Well I guess it’s Monday, and back to work for the week. I’ve had a great time over the past week and a half enjoying some time with my family and taking in the holidays. What an awesome time of the year and a time to really relax and take in what happened in 2008 and also all that we have to be excited about for 2009. 2008 has been the best year ever for Luke Walker Photography and I expect nothing but the same for 2009 with a slumping economy and all.

Here is a shot Alisha snagged of Lillie all excited on Christmas morning.

She’s also making love to the present I got Alisha – a Canon 50mm 1.2 lens (mostly so she’ll leave mine in my bag).

Alisha surprised me with a new Nintendo Wii for my big present. I have to admit, even with 100 guesses this wouldn’t have even made my list of expected presents. I’ve never even played the Wii! The past system I was big on was the original Playstation and before that was the Sega Genesis. Coming from someone who hasn’t played video games in a while… holy cow video games have come a long way!! We set up the Wii at my parent’s house immediately and I fell in love with it in about 10 seconds. Even my 80 year old grandfather was more sad to see the Wii go than me I think :) We were in a dual in golf right as we had to get out the door.

One of the cool things we were also able to do was to sneak up to the Turning Stone Casino for a night with my father and uncle to try the craps tables. As some of you who follow my blog know I have a serious man love for the game craps in the casino, and my uncle just recently started playing out in Vegas so we decided to make a little family gathering out of it. The table was pretty good to us and combined we were able to take home about $400 of winnings which made for a fun outing that I really enjoyed.

Alisha’s family has flown out from St. Louis and has been staying with us which has been a real treat. Her family is very cool and we were able to have a Christmas 2.0 on the 26th with her family. Her mom got me a really cool Lions shirt just in time for me to see them go 0-16. Hey at least I know things can’t get any worse for them. Besides you can’t enjoy the good times as much unless you’ve been through the bad times I guess. Now go freakin hire a decent coach and use the numerous high draft picks you have this year (thanks Dallas) to get some talent.

I have a wedding to post here in the next day or 2 that we just shot in Brooklyn (can’t wait for the video trailer too, it’s going to be sick), an announcement about a new hire we just made, as well as another gorgeous wedding to share that we’ll be shooting here on the 31st. Stay tuned because it’s time for me to catch up on the blog over the next 7 days. Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoyed too much eggnog and a couple trips under the mistletoe.
