pics from santa and bathtime

The Friday before Christmas Santa came to our playgroup! What a surprise!

This is a pretty bad picture of me being excited that Santa is visiting!!Luke isn't too sure about the big guy yet! Landon is fast asleep and not impressed with Santa
At least Luke was not crying sitting on Santa's lap!

Landon is still sleeping

After the excitement of Santa Luke got back to playing ... he likes playing with the big girls!!

On Saturday night Sebastien and Luke got to take a bath together after eating Chinese food... They were pretty cute

monkey hat

monkey hat!

mmmm love my raisins!

Christmas!!

Landon wore his B'Jolly outfit that he got from his friend MJ for a little while on Christmas eve.... it was a little too warm for the little guy, so we had to change after about 40 minutes haha In the evening we went to Nana and Papa's for dinner! the whole family was there:

After dinner (and during dinner) Luke was being a bit fussy so we let him open a present right after dinner...

It was new tub toys that are Winnie the Pooh! He loved them!!

He also loved the packaging they came in!

Landon was also pretty fussy all evening and he got lots of cuddles. Here Aunty Sharron is getting her baby fix :)

Lizzie loved the fleece the boys got for her :)

And she loved the pillow that Dee made for her!

Dadda got Landon to sleep on him

Luke took ownership of Landon's new rocking horse... He also took all the apples off the lower part of the tree at one point during the evening :)

Aunty Rae gets some cuddles from Landon!

Late in the night Landon was in a pretty good mood and just hung out with Aunty Drea for a bit

In the morning Luke ate breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa, Jessica and her daughter (Jessica is out tennant) and nana and papa! Then he got to see what Santa brought: a new kitchen!!!

He was VERY excited and went right to work organizing his food, cups, plates etc

He did open a few other presents: his new cat piano (thank god this has an OFF switch!)

I like the piano! It's LOUD!

He open a wooden pound toy with 4 balls that is lots of fun!

The other big hit was the wooden food that velcroes together and has a wooden "knife" that you can cut apart the pieces... He loves that!

After the morning craziness we headed over to grandma and grandpas house. We had a great dinner and then we took some pictures. Landon still was not feeling well this day: haha

But Luke was having a lot of fun with Grandma, Grandpa and his cousin Avah

The day after Christmas Landon woke up in a much better mood, despite still having a very low fever. The doctor on call wasn't concerned so we didn't need to go in unless his fussiness continued.... which it didn't!

We went to the Muldoon's house for a big breakfast and Landon got lots of cuddles there!

That evening Kim, Dan and sebastien came over for a playdate and dinner! Kim took some pictures so I will get them from her but the boys had a lot of fun playing together and they took a bath together.

This morning Luke got dressed in his patriots gear for the game and did his favorite thing: held his brother :)

And Landon appears to be back to 100% and back to being himself again! poor guy, we wish he hadn't been feeling so crappy during the holidays!

Also this morning Luke at his AM snack at his new table!! He got to eat out of kitchen set dishes and he had water out of a teacup :)

He was happy!
Grandma and grandpa got him this table and he has been enjoying it so far. He and Sebastien sat at it last night to drink their milk... Luke has already gotten it taken away a few times though - for standing on top of it! Hopefully that won't continue :)

even landon is excited it's Christmas

this is probably the last year you'll see luke like this on Christmas morning at 8AM

merry christmas!

The last 3 professional photos that we used on our Christmas cards

Since the Christmas cards should have been recieved by now, I will post the pictures for all to see! Sorry if you didn't get one, I probably didn't have your address. I know of at least 1 that is lost in the land of dead mail somewhere too... maybe someday it will get there! I love this one of Luke grabbing Landon's head... Landon looks so scared haha

Merry Christmas!

snow!!

When we got home from Hawaii there was snow on the ground so we decided to let Luke play in it for the first time! He had fun, but he really liked watching Rick on the tractor more than anything else!

Luke has been playing with his blocks a lot lately... I wrote out his name for him... he liked it!

Last saturday was cookie day at my house! Nana had bought an apron for me and a matching kid one when I was pregnant with Luke... he was big enough to wear it this year! Rick didn't take it off him when they left to go do errands so he ended up wearing this outfit all day haha


Here is Dee and Nana in the aprons Dee made a few years back... and Landon getting some cuddles


On Sunday it was snowing in the morning and the Patriots were on at 1... so the boys wore their patriots gear and we watched the game! during half time and after Luke's nap we went outside to play for a bit in the fresh snow. I didn't take any pics this time

Luke is at school today so Landon gets to play on the floor all he wants without being afraid of getting stepped on! yay!
