Black Eye

I have to document Luke's first black eye (as I'm sure there will be many more to come.) A couple of weeks ago he was in the basement playing on our old banana chair and smacked right into the coffee table and this was the result. He cried pretty hard until I gave him some Smarties, that cures everything! He looked pretty tough with that black eye!

Happy Birthday Barrett!

Yesterday was Barrett's 30th birthday! We celebrated with Rob and Megg by going to Porcupine Grill for dinner and then we headed up the canyon. We had planned on going snowshoeing but there wasn't enough snow so we ended up just hiking the Spruces up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was a beautiful night with a huge full moon and a perfect way to spend Barrett's birthday! We hiked up to a clearing and enjoyed hot chocolate under a moon that was so bright we didn't even need to break out our headlamps. It was such a fun night! Happy Birthday Barrett, you are the best husband and dad, we love you!

Cousins

Luke loves his cousins, especially his cousin Hailey. They are only 4 months apart in age and have so much fun together. Last Thursday my sister-in-law, Heather's, dad passed away from a tragic accident so we were able to spend a lot of time my niece's Sadie, Brinley and Hailey while Eric and Heather were spending time with Family. Heather's dad, Mert, was a truly amazing man and we will all miss him.

Luke and Hailey had so much fun playing together, here are a few pictures of them hanging out. Funny thing is, Hailey has never had a binki but as long as Luke had one she wanted one too! So these may be the only pictures ever of Hailey with a binki in her mouth. The only problem now is that Luke is going through Hailey withdrawls, he asks for her all day long.

Santa and his Little Helper

Santa came to our ward party and Luke was able sit on his lap

Here is Santa's Little Helper in his jammies that his Grandma got for him

Christmas Lights

The day after Thanksgiving we ventured downtown to see the Christmas lights. We road the Front Runner downtown so we wouldn't have to mess with parking. We had a great time and it was a great start to the holiday season!
