Early Christmas...

We spent this past week my folks, as they were able to stay with us and take care of Baby Luke (Joe had to go back to school last week - sigh...)  So this was wonderful, as it prevented Luke from starting daycare until January (Joe is now home on break for 2 weeks.) We really enjoyed our time together and mostly did normal, “everyday” stuff (it was fabulous to have the extra helping hands around!)

We did manage to make time for a few house projects, church, shopping and a visit to see Santa!  We also must have watched "The Grinch" about 10 times (Samuel decided to make it his favorite movie of the week!)  SMILE...  Oh, and I can't forget to mention that we also got to start our Christmas celebration (opening gifts) a bit early!!!

Joe’s parents will be coming over this weekend and we will get to celebrate Christmas once again!  Yippee!

There are a lot of pictures below (just be happy that I managed to get it down from the 378 that my mom and I took in total!)  But I wanted to share the memories with you...
