Presents galore!

As far as we can tell, Luke has a rather complicated relationship with presents. 

He enjoys ripping the paper--the sounds, the destructive aspect of it, how it just keeps coming--but unfortunately for the rest of us, Luke is blessed with a wonderful feeling of contentment and is perfectly happy with just one present. Well, not even the present, just a little slip of wrapping paper. He also hasn't quite grasped the concept that boxes covered in brightly colored paper mean toys and clothes. So after catching a glimpse of his present (or successfully ripping off a piece of paper) and playing serenely for a few minutes, daddy would have to hide said present or piece of paper so he would focus on the rest of his wrapped ones.

Every. Single. Time. 

And Luke is not easily deceived, so it took quite a bit of effort to keep them all hidden. By the end of the stack we were having to open the gifts for him and try our best to keep him entertained and happy. When all of his presents reappeared after everything was open he was overjoyed!

He loved everything. Thanks to all of our wonderful friends and family members for making his birthday a happy one!
