This is a picture of Lucy with her Cabbage Patch Kid that Noonie gave her.

I just thought Lucy looked extra cute this day!

Christmas Morning

This is the grandkids waiting to come downstairs. 

Kemrie was crying about how she did not want Santa to be there, because he is not her friend. Kemrie is scared of all men, but this year Santa really scared her, she did not want any of the gifts that were from Santa.

Stacey and Dwayne found out on Christmas Eve that they are going to have a baby!

Stacey is Due the end of Aug.

Grandma made these aprons for the girls and Lucy got cleaning supplies for Christmas, 

so they were very busy all day.

Aunt Ammie, Kemrie, Lucy, and Jazz

We gave Lucy this Diner this year, we loved it because it has a kitchen on one side 

and the booth on the other. 

We had a Great Christmas this year, because of the snow we missed out on going to Heber and having the normal Christmas Day. But came up with new things to do, like dig out the cars and get stuck in the snow. I love this time of year, it is so magical. I love the fact that everyone is excited about what they are giving, and might be getting. As Marc says "Good Food Days" What a great time for us to all get together and enjoy family and friends. I hope everyone had a great year!

Santa Came!

This year Grandma Nooney (which is a new name Lucy started calling Grandma Sandy on Christmas eve) stayed the night with us. Every time Noonay is here we have to wake up early, and Christmas morning is no exception. We have to open Santa and be at my sisters to exchange gifts and have breakfast by 7:00. So that we can leave by about noon to head to in-laws.  This year Lucy woke up on her own at about 5:40 and just said "Santa"  when I told her that I thought he had come she ran out to the living room to see that he had left Elmo, and Dora dress up. 

Lucy in her new heels

Shoe-aholic already and she is not even 2!

I love this Picture of Lucy and Nooney, I think it shows the joy of Christmas through a childs eyes, and a Grandma's

This is Lucy as she came around the corner and saw Elmo! 

Of course she liked Elmo, but then threw him down and said "Dora" 

Santa did not wrap the stuff this year, I bet he did not know if she would be as excited 

if she could not see what was inside right away!

You may pick two gifts, but one has to be PJ's!

This is the rule! Christmas eve you can open one gift that is PJ's

 and the little kids get to open one gift that will keep them busy. 

This is a picture of Dwayne taking a bite out of Ammie as she finds the gifts.

Lucy and Kemrie got to open stuff so that they could play salon.

Kemrie and Chris' mom Grandma Sandy playing dry your hair!

The blow dryers really worked, but do not get hot. Too bad the noise drove Gamma Kimmy crazy! She kept telling them to turn them off, and then she hid them.

We also played BINGO this year, my mom bought a bingo cage and everything, 

then we all did prizes and wrapped them. We did this White elephant style, so that we could steal the really good gifts. 

Christmas Eve Dinner

Every year for Christmas breakfast my dad's family makes biscuits and gravy and Pork chops. When we started doing our own Christmas we took the tradition and made it a Christmas Eve dinner, because we never have time on Christmas morning, now that Stacey and I go to the in-laws. It is still something that we look forward to all year!

Lucy had Gravy Everywhere! Look at her chest.

After Lucy got done, she was so full she has already learned the 

undo-the-top-button of your pants to make yourself feel better trick!

Kemrie at the same meal. What kind of Hobo am I raising? 

I guess she is one who likes her food.

I am sure if Lucy had her way we would eat this more than once a year.

Lucy Dance

After Kemrie's recital Lucy has been saying Lucy dance.  This week was bring a friend to dance class.  Kemrie said Lucy could go with her.  Lucy seemed to enjoy it, she is very social, she didn't even hang around Kem. And after class they got a cookie, this is when I got to take pictures of Lucy in her dance outfit.  (Notice on the one icture her legs were moving so fast they are just a blur)

Bowling

This year for our Christmas party with the Heber friends, we met at the bowling alley and ate, played a game of bowling. Lucy tried bowling for the first time, and loved it so much that she did not understand why it was not always her turn.  Lucy used the ball ramp, and would push the ball as hard as she could and run back to grab another ball, before the ball had even reached the pins. 

After bowling we went to Katie's house to talk and laugh. Katie's daughter Brynn came down the stairs and said "Mom, Lucy is not being modest, she is naked" yep that right our daughter was naked! We got her dressed and sent her back up to play, and soon we hear toys coming down the stairs, without a person. Lucy helped them get that way! It is crazy that anyone lets us in their house without leaving a deposit. 

Thank you Katie for all the hard work, we had a great time. 

Also that same day we went to see Grammy Sandy and Nelly. Lucy loves Nelly, every time we get to Grammy's Lucy runs to the window and starts to yell "Nelly" Soon Nelly will return to live with his family. (Kevin,Erika and Cole) in their new house.
