More Christmas Pictures

My mom just brought me a CD of pictures that she had taken over the holidays. Some are so cute, I had to post them.



We rented a huge house in Nashville, IN to spend time with my mom's side of the family over break. It was so much fun. Here's the whole crew.



Luke was really into playing pool with the guys :)

This rocking horse was mine when I was little. Luke loves it!

Happy New Year!

We had such a fun and busy Christmas season! First we celebrated as a family at home before driving to Evansville. We spent a few days there with my side of the family. Then we drove to West Lafayette for Christmas number 3. After that we headed to Brown County to see my mom's side of the family. It was quite a whirlwind. Luke had a great time seeing all of his family and opening a million gifts. Of course he was more interested in eating the wrapping paper than the actual gifts.

2007 was a pretty crazy year for us. I thought I would be glad when it was over, since it didn't start out so well. But it only got better and better after Luke was born. Turns out it was a pretty great year.

Hope you had a great Christmas! Happy new year!

More presents...



Luke got to hear Grandpa read the grinch for the first time...he loved it!

Snow Bunnies

We took Luke outside to play in the snow for the first time today. He wasn't quite sure what to think. Our neighbors let us borrow their little sled so we could pull him around the yard. It was really funny to watch him experience snow.

Silly Luke...

Yesterday when Luke woke up from his nap, I went in to find him looking like this. I love the hair!

Christmas Party

Every year we host a Christmas party for our friends, most of whom we've known since high school or college. Even though the weather was bad, we still had a pretty good turnout yesterday. Thanks to all of you who came. I had a great time and I hope you did too!


Exchanging presents with AC.



Ac and I gave each other these t-shirts. I love high school musical!

O Christmas Tree

Luke has been having just as much fun unwrapping other people's gifts as the cats have been! He loves the tree and would play by it all day if I let him. I've tried putting up presents as roadblocks so he can't get to the ornaments, but I think he's on to me...

Look what i can do....

Yesterday when Luke was supposed to be sleeping, I went in to check on him and found this...Apparently he can pull himself up in his crib now. Guess I need to lower the mattress, so he doesn't fall out!
