Stewart family Christmas...

Snow and ice can't slow us down!  Stewart family Christmas was wonderful.  While we were cozy inside, about 2-3 inches of snow was falling outside.  

We had a wonderful dinner at Ross and Shannon's house.  As can be expected from a 4 year-old, Luke drank as many shirley-temples as he could convince people to make for him (see the red lips in the pictures below) and ate just a roll for dinner.  On the other-hand, we looked down the table to see Peter eating salad, roast, and anything else we put on his plate.   Of course, he thought the soda was excellent as well and wandered the house drinking out of any cup that was not being held...thank goodness we weren't drinking martinis!

We had dessert and opened presents at our house.  Below are some pictures.  The two best "presents" of the year were Natalie and Emmett who were celebrating their first Christmas.  

Here are the cousins...Luke, Peter, Natalie and Emmett.

Mema hit it big when she bought Legos for the boys.  Peter got a Duplo Police Boat...complete with "bad guys" and all...

Ross, Shannon and their adorable Emmett.  

Auntie Saza, Aaron and Natalie.

Nana got Natalie a sweet doll.  Dolls are a welcome addition to our house...if you ask me!

What an awesome picture of Mema and Emmett.

Pepa the HERO!  He removed the 12 screws and 4 zip ties that were holding this digger in its packaging.   Tonka may be going a bit overboard on the security these days.

One of my favorite pictures of the night.  Luke and Nana sharing a moment of complete JOY.  Luke adores Nana.

Auntie Saza gave Luke and Peter these remote control bulldozers.  Peter said, "awesome."

Natalie is rolling all over the place and was thrilled when she looked up and found herself under the Christmas tree.
