Tis the season

Christmas Eve - I made Gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce and chicken for Steve. Between that meal and the freezer of Buster Bars, I think he had a yummy Christmas :) Luke got a couple gnocchi and Luna was eager for him to drop them!


Here he is opening his stocking on C. Eve. We just fill stockings around here. Luke's was full of big serving spoons and rubber spatulas this year. Definitely the cheapest Christmas Steve and I will ever be able to get away with...he LOVED them!


Gma Jackie and Gpa Nick got Luke this wonderful rocking horse. He really likes it and it is super fun to watch him go for a ride.



Napping mid-day with his fav buddy Curious George. He slept from 11-2 and so did mom and dad - yippee - resting up for an awesome second half of Christmas fun.


I often think that Luke's favorite being on earth is Star...Uncle Glenn at least ties her for tops in Luke's book. He LOVES his Uncle Glenn. What a treat to watch the two of them together. We got to visit with him several times and even take a couple of hikes with the dogs...the weather has been WARM the last couple of days so the dogs are wiped from all of the outdoor fun.


I want to try some asparagus, mom! He loved it - double fisting the stalks right off of my plate AND I never did smell it again in his diaper...interesting


Loving helping Gma Susan play some carols. She is soooo patient with him. He kept turning the pages and pounding on keys, but she just kept smiling and playing. cute


Love is in this photo - Gma Susan and Gpa Paul hosted a wonderful Christmas dinner. Gpa made the best beef tenderloin ever (Gpa Nick and Steve both rolled home) and Gma Jackie made delicious lasagna. The company was great and everything added up to a phenomenal first Christmas for our little guy.
