Lukey Duke is "2"

 This little lady lost her first tooth!!!  
The tooth fairy left her pixie dust and a $2 bill that was her great-grandmothers!


Hard to believe our little blessing is now 2 years old!  We thank God everyday that he gave us Luke and chose this sweet little being to complete our family.  He lights up the room, loves to snuggle his big sister, slap his big brother, and give high fives and hugs to his Mom and Dad.  He's spunky, yet laid back.  He loves to play legos, Hot Wheels, and watch the Letter Factory and Mickey Mouse.  He will throw a little fit of tears and kicks if you tell him it's time to come up from the basement playroom or it's time to come inside after playing outside.  Happy 2nd Birthday Lukey Duke!!!
















 Lucky me!  Luke and I went on a lunch date to 5th Street Pub!

 Happy birthday Nonnie Lindsay!  We love you!!
 Story time at Barnes and Noble!
 In the early evening on Christmas Day, we headed to the extended family party for the Lindsay side!




 Thanks for the birthday party, Megs!

 Dan and I on a date night to the Florida Georgia Line concert!
 We are always careful not to step on our overnight visitors!


 This little cutie loves to eat his snacks on the kitchen rug, right by Momma :)


To kick the cabin fever that was setting in, we went to Maumee Bay State Park Lodge and played with our cousins for the night!  It was so fun!  Lots of swimming, arcade games, pirate room, and walleyball!  The kids were super pumped to be staying in a hotel room too!




 Working on our fine motor skills :)



Brotherly love!

Happy Holidays!

 Each of the kids with their favorite gifts!
 Carefully counting to be sure we bought enough carrots and that each reindeer can have one :)
 All set for Santa!
 The joy and excitement that filled our home on Christmas morning this year is something I hope I never forget.  The pure delight and the innocence was simply too sweet to put into words!  When the grandparents came over Christmas morning for breakfast, the excitement began all over again!  I feel blessed to be able to make these memories for my children!!
