New Years in Sunriver

We spent new years in Sunriver with my family's two best family friends the Allen's and Colby's. Every year as a child our three families would get together and head down to black butte for new years. As we got older the tradition faded since we were all so spread out. This year we brought it back as now all 4 daughters are married and each have a son! What are the odds of all 4 of us girls having 4 boys within a year and a half period?? Unfortunately Jackson was sick so the Fords couldn't make it. It wasn't the same without them, however we still had a great time. Here are some pictures!

Luca's one year pictures

Here are some of his pictures!

Luca is ONE!!!!!

Luca is now one and we are loving every second of it. Unfortunately Rob, Luca, and I came down with the flu right after xmas so his birthday party with the Bellenghi side was postponed which was a huge downer, luckily we were all healthy on his actual birthday! We drove to Sunriver to spend new years with some family friends and celebrated Luca's birthday once we were there. It was a great night, however he wasn't really into his birthday cake. I admit I was disappointed not to get those great pictures of my one year old devouring his birthday cake, however Luca is a a pretty cautious little guy (like his father was I am told) and preferred not to get messy. Maybe next year.

Luca's First Christmas

Luca's first Christmas went great! Of course he was oblivious to what was going on but he enjoyed the craziness of the festivities. We spent xmas eve day with the Mitchell clan and xmas eve night with the Bellenghi's. Christmas morning Rob, Luca and I had our own little present session then we headed back down to Lebanon to spend time with my family then it was was back up to Portland to spend Christmas evening with Rob's family. Despite the driving it a wonderful Christmas.

Update

It has been a while since I updated the post so I thought I would just put up some pictures. Things are going great as we are gearing up for Luca's first Christmas and birthday! Luca is just getting over his first ear infection and will be thankfully feeling good for the festivities. We have had to put a gate around the tree as Luca is very "interested" in it. He is pretty much running now and keeps us on our toes, if we don't hear him we know he is into something he shouldn't be into. Other then that not much else to report on. I will put up more pictures in the up coming weeks.

Hope you all have a great holiday!
