My Thanksgiving

My first Thanksgiving was a lot of fun.

I got to eat lots of good food.

Daddy let me wear his sweater when I got cold. I like it a lot because it is a Utah sweater.

I tried to help Grandma Lu with the food, but she wouldn't let me get in the fridge.

I had lots of fun playing with Uncle Sam and I love my monkey pjs, they are so snuggly. Thanks Jami!

I took a nap with Uncle Sam....

and Daddy!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to get ready for Christmas. I wonder how Santa will get in my house...I can't wait to see what he brings me.

My mom thinks I am the best present and she put me in a giant stocking. I just think she is silly.

Santa won't forget me, will he?

The same weekend as Thanksgiving was the Utah/BYU game. I got scared a few time because everyone was cheering and yelling. I like to play with the football.

I was sad when it was over because Utah didn't win.

Being a little girl can be tough work. I have to get lots of sleep!

Mommy put out all the Christmas decorations. I really like the tree with it's pretty lights.

We have been busy getting ready for Christmas.

We have been getting in some shopping....

I liked this hat, but mom said no.

and I got to go see Santa, but I was a little scared.

Now there is not much time left and I am so excited for my first Christmas. I have tried to be a good girl and I can't wait to open presents and eat all the yummy food!

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Lucy

Lucy likes to play with the laundry room door and make fun noises on the grill

This is a picture of me as a baby...

And here is Lucy in the same dress...isn't she so cute?

My Dad

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, and I couldn't help but think about the legacy he left. He was always serving and sharing his testimony with others, something I am not very good at. Sometimes it feels so weird that he is gone, like it can't be true. I know he would love Lucy so much and she would have so much fun playing with him. I hope that I can keep his memory alive in our home, so that even though they won't meet here in the life, she will know him and want to be like him.

I love you Dad and miss you!!

PS Happy birthday Uncle Rick and Travis, we love you guys!!

Halloween fun

Thanks to everyone who came to our Halloween party, it was fun to see you!

Here are Steph's cute girls!

Lucy with Uncle Jon

Piglet, Eeyore and Grandma Lu

Lucy changes everyday. We are having so much fun with her and her little giggle is the highlight of our day.

She loves candy and claps when you give her something she likes.

She drank out of a straw for the first time this weekend and has started to walk along the furniture.

She loves to be standing.

She loves to pull all the books off her shelves (I had to move the paper back ones, because she likes to eat them)

She likes to help her mommy (by pulling out all of the clean dishes and throwing them on the floor)

It is hard to get pictures of her now, because she likes to grab at the camera.

She has three teeth, with a fourth on its way.

Lucy loves her Daddy and is so proud of him! He made Super Starter at work! We love him so much and are so grateful for all the hard work he is putting in for our family!!
