We have been so busy lately that we have hardly had time to write about what we've been doing! November flew by, and we are already half way through December. Here is the last month in review:
Grandma and Grandpa Holthe came to visit us the weekend of November 15th and 16th. We watched the Husker game and played with Luke. It was lots of fun to have them stay with us.
The next weekend Luke and I made a trip to Omaha to go shopping with my Mom and Grandma. It was our annual Christmas shopping weekend. We did lots of shopping and had lots of fun in the hotel room.
After that was Thanksgiving. On Wednesday afternoon we drove to Fullerton to Grandma and Grandpa Krings' house. On Thanksgiving Day, Grandma and Grandpa Holthe joined us for lunch and an afternoon of football and Wii Sports. Everyone had a lot of fun! The next day we watched the Husker game with Grandma and Grandpa Krings, then drove to York to spend Saturday with the Holthes. Aunt Becky and Uncle Paul came from Lincoln for lunch and to see Luke and all his new tricks.
Since we got back from Thanksgiving, Matt and I have been trying to catch up on mountains of laundry, homework, and lots of spending time with Luke. We are also preparing for Christmas! The tree is up and decorated, presents are wrapped, and we have told Santa what we want for Christmas. (Santa came to daycare on Dec. 5th to see all the kids there.) We even had our first snow on the ground for this year! (No days off of school yet though.) We are getting very excited to spend Christmas with family and friends!
We have also had another new baby on our block. That makes 7 since March!! Addison joined us on November 12th.
Luke is now able to sit up on his own and can giggle! He loves to jump in his activity center and play with his toys. He has started to eat veggies - he loves the carrots and sweet potatoes that he has tried so far. We still have a few more to try, but so far he's eating really well. He will be 6 months old on the 12th!
