Here's the final picture of Luka in a basket.

Luka put on his best charm at the Chrismas eve party at our friends' home.

We had the most lovely Christmas...doing practically nothing. A few classic Christmas movies with lots of chocolate and gingerbread cookies is a recipe for the perfect relaxed Christmas day! And GUESS who got most of the gifts!

Merry Christmas to you all! We are spending this Chrismas at home in Denver. On Christmas eve we'll get together with our "Finnish" friends here in Denver to enjoy "lanttulaatikko", "porkkanalaatikko" and "joulukinkku". The only thing missing from a true Finnish Christmas is a "joulusauna", but maybe we'll have that next year if we build a sauna in our new house...

Luka is starting to look like a "big boy". His favorite activity now is standing. He looooves to look around and take part in the action.

We went snowboarding in Keystone last weekend. It was my sister's first time, but she's a natural, and picked it up right away. Luka spent the day hanging out in cafes and flirting with the waiters...
