommy's Uncle David went for a walk. Mommy said it was BEAUTIFUL out, but too cold for babies:

And then, more presents! Here's the red wagon Grammy and Grandpa got us...Grandpa saw two kids riding in it when he and Grammy were in Amsterdam this fall and chased them down the street so he could find out where to get one. We looooove our new red wagon! Mommy says all spring and summer and fall we'll get to ride in it.
