This was our first Christmas together in our new home! Wow, Luke, it was just wonderful! You and I were very excited about everything to do with Christmas! We bought our first Christmas tree the day before Thanksgiving. You and I went to several stores in order to look at all the trees... Mommy wanted to make sure I bought the prettiest tree for our new home! After looking at all of the trees, we decided we liked the one at the hardware store the best! You were so excited... We both were! We bought a lot of new lights and a lot of new ribbon to hang around our new tree! We found ribbon that looked like candy canes, and we bought a lot of it because we were so excited! We stayed up very late the night before Thanksgiving because we were just so excited!
Thanksgiving is at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Joe's house every year. We picked up Grandma, and drove over to spend the day with everyone! Koko and Bob celebrate Thanksgiving with us every year... What a treat! You had so much fun, as always! We have so much to be thankful for, Luke. You and I are truly blessed! You and I got our Christmas tree out of the box before bed... We were just so excited! We watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving movie, and went to sleep!
We decorated the tree in our new home for the rest of Thanksgiving weekend! It looked so beautiful! Mommy took a lot of pictures because we were both very proud of our Christmas tree! You had just started a NEW PRESCHOOL in our neighborhood! It took a while for Mommy to find your new school in our new neighborhood, but it was well worth every minute of the search! Again, we are very blessed, son! Mommy actually attended this very school as a preschooler! Thank goodness it was still such a wonderful school, with such wonderful teachers, after all these years!
Koko and Bob came over to celebrate Christmas with us before they left town, and Grandma came with them. We stayed in and ordered pizza, because you had a double ear infection. You usually got one of those per year. You didn't let it stop you from having fun with Koko and Bob, and you liked telling them about your 'double ear!' Koko gave you 2 great long-sleeve shirts, and a lot of great dinosaurs! Koko always knows just what you love!
The next day, you had your annual check-up with the Orthopedic Surgeon at Cincinnati Children's. On the way to the Orthopedic Department, you and I were walking down a very busy and very crowded hallway. We ran into Carrie, your nurse during surgery, and during the first 6 months of your treatment. Mommy visited with her for a few minutes, and told her what a wonderful young boy that you've grown to be. We were blessed to have Carrie and Marcia as your nurses back then! What a blessing to run into Carrie in that crowded hallway, in that crowded Children's Hospital! Would you believe it if I told you that the same thing happened last year?
We spent Christmas Eve Day at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Joe's house. Mommy bought you a book of paper airplanes to put together. Cousin Justin helped you fold the airplane, and you loved it! Uncle Joe made a binder for you to keep your drawings and 'your work!' You loved it, and you loved spending the day with your family. Aunt Sandy and Uncle Joe gave you a fun game called "Zingo!" and Legos that light up! Later that evening, we all went to Aunt Cathy's for her party! Santa always comes to that party! You have so much fun climbing up and down the stairs, playing with all the other boys and girls, eating all of the treats! Santa gave you a wooden train for painting and you really loved it! We got home so late... We put an iced cookie out for Santa, and read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. You put on your new "Grinch" Christmas Pajamas before going to bed. It was late!
The next morning, we opened stockings before going to get Grandma. In your stocking were two wooden musical egg shakers, straws, a chocolate Santa, and snowman chocolate squares. You were so excited for Grandma to spend Christmas Day at our new house! You were excited that it was her Birthday, too! Santa brought you a Razor Cruiser Scooter this year! He brought you two containers for your lunchbox, and a Mickey Mouse Candy-cane figurine. Aunt Gerry sent you a fun snowman Christmas stocking, a dancing elf, and a note telling you that Highlights Magazine would be on the way, in the mailbox soon! Grandma gave you a Playdough Fun Factory, Pirate Legos, The Polar Express movie and Fireman Legos. We had a wonderful day! Merry Christmas, Baby! I love you!
