On the eve of Christmas Eve

We spent the morning playing at the toy store with some friends. We ran some errands, and got the dogs out for a great walk on a 50 degree day. Our kitchen produced THREE more successful loaves of wheat bread! We ate grapefruit for dessert and taught Luke how to enjoy all of the juice that gets left behind. We looked at each other and said we have a lot of things to be thankful for as the holiday season continues. We enjoyed some of Luke's new tricks, like climbing EVERYTHING, including out of his booster straps so that he can stand up, he even climbs ON TOP OF STAR so that he can pretend she is a horse. She is the best dog a toddler could dream up :)
We really ejoy when he gets on top of the ottoman, manuevers his way to the couch, grabs mommy's latest read and just relaxes
Happy Holidays, indeed.
