The Holiday Card and the Outtake

Here they are:  the best holiday card with the best kids followed by the best outtake (we almost picked it)! This year we have hearts full of gratitude, joy, peace and a lot of laughter. Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy new year! 


Kitty Love

"Mom, does Kitty's heart beat or purr? I think it probably purrs." 😻

Little Dribblers

Reed's basketball season is in full swing now and his Little Dribbler team recently had this yearbook photo taken. After the holiday season, Reed and Willa will both be on the court during practices because their parents along with another parent are resuming coaching duties until February!  

Nana's Tree

This year, Reed and Willa helped Nana decorate her tree, too.  The tree is set up high, with a gate surrounding it, to keep is safe from little and big paws🐶😻🎄

Breakfast with Santa

Every year, the South Onondaga Fire Department in conjunction with the Rockwell-Wheeler PTO hosts a breakfast with Santa event and this year, Reed, Willa, Nana and their parents attended.  After eating a decadent breakfast of eggs, French Toast, pancakes, sausage, and Italian white toast with butter (Reed's favorite), the kids got to meet Santa.  This is usually the closest Willa will get to Santa and, with her big brother acting as a buffer, she stood near him for this photo! 

Oh, Christmas Tree 2016

After a late afternoon start (impending darkness meant very few photos), the Lutons headed up to Goodman's Tree Farm in Phoenix, NY to cut our Christmas Tree.  We've been going there since before the kids were born and every year, we are able to find that perfect, tall, thin but full, flatter-on-one-side Fraser Fir!  

Changing of the Seasons!

Stones Throw Farm's 2016 CSA season officially ended on the first Saturday in December and, while it was too chilly for Reed and Willa to last outside until the bitter end, their parents snapped the annual selfie to show our happiness and heartfelt gratitude for another amazing season with our farm
family and family farm!
