Luke on Christmas Eve 2010

Our living room after our little family Christmas
We celebrated our Christmas, the 3 of us on December 23rd before we headed up to my parents for the weekend. We enjoyed our day together and watching Luke get so excited to open presents this year. He would tear a little piece of wrapping paper off and hand it to me, he was so proud!

Luke's 2010 ornament

Each year we will adore the Christmas tree with an ornament for Luke

We chose this ornament because of his obsession with footballs, basektballs, any sort of ball he can find.

Sean gives me a "family" ornament every year. Starting off with wedding in 2007. This years ornament is so fitting because Luke loves to sit on Gunner and we chase him ALL over the place!

Luke really enjoyed opening gifts this year, it was so much fun. I look forward to the many years ahead to celebrate with our Sweet Little Luke

Perfect, now Luke can help me clean!

Another obsession of his is sweeping the floor.

a new pair of earrings!

Thanks Santa!

Luke's 1st letter to Santa...

He wrote "I've been a good boy all year long. Please bring me a mega play land and my 1st gun! Love, Luke" and left two cookies...

...but not without taking a bite first!

It was so darn cute, we laid out the plate and letter and wanted to get a picture of Luke with them, before we knew it he had taken a bite!

Our Little Family

Christmas Eve 2010

We most definitely enjoyed a white Christmas

Christmas morning we took Luke sledding and he loved it. He mostly loved watching the cows eat after "Bop" (aka Grandpa) fed them.

Santa came!!!

Luke got his 1st Gun...a nerf gun

Joking around with daddy and putting nerf darts on his forehead

Christmas morning opening up gifts from Santa.

Luke awoke at 6:15 ready to see what Santa brought him. His Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncles Mitch & Nate were just as excited so everyone woke up bright and early to watch Luke open his gifts from Santa! Then enjoyed a delicious gourmet breakfast via my mom!

Hugs and kisses from Uncle Nate!

We enjoyed having you home and spending lots of time together!

We miss you!

Luke with Grandma and Grandpa Einck on Christmas night

aka "Maam-ma& Bop"

Luke patiently waiting for the dinner dishes to get cleaned up and our tradition of grasshopers being made so we can begin opening gifts...he was such a good boy and enjoyed being the center of attention!

Missing Debbie...but Nate showing off her stocking!

The mantle is becoming more and more crowded and it is a wonderful sight! My older brother Nate will be giving me another sister this July! Unfortunately Debbie was not able to make it back from Seattle for the holiday. We look forward to the years ahead!

Luke ready to open gifts!

Alright...it's time!

"A tent"

Luke was so excited he got a tent that he wanted to carry it all over the living room.

Luke didn't want to sit still too long, he was ready for the next round of gifts!

Luke & Grandpa in deep thought

My crazy family who I love dearly, having fun playing games and sharing lots of laughter...the true meaning of our Christmas together...being together and laughing until we cry! Lots of tears shed from laughing so hard, what a wonderful feeling...

Laugh so hard you cry
