CHRISTMAS

This is what our drive way looked like the day we left for Idaho.
Luke was fascinated by the snow. He thought he could climb up on it,
but when he just fell through and got stuck in the cold stuff, he certainly
did NOT like it anymore.

Luke's grandma had lots of things to spoil Luke with.
These things included a new trampoline for him to jump his heart out.
My civil engineer brother put this together.
You can see that my electrical engineer husband had to come fix the
civil engineer's mistakes.
Don't worry, we got the trampoline, all figured out.

Christmas morning came quite early for Luke.

He thought 5 am was an appropriate wake up time.
So we spent alone time with the tree waiting for everyone else to wake up.

Luke wasn't so in to the opening of presents.
He liked his presents once they were opened for him though.

The whole family in front of the Christmas tree,
missing a few people who couldn't make it.

Our family photo in front of the tv,
Luke wanted to go play with his toys instead.

Luke loved the trampoline.
He would climb up and jump all the time.
It is the perfect size for him!

Christmas dinner set-up

Luke enjoying some mashed potatoes and gravy.
Who wouldn't love grandpa's famous mashed potatoes?
Gilbert was enjoying the leg of the turkey.

Bella and Luke enjoying the trampoline together.
They were 2 peas in a pod.
They fought over Bella's present, a shopping cart.
It was hilarious to watch them battle.
