santa came!

Lucy and Beatrice got lots of nice presents from family, friends, and Santa.
Thank you everyone!

christmas reactions

We've got Lucy's reaction to Santa's presents on video.

I think she liked it.

waiting for santa

Lucy puts out some nice treats for Santa and his reindeer.
I bet he'll leave you lots of nice presents, Lucy!!

ho ho not again

It was time for another trip to the Burlington Mall to see the real Santa. No surprise Lucy had no interest in sitting on his lap – or even looking at him for that matter [she still got a candy cane for the effort though]. Beatrice, however, had no choice – but was none less pleased.

Beatrice did finally stop crying – she must have just wanted a cuddle with Santa.

For those of you who forgot Lucy's first visit to Santa . . .

We'll try again next year, Lucy . . .

snow. snow. snow.

We had quite the winter storm this weekend. Lucy and Daddy went out to enjoy the snow before the freezing rain and freezing temperatures set in.

holiday packing

We are getting our presents wrapped and ready to be shipped. Here's one getting ready to send to Grandma . . .

Packing peanuts will keep them safe, right?

not a fluke

Here's another portrait — Grampy asked if she could draw his picture and she did. [This one, drawn this morning, was well-drawn and intentional.]

Of course, this one has significantly more hair than Grampy — we'll chalk that up to artistic license.

the next michelangelo?

Lucy drew this picture of Daddy this morning while I was working on the Sunday crossword puzzle. Honest, she had NO adult help! [I did not even see it until it was finished]

Lucy drew this at 2 years 10 months old.
