What a wonderful Christmas week we have had! Craig has been off since the 19'th and won't go back until the 4'th so we are having some much deserved family fun time:) We spent Monday through Christmas Eve at my parents with the whole family. Aunt Key and Uncle Jeremy even drove out from Vegas with their dogs so the boys have had more playmates than usual:) Craig and I had so many free babysitters that we even managed to sneak out for a lunch and movie date one afternoon:) We took the boys ice skating one evening and Luke was the hit of the night...he LOVED ice skating!!! I have joked since he was born that he is so tiny he should be a figure skater...he is on his way to proving me right:) Let's just hope he goes the hockey route rather than the figure skating route:) He took about two laps to get the feel for it and then actually went around the rink on his own (holding an ice walker of course...but nonetheless without any adult touching him!!!) We celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve as Jeremy had a flight back to Vegas to report to work that evening. We were all way too spoiled and headed back to Austin to get home for Santa with the van piled to the ceiling!!! We woke up Christmas morning to find that Santa had in fact come and left our boys some very exciting presents...the highlights being a basketball hoop for the trampoline, real guitars (for those of you who have seen the "rock video" on this blog you understand how exciting this was) and Heeley's (wheel shoes)! Knowing my family history...I see an ER visit or two in our near future!!! The rest of Christmas day was spent with according to Brian..."a true Christmas miracle" when he lost his second tooth! (Does it get any better...Santa followed by the Tooth Fairy?!?!?), followed by a trip to the movies to see the Chipmunks movie and we topped off our perfect day with the best Christmas dinner ever (according to the boys)...campfire hotdogs in the backyard:) The rest of our time off together will be spent having endless Wii tournaments (Gaga & Papa spoiled us with 14 new games!!!), assembling all of these new toys while finding spots to put them and just enjoying being together with nothing to do!!! We hope all of you are as fortunate and blessed as we are and wish you all a Happy New Year!!!
