Christmas Redux

I was looking through my photos and realized that I forgot a couple of good ones from Christmas. The reason they weren't included with the original Christmas entry is that they were taken that night. We went over to our friends Jay and Christine's house, took the pictures, and then we accidentally left the camera there and didn't get it again until New Year's Eve.

Before I get to those, I just wanted to mention that we had a pretty active day with Lucas. This morning, he had his first gymnastics class. I'm not really sure that is the official term since it's really all about running around and jumping and rolling, but there is gymnastics equipment around so we'll go with that.

In the afternoon, after Lucas's nap, we took him skating for nearly an hour. A couple of days ago, we bought him the double-bladed ice skates that attach directly to the boot. He had a pretty good time skating and hitting a puck with his stick. He's still quite a few years from breaking any of Gretzky's records, unfortunately. After that, we went sledding on a hill near our house. When we bought the skates, we bought a couple of sleds so all 3 of us were able to go at the same time. All in all, it was a fun day, and it definitely helps makes winter a little less depressing, something I've been quite susceptible to in the past.

On with the pictures!

In the first one, we interrupt Lucas as he is trying to eat. No wonder he doesn't like us using the camera anymore.


Later, we all posed for shots. In this one, Lucas poses with Carter and Xander.


Afterwards, we got a great family shot in front of Jay and Christine's tree. It would have been perfect if Lucas was looking at the camera, but you take what you can get.

Just got back from Florida and hit the blogspot first. Lots of good stuff. I especially liked the New Year's Eve party pics.
What a nice surprise to see so many pictures and great commentary.

Love to you all.
