"Santa Claus is coming."

Luke says that Santa Claus is coming, so we thought we should put the tree up. Here is Luke putting the star on top.

He was pretty excited at first to watch daddy put the lights on the tree.

But he lost interest in the process pretty quickly when he realized that the round glass ornaments weren't the kind of balls that you can throw. Matt ended up decorating the tree by himself while I tried to contain a meltdown. Oh well, there is always next year to fulfill my dreams of a happy family tree trimming party.
Good photos of Luke are rare these days. He is obsessed with the digital camera and whenever he sees it he immediately wants to look at the photos on it. Immediately. He will not sit still for a picture and he starts to whine and cry. Here is a lucky shot.

Here is what it looked like the other night when Matt tried to take a picture at dinner. Luke became upset because he wanted the camera. He was perfectly fine and cute before the camera came out.
I did manage to get some OK pics the other morning of Luke in his green froggy boots.

Here is a video of the kind of whining we hear a lot of these days from our camera-obsessed boy. In the second scene he is calling for the "black camera."
