Trip to Santa

I was very excited when Luke told me he was excited to go see Santa since last year Micah and I had to sit on his lap because he couldn't decide if he was one of the good guys. This year Luke hopped right up on Santa's lap and began telling him his list which went like this. "I want a cowboy hat, shooting gun, a dinosaur, a skateboard, a helicopter, another helicopter and another helicopter." Santa then asked him what his brother wanted and Luke replied, "Uhhh diapers." Santa gave a little giggle. The whole time Luke is in Santa's lap Tucker is squawking and reaching for Santa and trying his best to get out of Micah's arms. This is what happened when we sat him in Santa's lap. Poor little Tucker! It did make for a good Christmas card though.

Oh Christmas Tree

In our years of marriage Micah and I have never had a tree over two foot tall. The past two years we didn't have a tree at all! It seemed silly to put up a tree when we came home to Kentucky on December 10th and didn't return to Delaware until after New Years. This year we have decided to have our first Christmas in our own home. I realize you're not supposed to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but Micah got a little excited this year and we were all decorated a week before Thanksgiving! First were the lights on our house and little trees in our garden trimmed with lighted candy canes. Next was picking out the perfect tree! Our tree is beautiful. It's 7 1/2 foot tall prelit tree with 1,000 LED lights. We put our tree up while the boys were sleeping and we were so excited for them to wake up and see it. Luke loved the tree he was so excited and can't wait for Santa to come see him. Tucker on the other hand was scared to death of our tree. He points at it and screams at it never getting too close. He has since warmed up to the tree and all our ornaments have been moved half way up the tree and he enjoys pulling the tinsel off, it's gotten so bad I can't wait to take it down.
