Sword Fight

Luke & Jonathan having a cute sword fight with their plastic swords.

Jonathan's First Steps

During one of our family get-togethers during the holidays, I notice a bunch of cheering going on and see Jonathan trying to take his first steps with Grandpa.  Sure enough I caught a few on camera!

Super Slide

Another group gift we got to participate in this year was a group outing to Scooter's Jungle!  This is an indoor play room filled with bounce houses, slides, play stations, air hockey, etc.  A little something for everyone.  The crowd favorite was this super slide which everyone went down at least once (except pregnant Jennifer!).  Here are a couple clips of Jonathan, then Luke, going down the slide with Nathan.  Luke eventually got so comfortable with the slide that he went down several times all by himself, too, but I didn't get a video of that.  Enjoy!

Luke Ramp

We got Luke this Hot Wheels ramp for Christmas, and he enjoyed it!  Take note of the cars the racing car is jumping over.  :)

Jonathan Ramp

Someone got this for Jonathan at the Hughes Christmas, but this is really the first time Jonathan had a chance to play with it.  I was impressed how he knew pretty much how it worked right away!  I also love his little dance moves to indicate that he wants the music to play again.  :)

Cousin Airplane

The group gift teeter-totter airplane with almost all the cousins riding it.  It holds 8 kids, but when the grandkid count is at 11, going on 12, they'll still need to take turns.  :)

New Bike

Here's Luke getting his new bike out to show all the cousins on Christmas Eve.  Grandpa had it hidden in the garage, so he opened a "clue" present that said to look out there for it.

Christmas Program

Here's some footage of Luke in his preschool Christmas program.  First, he's singing "Go Tell it on the Mountain", then there's a few seconds of the end of "Jingle Bells".

Laughing with Duck

This video started out mainly to capture Jonathan's laugh, as it tends to evolve over time as he gets older.  Then, Luke wanted to try to make him laugh, so the second part of the video is his attempt to play with Jonathan, too.

Singing Snowman

Jonathan's first real introduction to the singing snowmen at Grandma Hughes' house!  I think he likes them.  :)
