Growing and growing and growing!

Luke has grown over 2 inches in the last 3 months!! 

Fun with fingerpaints!

Havin fun!

Say cheese! Luke and I made mozzarella balls today - well - they didn't come out that great but we sure had a good time cooking. Then we ran around the house and played ring around the rosy. After a few rounds of falling down - Luke looked at me and said "mommy daf-fun." (Translation : mommy that was fun). I love this kid!

Snow day!

Getting Ready for Christmas

Luke helped make cookies!

and decorated them too! I think that was the best part!

We also made ornaments and gave them as gifts. Luke is so proud of what he made. He goes up to the tree at Granny's house and our house and points to the ornaments and says "I made that!"

And the holidays meant time spent at home with Mommy and Daddy.
