Merry Christmas! What a great holiday we get to give and receive gifts, remember the birth of Christ, and we get to sing Christmas songs for 5 weeks straight. It is always a bitter sweet moment on actual Christmas morning because the anticipation of the day and what is wrapped under the tree goes away and carols must be taken off the play lists, oh and the tree has to get taken down eventually... But nonetheless this last week leading up to Christmas has been fun.
It started off earlier in the week with Lenna getting her very first bruise. It isn't super large but it is a nice shade of purple on her forehead. She got it by whacking herself into the fridge. She wasn't to excited about it and actually screamed pretty well. I guess I have officially reached the Lenna getting into everything and occasionally giving herself an owie phase.
On Christmas Eve we went to the zoo to wish the animals Merry Christmas. I think it is super awesome we live somewhere that we can go to the zoo on Christmas Eve. It was a little chilly so we did a lot of the indoor exhibits. Since strollers aren't allowed in those exhibits we carried Lenna. She even got to crawl in the bat exhibit since it was just us and her friends. Her one little friend crawled with her even though she is 4 and kept telling Lenna "It's okay you don't need to be scared I am with you." So adorable. I am glad she has friends that love her. In the tropical rain forest area I took our camera out and it was all fogged from being so cold but now being somewhere warm. After wiping it off a nice lady took our family photo.
After a good nap for Lenna we headed to Green Lake to do our Christmas Eve tradition. We like to take the 2.7mile walk around the lake and discuss how life is going and what the goals are of the next year. All while sipping hot chocolate to stay warm. Lenna didn't like it so much the last mile. I am not sure if it was the cold or if she just had enough of stroller time for the day, but oh well we discussed some great family goals are we are anxious, excited, and curious what 2010 holds for us.
Lenna would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas !
Lucy our pet tortoise for the week was snug in her shell awaiting Santa's arrival. On a side note when Lucy arrived we were talking to her owner about her and getting instructions on how to make her stay happy. Well we found out that tortoise's can hibernate. Apparently you can stick them in the fridge for a month or more. I think I must have had a horrified look on my face. How odd that you could just stick you animal in the fridge for weeks on end. Regardless I think Jared is liking having a pet around and Lucy is low maintenance so I don't mind her hanging out at our house.
Well it is Christmas morning and Santa didn't disappoint. Neither did all the rest of the family. Lenna loved exploring her new toys. Dad loved playing with his new toy, and mom loves her new bling.
Lenna loved crawling all over us and seeing the pile of wrapping paper.
She even managed to help kind of unwrap one of her own gifts.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we hope 2010 brings you even more happiness than 2009. 
With love, The Lundells

Good times. Good times.
I want to see this bling that you got. You can't say that you got bling and not show it!
