The Innocence of Christmas

Lucas is really enjoying Christmas this year. He tells everyone "Merry Ho Ho". He can't quite say Christmas yet. He loves watching the carousel go around. He has named all of the little people that are on it. The whole family has a seat on that carousel. Tonight, he took Judy's Christmas present to her, then we went and saw one of my friend's new baby. We then went to the live nativity scene. We didn't spend very long there, it was just too cold. I can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning this year. We've been telling him about the real meaning of Christmas. Tonight, when I was telling him about Jesus, he started looking up and pointing at the sky. It was like he was trying to tell me about it. He's so smart and so sweet.

"Baby do it"

Lucas has figured out how to put on his own jeans. Only one problem, he can't quite get to the zipper. He was so funny when he came into the living room to show me that he could put on his own jeans. He was so proud. I didn't have the heart to tell him they were on backwards.

Elfed!!!!

This is hilarious!!!

Touchdown

It appears that Lucas' favorite sport is football. He can spot a football or a football game a mile away. He's even learned what to do when there's a touchdown. So, now we run through the house yelling touchdown when he goes to the potty. He's so funny.

ICE

Saturday, we spent the night in Nashville with Gigi and Papaw. We went to Opry Mills (craziness!!!), and to see the lights at Opryland Hotel. On Sunday, we went and had an amazing breakfast at Loveless Cafe. Lucas even ate like a pig! Then, we went to Ice. We all were suited up in huge parkas. We soon discovered why. It was freezing in there. Lucas was amazed at all of the ice. This year, the theme is The Grinch. It's really hard to believe that it's made completely of ice. It's beautiful. There were 2 slides that you could go down. Lucas wasn't scared at all to go down them. He went down 3 times. I think that Papaw went down 3 times also. Brad went down once. We had a great time.

Thanksgiving 2007

This year, we spent Thanksgiving dinner at NaNa and Pop Pop's house. Lucas had a wonderful time. I think he wore NaNa and Pop Pop out. While we were there, we had a "first". Lucas went to potty and did number two! We made a big deal out of it.

After the dinner settled in, we went to E.O. and Nanny's house for supper. Lucas had a good time there too. He was so wound up that he had a really hard time going to sleep that night.

We are so thankful for Lucas. We waited a long time for him and he is such a joy!!! I don't remember what we ever did without him.We are thankful for our family and that our family is healthy and close. We are thankful for all of the little blessings in our life and the big blessings alike. We have a very blessed life together.

Christmas in the Park

Last Tuesday, we went to the opening night of Christmas in the Park at Freeman Lake. It was a great night, not too cold. After downing a whole hotdog, we went for a walk through part of the park and then drove through the rest. Lucas really enjoyed it. His reaction was "Oh wow wee Mommy". He's really enjoying the lights this year. I tried to take pics, but they didn't turn out too great.

Potty Time

Lucas went pee-pee in the potty!!! After his bath last night, he said he had to pee-pee. So, we went to the big toilet and he sat on it. After sitting there a minute, he tinkled!!!! We are so proud. Me and Lucas ran through the house yelling "YEAH", then we sang the potty song. He loved it. This morning, when he got up, he told me he had to pee-pee. Again, we went to the potty and he did it again!!! Now, he's pee-peed 4 times in the potty. Of course, he's soaked his big boy undies a couple of times too. I think we're onto something here. We'll keep trying!!!

Oh Christmas Tree

We decided to put the Christmas tree up a little early. I really wasn't sure how Lucas would react this year. I thought he may try to climb it. Well, he decided to had to get under it and work on it. He's so funny. I haven't caught him pulling anything off of it, but I did find a couple of Halloween flashlights placed in the middle of it.

Like Mother, Like Son?????

Lucas was amazed when I got out my tall boots. He just had to give them a try. He actually did an o.k. job walking in them.
