Christmas is Over Already??

Wow - where did December go??? I just realized it's been a month since I posted any pictures. And boy, do I have some pictures to post!! I guess they will have to come in installments over the next couple of days. December was a blur - way too much going on!! I was so excited about Christmas with Luke this year. Even though he didn't care much for Santa in person, he was still very excited about the magic of it all. We watched 'Shrek the Halls' many times, 'The Grinch' many times, we even saw Frosty the Snowman and other great classics. He loved the Christmas tree. He was pretty good about not touching the ornaments - he was better than the cats, I'll tell you that! His favorite was the Christmas lights. If we were in the car, he was constantly pointing out the Christmas lights. One night I made the mistake of just driving around our neighborhood to look at lights. In the very back of our neighborhood was this lighted train in someone's yard. Well, then every night after that we'd pull into the entrance of the neighborhood and he'd ask to go see the "green train." How do you say no to a precious 2-1/2 year old??

Here are some of the pictures from Christmas (Part I):
Ahh... the anticipation of it all...
This is in Cleveland ... we decided to get out and walk off our dinner.
So we went to the park.

Silly boys!



Opening presents at the Tanners


What a stocking ... it's almost as tall as he is!!


If you can't tell what he's saying, it's "CAN-DEEEEE"


Trying to take Aunt Joy's stocking too!



This is the cute kangaroo that Aunt Joy gave him!

Sidewalk chalk! You can never have enough!!


This was one of his favorite parts ... playing the piano with Aunt Joy! He loved it so much that I've actually considered getting him a piano. Or at least starting lessons as soon as possible! I can tell this kid has some musical talent ... just not sure where he got it from!! :)
