Christmas with the Lutz's

We headed up to Spencer, Iowa on Christmas eve to celebrate Christmas with Bud's parents. The usually 9 hour drive took closer to 11 hours due to weather and a baby, but we got there safe and sound. Samuel really did great in the car. He slept, ate, and played on the same schedule as if we were at home. There was about 2 feet of snow on the ground when we got there. It was really cold, so we bundled Sam up, took a few pics and ran back inside. No wasted time waiting for a smile when it's 4 degrees outside :)

Christmas morning... Samuel was having more fun with the wrapping paper than the gifts. Helping Grandma open a present...

Opening Christmas Eve pajamas... I think I was more excited than he was :)

A gift from "Santa"...

Bud's sisters came up from Dallas for Samuel's Baptism. So, we celebrated with them that weekend.
