Christmas day! (2011)

The fun continued as we headed to my parents' for more Chritsmas celebrating with my family.

Lucy opens her gift from Uncle Kyle.

Paige in her fully body leopard PJs. Texting, I think.

Kyle with his new skis (Moment is a local company).

Oh, Christmas tree ...

Daddy pours Lucy some tea from her new teapot.

Lucy drinks it up!

Nonnie and Pappy gave Lucy this awesome bike for Christmas. It even has a bell.

That face!

Moomy & daughter Christmas photo shoot!

Classic Lucy scowl.

Lucy checks out the ornaments.

Hello from my new bike!

Getting ready for dinner!

Daddy fixes Lucy's hair before we eat. Lucy usually prefers that Daddy does her hair.

After dinner art time with Tia Paige.

Christmas with kids is just magical, and David and I were really excited for Lucy to experience Christmas 2011. She was approximately 18 months old, so just old enough to start to enjoy the magic of Christmas. Here are some shots of our Christmas morning before we joined the rest of the Millers at Nonnie and Pappy's house.

Treats for Santa and the reindeer, of course.

It is hard to say whether Lucy or David's expressions are more funny in this series.

Wow!

Lucy explores her new kitchen. This took one of Santa's very special elves a LONG time to assemble.

Making soup.

Testing out the buttons on the microwave.

Opening her stocking!

Candy and mittens! (Lucy loves mittens and gloves. She nearly wears them year round. Just one mitten is an especially favorite look).

Lucy helps Daddy open his stocking. Santa knows that Daddy loves twizzlers.

Lucy's gifts. What a lucky girl!

Lucy and Santa (2011)

This was Lucy's second year visiting Santa. This Santa was of the budget variety (he was, perhaps, not yet of legal drinking age) and Lucy was not especially excited. But how cute is she!

Special times with Uncle Kyle

Lucy and Kyle work on their piano skills. Perhaps Kyle is explaining the difference between percussion and piano here?

Christmas Cookies 2011

Like her Mommy, Lucy is a big fan of cookies.

Family cookie decorating party at the Miller's!

Lucy's favorite thing was the frosting!

Case in point.

And just in case she missed some, she went ahead and licked the cookie sheet too.

Pajama party!

Lucy's friend Priya had an adorable Christmas Breakfast themed birthday party. We enthusiastically embraced the theme in our matching sock monkey long johns and feasted on pancakes and fancy hot chocolate. Yum!
