Christmas 2012


Wow. What a month it's been. Month and a half really. Between Luke's birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas, this momma is wooooooo out! We got the Christmas tree and decorations put up this weekend and got the house back to normal. I'm already missing all the decorations though...
 
I seriously took hundreds (not playin...) of pictures since my last post so I'm going to try to pick a few of my favs to sum up the last couple of weeks.

Two weeks ago we went to the doctor and had Luke's ear checked to make sure his ear infection was better. The doc said the infection was gone but they did a test that showed there was still fluid behind it. He said it should drain on it's own but to come back in a month to make sure. This was the Monday after the Sandy Hook shooting so we both wore green in honor of them.

This is my favorite part about behind a stay at home mom. I can take naps with him and rock him whenever I want to. One day he wont want me to do this anymore so I'm trying to soak up every moment like this I can get.
 Luke has been cutting a BIG molar! That thing has been trying to come in for weeks now and it looks painful. Poor thing.
 Playing in Daddy's boots!!!! I lowered him down into them and he thought it was the funniest thing ever!
Visiting with Aunt Michele in Linden for the Ponder Christmas. He threw up twice this evening and I'm still not sure why. He was either sick to his stomach and didn't feel well or he got overwhelmed with all the new faces and commotion. We ended up leaving early because of this and he feel asleep before I could even get him in his car seat. We got home, I got him to bed, and Levi went and got us Chinese food.
 The next day we went to the Shoptaw family Christmas at Aunt Mary's house. He found a piano AND an organ to play. He wasn't as crazy about the organ though because it was way loud, but he enjoyed flipping all the switches.
 Opening presents with Mama J and Poppy on Christmas Eve! He really had fun with the tissue paper!
 Headed to church! We went to the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service with Mama J, Poppy, Mimi Points, Laura, Lucas, Landry, and Reagan at FBC. This was Luke's first time to go to church and he did pretty good! At one point though we had all the big guns out at the same time: the iphone, Mickey Mouse book, and puffs. We really enjoyed it.
 Putting out milk and cookies for Santa!
 We had my family over for Christmas day. I'm really upset I didn't take more pictures. I guess I was too busy stuffing my face with all the yummy food we ended up having!
IT SNOWED ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!! I was so excited! The first thing we did was bundle our little snow bunny up and take him outside to play in it. Look at that sweet face.
We went outside right when it started snowing so there's not much snow on the ground in these pictures. Around these parts, if it snows, it snows for like 15 minutes... so I was trying to hurry and get out there, but it snowed for 4 hours so we went out again a little later and let him stand in the snow.
Christmas didn't end on Christmas! We opened presents from Uncle Lucas and Aunt Laura and Patty and Bill yesterday! He LOVES his little red wagon! I think he likes pushing it around the house just as much as he likes riding in it. 
I know I left a lot out, but that's what I get for waiting so long to write a new post. I promise I'll do better now that all the "festivities" are over.
