This Christmas Season could not be more special and more joyful! Luke is healthy, happy, and ready for Christmas! We've had a few visitors to the house to wish us a Merry Christmas. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Trish stopped by while they were in town. We enjoyed spending the afternoon with them, and Luke had a chance to open his gifts while they visited. It was wonderful to see Uncle Jerry and Aunt Trish, especially at Christmas! Koko and Bob were able to come over for dinner and exchange gifts before leaving town for the holidays. We always enjoy time with Koko and Bob, as they are dear friends. They love Luke very much! Mr. Russo, our neighbor across the street, stopped by to bring Luke a Mickey Mouse piano book of Christmas song! This book has been a favorite, and I'm sure will be for many years to come!
On Christmas Eve, Luke and Grandma made sugar cookies for Santa, using Grandma Miko's cookie recipe. He had so much fun, and really loved every minute of decorating and baking! So did Grandma! After the cookies cooled, Grandma helped Luke select a couple of the most special sugar cookies for Santa's Christmas plate! Luke placed the plate of cookies on the little table in front of the Christmas Tree, so that Santa would surely find them! Luke left him a glass of milk, too!
The next day we awoke to Luke's first Christmas morning! There are, of course, no words to describe the joy felt by all of us that morning! Luke could not believe his eyes as we walked down stairs! Santa gave Luke a Lakeshore Red Barn with farm animals, mothers and babies. Santa also gave Luke hand-painted glass Christmas ornaments from China. These ornaments are so beautiful, and to know they are painted from the inside with very small brushes, makes them more amazing! Mommy gave Luke a book about the Twelve Days of Christmas, with DOGS! Mommy also gave Luke an FAO Schwartz Chocolate Labrador stuffed animal! Grandma gave Luke a wonderful figurine of Micky Mouse dressed as Santa, getting ready to climb down the chimney with his bag of toys. Mommy's friend from Colorado, Janet, sent Luke a great winter beanie from the Colorado State University Rams. Lisa sent Luke a Denver Broncos ornament for the tree, as well as his first Denver Broncos shirt! Mommy's friend from Fort Collins sent Luke his first Nativity with baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Luke loves the toy Nativity, and I can tell it will be a favorite for years to come! What a wonderful addition to our Christmas traditions! Luke's first Christmas morning was truly joyous! Luke, Mommy loves you, and Merry Christmas!
Uncle John, Aunt Deb, Josh, and Ashley came over for Christmas dinner, as they do each year. We always have so much fun when we get together, and this year was no exception! After dinner, we all visited and exchanged gifts. Luke received a red monster truck, a walking puppy that barks, and a shape-sorter tugboat for the bath.
