It is so much fun to go home for the Holidays!! I was worried about flying alone with Luke and being without Keven, because it was hard in the past, but it wasn't too bad this time. Luke did pretty good on the flight, although I thought he was awful. Everyone else on the plan thought he was great. He did not sleep at all this time. We almost had an empty seat which would have been wonderful, but instead we got a grumpy guy. We had one nice man that gave Luke a new hotwheels car, which he loved. It was a long day. Luke was so exhausted but of course wouldn't take a nap when we arrived at my moms. He finally passed out for a little bit with me laying with him. Luke often needed me to sing him to sleep, like until he fell asleep, which was not my favorite. But we had a great time. Lots of playing with cousins and relaxing. (I decided never again am I doing the airplane thing and staying a long time somewhere without Keven, it was really hard). It took Luke a little bit of time to warm up to everyone, but he did have a lot of fun with all the different toys everywhere. The pictures we have are basically just of Christmas. Luke was a sport again as we woke up early. He loved opening presents and really enjoyed all of them. We did go sledding while staying at Keven's parents and that was a lot of fun. Luke LOVED it. For New Years Eve Luke got to stay up until 10pm I think which to him was really late, but he had a blast with his older girl cousins playing and looking out for him. Keven flew home the day before his birthday, but it was bad weather so he got delays after delays ended up getting home early the next morning (on his birthday) and his luggage wasn't with him. It was lost. He got a little sleep and then had to go to class to sign in and then he went home and slept. We hated not being with him on his birthday, but it was too expensive to fly home together on those dates. Luke and I stayed another week at my parents instead. We were very ready to be home with daddy though. Then a few days before we were flying home Luke got really sick. Diarrhea everywhere during the night. He was miserable and so was I. But luckily the day we flew we were blessed with no delays and no diarrhea. Also I wasn't feeling very good... and I was a few weeks late on my period, so I was pretty sure I was pregnant... but that story is for next month :) Enjoy!
