Seth with his ice

all better

Last night Seth was running around being a crazy man and he bonked his head on our pull down table that hides in the couch. He hit his head pretty hard, right near his eye. I thought for sure he was going to have a shiner, but fortunately he does not. We did put ice on it right away. Here are some pictures of him sitting on my lap so he could feel better. I love no matter how tough he thinks he is, he still needs mommy to fix it when he's hurt. We'll see how long that lasts.

Luke likes asparagus

I didn't know babies liked asparagus, but Luke does. He stole it off of daddy's plate!

Luke's First Christmas

Luke had so much fun with the wrapping paper and boxes. It was so cute to watch him with all that stuff he could tear up. He was into everything including his brother's presents. I love how babies sit in boxes and have so much fun without a gift at all. Luke did get the best gift ever though: his own remote control. Pops wrapped up an old remote for him. He did not put that thing down. He crawled all over with it and it is still his favorite new toy. First Christmas' are so special.

Christmas Cookies

This year Seth decided that he wanted to bake cookies for the neighbors. So I made sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, fudge and zucchini bread for goody plates. Anyway, Emmit came over to help with the sugar cookie decorating. The cookie recipe I used was terrible. The cookies did not hold their shape, but the boys had fun icing them anyway. The cookies turned out ok and they tasted good so I thought I could give them away . . . it was cute because one could tell they were decorated by 3 year olds. Well, on Sunday while we were at church my dog got into the cookies and ate them all. That solved my dilemma, but I was irritated because now I had to bake more cookies. I used a different recipe and Seth and I decorated them and they turned out so much better. Seth was disappointed though because Emmit had gone home to Elk Grove and could not help us. It was sad.
