Christmas eve was at our house with Grandma and Grandpa Ewert, Aunt Snook and Uncle Jeff, and Emmaleigh. We had waffles and peaches for dinner, then went to church and caused all sorts of mayhem before we came home, changed into our festive holliday PJs and got down to the serious business of present opening. 

Opening presents was alright, but mostly, I liked to play with the shiney things.  

Emma sure had the gift opening thing figured out though. She must get a lot of presents. 

I got a little carried away with the wrappings. 

This is the new hat my daddy gave to me. I get lots of attention when I wear it. perfect for the attention seeker on the go. 

Christmas day, our house was full of Lundes... 

And my room was full of cousins!

All this celebrating has me completely worn out! 

Here's me and Em in our famous Christmas photo. We're so cute!

I inturupt the 12 days of Benton for this special announcement: My newest friend, Vance Avery Olsson, was born on Thursday. He was just 6 pounds 11 ounces, and pretty good looking for a new kid. 

I'm not quite sure what to think of him. I'm used to being the loud on in a room, you know? 

Here he is with Maura, his Mommy. His big brother and sister are my friends Gavin and Alicia.
