Christmas and Luke's First Birthday
Christmas Eve at Luke's Great Grandma Julian's. Gerald and Christa are nice enough to host this event every year and it's always so much fun. We eat fairly traditional German food, do a white elephant gift exchange, and we each get giant plates of German candies and cookies courtesy of Christa. This year Luke was the life of the party (as you might expect)!

Luke got a really big, fluffy elephant chair that he loves. Thanks Christa and Gerald!

Right before the white elephant gift exchange (P.S. it was all junk) :)
Luke's playing with the presents. Isn't he pretty?
Best present EVER!
Christmas morning was spent at Dave and Susan's. We all came up in our PJ's and there were tons of presents for us under the tree. It was great having Ryan and Kayla with us because we don't get to see them very much anymore.
Oooooo, better watch out elephant chair. Luke's got something new to love!

Thanks to everyone for making Luke's first Christmas so awesome! You did way more than you had to do.
Now on to Luke's first birthday! He was definitely a spoiled child. So many great gifts! Thanks Julian and Miller family for being so good to him! He's lucky to have so many great people in his life.
"I'm so done opening these presents and being the center of attention!"
This, unfortunately, is one of Luke's favorite hobbies lately.
Sharice's awesome cake for Luke! :)
