Christmas 2011! :)

Luke wasn't able to join us for Christmas, but Carlos and I still had a great time with family to make up for it.  Here's pics of Christmas Day.

I took a lot of videos of Carlos opening his gifts, but I haven't converted them yet so I'm not sure if I'll be adding them any time soon.  All in all, we had a pretty great Christmas!  Next up- driving to GA to be with Papa again! :)

Yay!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Love,
Nicole and Lucas


oh, and I forgot to post about Christmas Day...

It started out with Luke getting sick at about 6 am that morning (and I wasn't feeling so great later on that day) so we decided to just open presents early. It was short and sweet. We took a nap and then called family to wish them a Merry Christmas. After all that was done, I went to the supermarket to get him some soup and powerade to settle his tummy. Poor guy :[

It was a very laid back weekend that's for sure since we were feeling under the weather (Luke more so than myself). I think the best part though was that we got to spend it together :] and that's all that mattered to me.
