Best Christmas Moment 2008

Luke had on his best Christmas day outfit for a day full of parties. He hair was neatly coiffed and his socks matched his ensemble. As he is now rejecting any progress he was making with the potty he proceeded to jam himself behind my aunts couch to hide the fact that he was pooing. As the continued absence of Luke prompted a search party and might mean that he might actually have to sit on the potty, he deciding that jamming himself even further behind the couch might stop this from happening. What happened to his Christmas outfit was an atrocity. All the squishing and wiggling behind the couch led to a sweater full of Christmas joy. Thanks to Jared for hosing him down and changing him. Luke then spent the rest of the day in a 18 months old pajamas that hit him at the shins...just perfect for those Christmas day pictures. =) Here's a pic of the pajamas and Belle gussying up Luke for the big day.

On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day.

This year's Christmas was my favorite yet with Lucas. He was so excited for Santa to come and even got the idea that Christmas was Jesus' birthday. He keep asking me "Where Jesus' birthday cake?" He also wanted to know if Jesus was going to blow out candles and where his presents were? He asked Santa for a skateboard (a wide scooter) and was completely confident that Santa would deliver.

Last week Luke & I accompanied Jared on one of his trips to San Fran. We stayed with a friend and saw the sights and enjoyed the weather above freezing.

Clothes shopping in Union Square.

Our first time on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Lucas & Jared very statue like.

'Tis the Season

We've slowly been decorating the house for Christmas this year. Even though the morning sickness has eased up a bit, I can't seem to get that umph back to get things done in the day. Well, the other day we hung the stockings on the fireplace and also watched the Grinch on TV. After we were done Luke told me "I get something" and ran into the other room. He came back with a few new pairs of socks I recently got for him and added them to the collection. It makes perfect sense to me. I love watching Luke's train of thought. I can almost see the wheels turning in his head. Ooooooo, I want to squish him!
