lucas is now 2!!!

we took lucas, his friends and cousins to the kangaroo zoo for his second birthday! it is an indoor bounce house with all sorts of bouncy houses. lucas was very apprehensive for about the first 30-40 minutes. his aunty, raylin, let him sit in her lap and get used to the idea of playing. once he warmed up he had a blast! lucas' aunty mercedes was in town, from california, for his birthday. our friend, kimmi, made the dino cake! grandma & grandpa palmer bought lucas a jack in the box and lucas just loved it! he measures 1/4" taller than jack at age 2. little boys are so much fun!!!

christmas at the palmer's

christmas is so magical with kids involved. jack and lucas left out homemade cookies, diet coke and carrots for santa and his reindeer. santa's elves stayed up until 2 am putting together a train set on a table for the boys. we went to my aunt's ward (church) for their christmas musical program. i really liked that christmas fell on a sunday. it was so nice to hear choir music and sing. we stayed with tradition and took christmas jammie photos of all of the cousins! eunice and allen always make a fancy, yummy dinner christmas night and this year, my sister brought a goose! we hope your holiday was wonderful!
