Christmas !!

Christmas at our house this year was a little more crazy then normal. Luke was on call the whole week before Christmas. I spent a lot of time on a sewing project for my mom-in-law. Thankfully it ended Christmas Eve and we had lots of time together after that. Here we are by our Christmas Tree. This is a tradition that Luke and I started the first year we got married. We always take a picture around the tree. This is Dirk, me and Luke's mom (Bev) going on the Christmas Eve hay ride. Dirk loved this so much, he is obsessed with trailer and we got to ride on one. It was so cold!!! This is Dirk on Christmas morning opening presents from Santa. This was Dirks big gift this year. He was so excited! He talked none stop about a train he had seen at Toys r Us. He wanted Santa to to bring him a train that went around and around and it it had a controller. Thankfully Santa found it and it was here Christmas morning. Dirk has not stopped playing with it yet. He loves it so much!! This is a picture of my secret sewing project I was working on like crazy. This is part of our Christmas from Bruce and Bev (Luke's parents). They are pretty cool (I think so). They are picnic baskets. Inside they are lined with fabric and have pockets for everything. They were all stocked with everything you could imagine for a picnic. So the whole family is ready as soon as the snow melts. I didn't have a picture but I had to add that my dad made me a lamp for Christmas. It is the coolest!! It's made out of metal and he welded it all together. I will have to post a pic soon so you can see how talented he is. Thanks Dad.
