After returning from Prague, we had a relaxing Christmas at home. We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner with friends, we all settled in for a long winter's nap in anticipation of Luke's First Christmas. The living room was overflowing with gifts, mainly for Luke! Santa knew he was a very good boy this past year and rewarded him accordingly. Far from a white Christmas, weather was 50 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny…oh well!
Luke was shy at first, only pulling little bits of wrapping paper off the first few packages. By the end of the morning, though, Luke had mastered opening presents and even unwrapped a few of ours, too. He expected him to like the boxes and paper as much as the gifts, but he was quick to pick favorite toys like a new wooden dump truck and a bead maze. He also got lots of new clothes and several special keepsakes such as ornaments and a embroidered bib from Aunt Chele. Ben’s parents came to visit on the 26th so we had Christmas again with them. Luke loves his Elmo puppet from Aunt Lauren and Tickle-me-Elmo doll.
We appreciated all the Christmas cards from home and the gifts many of you sent for Luke. He is a very lucky boy to have so many relatives and friends who love him and can’t wait to spend more time with him once we are back in the US.
