Birthday Girl!

 On January 4th, Lucy turned 2! She had fun opening her presents, playing with her new stuff, and eating cake. It has been so fun to see her personality really emerge over the last year. She talks non-stop and keeps us laughing. She can be really stubborn, but her sweet side helps us deal with that better. I cannot imagine life without our sweet smiley Lucy.  :)

Ben is such a good big brother to her. They love to play together. The few extra "snow days" off of school this week have really given them a good amount of time to play. She really does miss him when he is at school all day. There are also times that she drives him a little crazy, but what little sister doesn't? :) He wanted to make decorations for her birthday and worked hard drawing her a Princess Peach and Princess Daisy (from Super Mario). I wrote out letters for him that said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY" and he colored those in. He was so proud to see them hanging up on the wall and Lucy LOVED it!


 Time for presents.
 Ben's birthday artwork.
 A new Cinderella carriage to go with her other Little People princess toys.
 A new book...Lucy loves to sit and read books, just like Ben (that makes this mom very happy)!
 Coloring books! This girl could probably color all day.
 Trying on her new accessories. :)
Cake...yum!
 
A LITTLE WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

This is a newborn photo of Lucy.
 This picture is from a 1st birthday photo shoot.
 
2 year photo shoot...it was a bit chilly out there!
 
 
 
 We left Lucy's decorations up on Sunday too. She was pretty excited about that.
 We did have to take some balloons down for her and Ben to bop around.
All the while, this mess was happening outside. Ugh.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
