Luke's First Christmas

Christmas Eve was on a Sunday this year so we spent the day at church. We had Sunday School, worship service, and then the Candle Light service that night. We went to my parents house for dinner and then went home to put Luke to bed! We were so excited to set up his gifts for his first Christmas morning! I can't believe it's now come and gone... 

Luke walked out with Daddy on Christmas morning and loved his Mickey puppets, balls, and PJ Mask cars. We took our picture in our Elf/Santa jammies and got ready to go to Mimi and Poppy's. We had breakfast and then Luke opened all of his presents. He got so many gifts that he loved. Aunt Rebekah crocheted him a cat like his elephant she gave me at my baby shower! And the wagon from Mimi and Poppy was his favorite. :) Then we exchanged all of our gifts. Mom and I particularly enjoyed our Luke popsockets. ;)

After a while we took Luke home to nap and my parents and Rebekah went to visit my grandma. Luke fell asleep eventually.... then we got ready to go again and went back for dinner and presents with Zac!

On our way home we stopped by to see some of our other church family. :) Then we got that sleepy baby to bed!

We have been so excited and loved every minute of this Christmas season with our Luke. I can't believe it's over. Now we can't wait for next year when he will be more mobile and crazy and will love it even more.

XOXO

Friday Thanksgiving 2017

The Friday after Thanksgiving we have dinner with my family. This year we hung out all afternoon, cooked dinner, took pictures, and enjoyed playing with Luke. Luke loves to be with his Mimi and Poppy and Aunt Rebekah and Zac! Josh was not feeling good so he and Luke both took a nap. Josh then became obsessed with drawing on my mom's new sequin pillow. We hung ornaments on their Christmas tree before going home. It was a fun day.

NOW BRING ON CHRISTMAS EVERYTHING!

XOXO

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

This has been something that has been in the works since March and on Tuesday we closed on our house!! :) We are so excited!!!

Christmas 2015

On Christmas Eve we went to the Candlelight Service at church with my parents and Rebekah. Afterwards we went to mom and dad's house for dinner and Christmas puzzling. :) 

Rebekah, mom, and I all had matching pajamas this year. I tried to get Rebekah to take a picture with me in front of the tree, but she said I would have to carry her there. I dropped her.. but I got the picture. :)

We went home that night and watched The West Wing and packed for Atlanta and then went to bed. On Christmas morning we woke up at our apartment and I didn't take any pictures except this one of Gizzy with one of her new toys from her stocking.

After opening presents, we went to mom and dad's to eat breakfast and then headed to Raleigh for Christmas lunch at my Uncle Mike's house. I didn't take many pictures, but it was great to see all of my extended family! I did have to get a picture of me and Josh in front of the Christmas tree, because we have one from every year since we've been married.

We took grandma back home and got to see Jimmy! We love him! I'm so thankful for the way he takes care of grandma. I'm glad he's a part of our family.

We went back to mom and dad's and opened presents and had lots of yummy food. 

Before Josh and I went home we played Bounce-Off with my parents. Mom gets a new game every year for Christmas, this one was really fun!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!

XOXO
