Another one down!

Another Christmas has come and gone. We had a super nice one. Lucas was sick last Christmas, so I was crossing everything I could cross that this wouldn't happen again this year. Especially since Lucas had had a cold for over a month and ended up with an earinfection just a week before Christmas. But Lucas was fine and ended up having a blast.

Christmas eve is when we do a lot of Danish traditions that I grew up with, and we open one present at a time. Since this was really Lucas's first Christmas where he really got into it, it was really hard to keep telling him to slow down. But we did set a new record for how fast you can open Christmas presents.



I really like this picture of my mother in law. She just opened our family picture we gave them.

Christmas Day we went to my inlaws for some more eating and presents. Lucas was really tired by the end of Christmas Day, and he's still trying to catch up on his sleep - poor guy!

We've really enjoyed the days following Christmas - we haven't done much. Just a lot of relaxing, a bikeride to the park (since we had over 60 degrees one day), some more eating and watching the first season of Grey's Anatomy.

Glaedelig Jul!

Jeg vil lige onske alle en rigtig glaedelig jul samt et velsignet nytar! Vi har lige fejret juleaften med en hr. Lucas som var i vaeldig hopla. Han kunne ikke fa gaverne abnet hurtig nok. Sa jeg tror, at vi har abnet pakker i en ny rekordtid.

Vi har givet familiemedlemmer et familiebillede. Dette er vores forste familiebillede som vi har faet taget, sa det er vel lidt pa tide.

Jeg har flere billeder jeg gerne vil dele fra julen, men de er stadig pa kameraet, sa maske i lobet af de naeste par dage....

Julemanden / Santa

Skal lige na det

Na, jeg ma hellere lige smide en updatering ind her i November inden vi ta'r hul pa December og med julemaaneden. Jeg glaeder mig i ar utrolig meget til julen. Det skal nok blive sa sjovt med Lucas. Jeg har hans sma pakker til adventskalenderen kobt. De skal bare pakkes ind og haenges op.

I morgen fejrer vi Thanksgiving, sa da skal vi ha' kalkun. Det skal nok komme til at smage godt. Dwayne holder fri Fredag, hvor jeg ta'r pa arbejde. Sa kan de to mandfolkner hygge sig sammen.

Vi havde ogsa en dejlig Halloween. Lucas synes, at det var alletiders at lobe fra hus til hus og fa slik. Sa nu har vi en masse slik i huset, da Lucas ikke spiser slik, kager, is osv. Det eneste slik som han spiser er de sma smarties.

Her pa billedet er hans "buddy" Joe-Joe, som er dagplejemoderens son. De to knaegte leger sa godt sammen, men det har de ogsa gjort siden de var 3 mdr gamle.

Vi har ogsa haft et dejligt efterar med nogle vidunderlige dage med skyfri dage og solen skinnende. Da har vi benyttet os af at fa cyklen lufter, selvom Dwayne vist synes, at min cykelsaeson er slut, for han har stillet den ud i skuret i haven.

"That's all folks".

Vi ses i December.

Arthur's Picnic in the Park

We went to see Arthur at the park a couple of weeks ago. Lucas was so hard to get out the door that morning. Even though we kept telling about the picnic and Arthur being there, he still just wanted to stay at home.
It was a pretty neat event. They had tents where all the characters were sitting. Arthur, Sid the science kid, sesame street, Clifford, Curious George just to name a few.
They also had the huge blowup slides and mazes. Lucas stood in line so he could try the wipeout (he gets that name from the show on ABC)


Then it was time to stand in line to see Arthur.
Around lunchtime we bought some hotdogs and sat and ate them while watching some kids doing gymnastics. Lucas was a little concerned about a girl when she was doing tricks on the trapeze. "mommy, she better be carefull" was his comment to me :-)
Here he is clapping at the gymnasts.

After lunch we decided to see one more character. Lucas chose Curious George, and of course Curious George was the most popular there. The line was long, but Lucas did really well. (To tell you the truth I was more worried about Dwayne being able to keep his cool.)Here we are in line not wanting our picture taking.
This is how daddy looks when he has to stand in line 1hour and 15 min. to see Curious George.Finally!
All done.

Ferie

Vi havde et alletiders besog af min Far og Ulla. Lucas fik ogsa dem rigtig laert at kende, sa det var jo dejligt.

Vi nod ogsa vores ferie til Grand Canyon og Vegas. Der var ikke sa meget for Lucas at lave, men jeg tror alligevel at han nod det.

Det var sa godt, at jeg havde pakket dette lille legetojskamera med i Lucas's rygsaekke. Han tog sa mange billeder. Sa det beskaeftigede ham lidt. Men det triste er, at jeg tror at Lucas har lagt det et eller andet sted ude ved Grand Canyon. Heldigvis har han ikke spurgt efter det.

Football!

Lidt svaert at optage, spille bold og snakke samtidig. Sa undskyld mit vrovlen ;-)

Jeg synes, at det var lidt sjovt, for det var forste gang Lucas havde de cowboybukser pa. De var allerede for korte i laengden, men i taljen for store. Sa forste og sidste gang han havde dem pa - heldigvis var det nogle brugte bukser som vi havde faet.

A little hard to record, play ball and talk at the same time, so excuse my nonsense talking ;-)

I thought it was hilarous, because the pants Lucas had one were too short, but too big in the waist. So it was the first and last time he wore them, good thing they were just hand me down pants.
