We ended Christmas Eve with Dada reading Lucas ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. I wish we would have recorded the moment when we explained Santa would be coming down the chimney tonight & when Lucas awakes in the morning there will be many presents for him. He jumped up & down with excitement while yelling “yaaaah”! Very special moment we will remember forever.

Today was my 1st full day off. For lunch, we picked up a Burger King kids meal with chicken nuggets, apple slices, & french fries. Then, we took a stroller ride around a nearby lake in Fulton Ranch. Lucas was constantly smiling, laughing, & pointing at the very active ducks. Can’t think of a better person to spend my next 2 weeks off with! Soon, Daddy will be on vacation too!!!

You are so cute!

Lots of laughs & fun while we strolled around the lake.

We were only 5 feet away from this gorgeous & large heron (to the right of Lucas in the pic).

Ducks were everywhere!

Big food success! This morning, the entire family ate breakfast burritos. Lucas’ burrito was made of a flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs & ground turkey sausage. In the past, Lucas would never eat a scrambled egg. Plus, he just ate turkey sausage for the 1st time a few days ago. The sausage texture is new & Lucas is slowly accepting the texture. Most importantly, Lucas didn’t have even one coughing/choking incident while eatting the burrito bites. Actually, he gobbled up the meal!
