Christmas - Part 2

We got to spend a week at my dad's house over Christmas! It was great to spend time with family!

Luke was cute when opening gifts this year. He would stomp his feet and move his arms in excitement. He also seemed to enjoy other people's gifts better than his own. I didn't know envy would begin so young!

Christmas - Part 1

We were able to celebrate Christmas with John's family and my family this year! Christmas - Part 1 is our get together with John's family. We are so blessed to be able to celebrate our Savior's birth with both of our families!

The day included Katia playing for us on the piano, Uncle Pete taking the kids 4 wheeling, and of course, eating and opening of gifts!

Decorating for Christmas!

John and I had some help this year. Luke and Samson enjoyed helping us with the tree! This is going to be a fun Christmas this year! Luke is finally at the age where he gets excited for lights, music, and toys!

Thanksgiving - Part 2

We also celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family the day after Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for!

Below are some pictures of Luke with his pappy and with his cousin, Alex. In some of the pictures, you can see a creek that is in my dad's backyard. My dad was watching Luke one day, and Luke just walked right into the creek! He then just started splashing away! I guess he has a little more in common with his dog, Samson, then I thought!

Thanksgiving

I know it has been awhile! I am finally able to take a breath and update the blog!

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year! It turned out great! All of John's family was able to make it except for Brian and Heidi's family. We did miss them! Here are some photos from our first big event in our new place!

I smell a skunk!

Luke was a skunk this year for Halloween. These pictures are from the local library. They had story time, a parade, and finished the morning with snacks. Luke had a good time with his friends!


Luke also got to see one of his favorite dogs, Baby, dressed up! This year Baby was Darth Vader. I think Luke was a little afraid of Baby Darth. He whined and didn't want to tackle him like he usually does!

Tackeling Samson some more!

Luke cannot get enough of it! He loves to run into Samson and then roll on top of him. It is too cute!
