The Samuel Family

What a month! I don't remember a December going by as fast as this one did. It seemed like the moment we got our tree, lights on the house, stockings hung, and decorations put up, I was putting them all away. So sad to see it end. This Christmas was more exciting for Lucas. He loved Santa Clause, reindeer, snowmen, Christmas trees, and lights. When asked to say Merry Christmas, Lucas would say, "Merry Christmas Tree" every time. So stinkin' cute. He enjoyed opening up the presents, but I think it was a little overwhelming with all the new toys to play with. Still, it was super fun to experience Christmas through his eyes.

My Dad "officially" moved to Walla Walla, WA. He still comes back to Baker City to tend to his house that is for sale. Hopefully after this winter, he will sell it and really get to settle into his new home. As of now he is staying in a hotel until he can find a rental. Riley has been staying with us since Thanksgiving while he is transitioning over there. I think Riley will really be glad to get away from the toddler, but Lucas will be sad to see her leave. He absolutely loves her.

Kim is moving in two weeks to California. I am really bummed that she is leaving, but excited for her and her new adventures. She has been an enormous help with Lucas and I don't know what I am going to do without her here. Lucas is really going to miss his Aunt Kim too. She won't be back until the baby is born in May. It will be the longest we have gone without seeing each other. I guess it will be back to talking on the phone twice a day:)
