The Kriz Family

Thanksgiving

I feel like we have a lot to be thankful for this year.  Lukas has really changed our lives – mostly for the better, but sometimes he makes us wonder about that…    In all seriousness though, we are so thankful to have this happy, healthy boy in our lives, and we are thankful to have our family and friends with us through all these times.

To celebrate the holiday this year, we shared Thanksgiving day with Heidi’s parents (Granny and Opa, to Lukas).  We all stuffed ourselves with too much food, as usual, played the piano, tossed a football, moved some furniture – you know, all the typical holiday activities.  Lukas was running around while “the boys” were tossing the ol’ pigskin.  He was cracking up as the ball would fly over his head.  He liked playing in the driveway with gravel and sticks too (tried eating some rocks and sticks, but I think realized they weren’t all that good…)

The on Friday we went up to visit Grandma and Grandpa Kriz. The car trip was a little exhausting, but otherwise, it was a really nice visit. We had yet another big meal Friday night, then on Saturday we all went to Parmatown Mall to ride the Christmas Train. That was really fun, and Lukas sure loved it (he put up such a fuss after the firsr ride was over that we went again). Grandma and Grandpa loved it too, because this was the same train “Jimmy” rode on when he was a little guy.

And later in the day on Saturday, we thought we’d let Lukas play outside in the snow. He was not too fond of it just yet – he fell down once, and after that, he wouldn’t even walk in the snow anymore. I’m sure he’ll come around.

I like this one – it’s like he’s posing for a Gap ad or something…
