We celebrated Luke's first Christmas this year and he really seemed to love it! I will admit that it seemed he loved the wrapping and tissue paper more than the actual presents but oh well! We had our family Christmas really early this year since we had so many with our extended family. Luke loved reaching into his stocking and pulling something new out. He really loved his walker that Santa got him!
We celebrated with the Taylor side the week before Christmas. Luke got some great clothes and a pop up tent! He didn't know what to think about it at first but he absolutely loves climbing in and out of it! He also got his first basketball goal that all the adults broke in for him. :) My grandmother got Luke toys that I used to play with as a child. A popper and a pull along phone! Luke loved them immediately and knew exactly what to do with them!
The weekend before Christmas we had Mitchell Christmas. We acted out the nativity drama as a family. Luke was a sheep and Jonathan and I were shepherds. We enjoyed our time roasting marshmallows for smores and catching up with our family. Luke got lots of books and some cool clothes. He got a Spiderman warmup suit that Jonathan was very jealous of! :) The adults got to play the newlywed game which was a blast! We enjoyed learning things about each other.
On December 21st we left for Salt Lake City, Utah for a family ski trip with my family. It was my dad's whole side and the Hinsons and Nicholsons. Going through security was definitely a shocker! We took up about 10 bins, no exaggeration! Luke did AMAZING on the flight! He slept the whole 2.5 hours!! It was quite a challenge carrying a snowboard bag, 2 carry ons, a huge suitcase and a diaper bag! Did I mention we had a stroller and a carseat too?!?
Jonathan had a great time snowboarding all week. He hadn't been in 3 or 4 years. I stayed at the condo with Luke and my mom. We are the ones who don't ski! I did get to go snowmobiling with the group while my mom watched Luke! That was a lot of fun!!!! Jonathan was so sweet to let me drive as much as I wanted since that was my only entertainment. I don't want to brag or anything but I did get it up to 70 mph! :)
Luke had an amazing 1st Christmas! I love that he had a white Christmas on his 1st year!! We really loved spending so much time with our family! I love the holidays mainly for that reason! We hope you all had a great Christmas!!!
