Christmas 2013 #1

The first Christmas celebration was in the great north. Lots of snow, cold weather, and lots of fun people to play with!

Lucas opening his first present - a puzzle. Car he exclaimed!

Only threw a little paper; but, mom has trained him well and things go in the garbage. 

I know I'm not supposed to play the piano, but I will anyway. 

Proof I know I'm not supposed too. 

A new form of bowling. 

And we got the entire family looking and looking good in one picture. :-)

Preparing for Grandpa Garf's car?

While Lucas liked sitting in his own car (at the store), I think he prefers his football, basketball, or whatever other ball he can find. 

First snow of 2013

Last weekend we got at least 6 inches of snow Friday night. When I got back from commencement, the three of us played in the yard and helped Nathan finish shoveling. Lucas liked the snow and being outside but wasn't a huge fan of the sled; however Nathan enjoyed the hill and I made a snow angel.

And deciding it's more fun to dump than fill it up

He loved wearing his boots and the sound they make on the floor. 

Thanksgiving

Garf joined us for the Thanksgiving weekend. Nathan made a delicious feast! I think it was his best turkey to date.  Lucas was a little slow to eat the food but he liked looking at the big turkey. 

 I'm not sure who liked Lucas liked saying grandpa more, Lucas or grandpa. It's fun watching them together. 

Popcorn

The way to Lucas' heart is through playing with him or feeding him, especially popcorn. 

He posed for a few pictures and then got to business. 

The Barber

Lucas was due for a haircut so we took him to the old fashion barber in Metamora. He didn't like the horse chair he wanted him to sit in so he sat in Nathan's lap. You can see the fear in his face but he didn't cry. 

He looks so much older now; such a cute little man!
