December!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! What a fun and crazy month December was for us!
We spent the whole month in Utah with my parents and ever growing family. It was so fun for Tucker to play with all of his cousins! He got to play in snow for the first time...

I'm not sure he really liked it. Rudy and I had fun making a snowman though!
We were able to really relax (especially Rudy, not having to worry about school). And spend a lot of time together. It was so nice.
We didn't get our E-Christmas card out like we wanted to...this was going to be the picture...so, Merry Christmas from the Wolfs! :)
(Tucker's way of folding his arms for prayer)
Tucker had so much fun...I don't know which he enjoyed more...Nana and Papa, the cousins, or the STAIRS! He spent SO much time on the stairs, enjoying something so fun that we don't have in Virginia. :)
Mom and Dad got the Wii, which was way too much fun to watch them box. And which made Rudy a very happy man.
He had some real Daddy/son bonding time with the Wii.
Yea for Christmas morning! What a crazy day filled with family and...craziness. It was really fun. Tucker started to really understand 'presents' and that the thing inside the box was more fun than the box (although the box was still a lot of fun).

Ahhh...mom's homemade scones and Cambelled eggs....MMMMM. Nothing quite like traditional family foods at Christmas. We had quite the scone factory going but still couldn't quite pump them out as fast as they were being eaten. They're just THAT good :)
What a party! And having 25 people over was just the immediate family! Later on Christmas we had all of my mom's side over for a whole houseful of family. I'm impressed with Rudy and how he really seems to like (or not totally mind) the huge numbers, especially coming from a non-huge family. :) New years eve was fun having a few adult couples come over for a Bunko party (a Wolf tradition that we were able to do this year for Rudy...it was really fun). The month went a lot faster than both of us were expecting and before we knew it, it was time to go. It's kindof sad to see Tucker now...he gets really lonely during the day. He had so much fun playing with his cousins! I guess it's a good thing we've got another on the way to give himsome family to play with in Virginia! :) We miss family! It's hard being so far away and hard to be reminded how much fun they are! We love Virginia, but will be excited to be back closer to family when the time comes.
So, it was a great December and wonderful holiday season. Now we're back in the swing of things with Rudy going long days and starting to see patients. I'm continuing with mommying, work, art, and trying to get outside every chance I get in this 70 degree weather until it disappears soon! :) We love you all!
