Christmas 2010 In Reverse

There are so many pictures in this post that I feel sure my 2 loyal blog followers (the Grandmas) will be the only ones reading by the end of it! The way I downloaded the pictures, they go in reverse order, so we will all have to stretch our brains to see Christmas in rewind!

Luke LOVES his Buz PJs! Back at home, winding down from a very fun visit.
One more story time before we say goodbye:

Santa brought Luke the coolest train set!

Daddy... get in on this before Momma steals all my Christmas sugar!

Aunt Jamie makes the best french toast in the world!

Debbie lost her wedding ring years ago... Dwight secretly replaced it this Christmas with a beautiful (and I mean beautiful!) set! It was fun to watch it all unfold!

Giving $$ is still fun!

Dwight and Debbie are in housing limbo... Debbie made do and Santa still knew where to drop our goodies!!!

Luke got his very own Woody!!!

A Santa Sack with socks?!!! That silly Santa! The soccer ball and books were a much bigger hit.

Aunt Jamie makes sugar cookies every year... Luke helped. She tires at icing them, so I have stepped in, in year's past.

Christy got 6 bowls dirty to keep all of the icing colors separate! Ha! Her cookies turned out prettier than my brownish purple iced cookies... you are hired!

When we arrived to Chris and Christy's house, we saw a fire truck! Granddaddy took Luke up real close to get a look inside!

When they left, they turned on their lights for Luke!
The Christmas Eve service was beautiful... we got to hear the preacher who married us deliver the sermon and Luke did great all the way until the lights went out for the candles. The music was so pretty- a night to remember for sure!
The best full length picture I got of Luke... he had a train applique vest over a red plaid shirt. Cutie pie!
It works out nicely that both of our family's go to the same church, so we got to do this together (as in almost every year we have known each other). Here is the group at Papasitos afterwards!

At the Allison household, Granna dressed Luke so Santa would not miss us! These are his Santa shoes!

Christmas kiss!

Making cookies with Granna:

Santa filled our stockings early! He somehow always finds us!


Army guys:
Opening presents was really fun! Luke was a great helper running from person to person to open every EVERY last one!
Riding his big boy tricycle from Granna and Pops:
Opening cars from Honey:
A quick hug and then he was OFF to play!

Breakfast with Honey:
On our way to Houston, we stopped in College Station to see our Buddies, Ben and Tiffany... we took a run through the Holiday in the Park too! Luke and I twirled around under the big Christmas tree:
Daddy recalled in his younger years jumping up and touching the rim of this basketball goal... he thought he would try again, so he stretched out real good
AND.... (got close!) Ha!
We had a great Christmas... I will certainly miss the age of two!
