Merry Christmas

This was the picture used in our Christmas card this year! How can you look at the picture and not smile! Merry Christmas (a few days late!)

Christmas at our house

Baby Jesus hasn't arrived yet!

Thanks for all of our Christmas cards!

Our Tree this year. Notice that there are no ornaments on the bottom of the tree. There were...then Luke found them.


Sorry Uncle Patrick, but your gift no longer has a bow.

Christmas Ducks-one of my favorite decorations. Thanks Amy!

our mantle-notice the fallen tree on the right. Luke had just done that when i snapped the picture.

The tree back up again.

Our stockings! There are three for the 2nd year in a row!

My glitter poinsetta. I love the glitter but you can't really see it in this picture.

Let's go

Right left right left...

Luke is WALKING!!! Didn't expect that to happen this week but he can take up to 6 or 7 steps now. This video doesn't really show off his talents...I will work on getting a better one this weekend!

Ellenburg Christmas Party

Dancing with Papa

checking out Santa...not so sure about this guy.


First time in Santa's lap didn't go so well!

And another one bites the dust!

We are so excited to announce that our little brother Patrick is getting married! We are looking forward to Natalie joining our family she already fits in so well! We love you guys and look forward to the upcoming festivities!


These pictures are from the night they got engaged! Congratulations!

Christmas Tree

Luke helped us pick out our Christmas tree for the first time this year! Fun!

By the time we were headed home, he was tuckered out! Still cute though!

Birthday Boy

A year ago yesterday Luke was born! It is so hard to believe that he is already one! We had a small gathering with family and a few friends. Thanks to everyone who helped with our party and came to celebrate with us!We are so thankful for our friends and family!Here are some pictures from our fun time!

Tomorrow

More Teeth!

Luke surprised us tonight with another tooth. He has been getting up at night which is unusual for him and today he had a little extra drool so I decided to take a peek inside his mouth. To my surprise, he has his first molar on the bottom right and it is almost all the way through! I can't believe it! So to date, Luke has four central incisors, four lateral incisors, and one first molar! Nine teeth! So he went to bed with tylenol and oragel tonight! Let's hope for a full nights sleep for mommy and baby!
