Warming up for the Christmas card shoot...
This one made the card...
I shouldn't have had all that nog working on the picture...
I'm ready for more pictures!
The sky was actually pretty early in December...
I can't wait for Christmas!
Getting ready to go get the tree... can you read the door mat?
No, Lucie, I think that one is too small...
Now that's a good tree!
Lucie gets to work on decorating right away...
Harry provides helpful suggestions...
We take a break to go play in the snow (December 14th)
Daddy included this picture so Mommy can't complain about some of hers...
Lucie continues to decorate
Then, back out in the snow! What fun!
Look at me! I can make a snow angel!
Dad! That is not going to be a good picture!
See!? There's my snow angel!
Isn't the snow pretty?
Mommy works on the tree, too...
Look at the snow! Good thing we got the tree yesterday...
Gosh that was some snow over night (December 15th)...
Santa brought me my sled early! (December 17th)
I can't make angels any more - it is too deep...
Mommy went sledding with me too (but this is Mommy and Caiti)
It just seems to be getting deeper...
The elevator project is finished (it wouldn't have taken so long, but look at that brush...)
I am so happy I am inside!
I love snow cream! (snow + cinnamon + peppermint patty + whip cream)
I wonder if it will ever end? (December 18th)
I'm making a snow man!
I love my snow man friend!
Daddy had to give up and turn the fountain off...
See the dash of colored lights? That is just for Lucie!
Daddy trying to convince himself the snow is still pretty...
A new angle on the snow (December 19th)
I still love my snow man friend!
Daddy getting a little cabin fever... look a self portrait!
December 20th... Now Daddy doesn't even go outside to take pictures of the snow...
Look! Snow! Wheeeeeeeeee....
Once again trying to make the snow more interesting...
And again - more snow (December 21st)
Lucie tries to ward off the snow with a picture of Red, Santa's helper
December 22nd... more #!@* snow...
There really is a rock wall back there... some where...
Every time Daddy dug the car out, it snowed again...
Remember Lucie's snow man friend?
Snow
Lucie made this year's wrapping paper...
Harry watched
No, this isn't related to anything - Lucie just got some Viking horns...
In this picture of December 23rd, there is no snow!
Hi everyone!
Oh look... more snow (December 24th)
I'm dreaming of a Carribean Christmas... one with no snow at all...
Christmas morning! What did Harry get in his stocking?
Lucie got a fly swatter! (Hey - she asked Santa for one...)
More Christmas cheer...
Lucie hangs her new ornament on the tree (I'm sure you can see snow out the window if you try)
Santa also brought Lucie the boat she asked for...
and a forklift!
Opening Bebe's present while Bebe watched on Skype wasn't like having her here...
Harry gets a train
This was a joke that Daddy was supposed to wear, but we all know who Bebe really likes best...
Just relaxing on the floor during the festivities...
What is that fairy doing on Lucie's shoulder?
Taking a break from opening presents...
Harry checks out some more loot
Lucie gets another book
What the heck is in this big box?
Lucie's new "excited look"
Ok - you had to see one Christmas snow picture...
Things are finally starting to thaw (December 27th)
Oh wait - now we know who to blame for the snow...
And finally, we start to melt (December 27th)
We get a lot of visitors all at once - Aunt Maggie, Mark (not pictured), Marta, and Mel
Aunt Maggie demonstrates that she'll let Lucie get away with anything...
Not to be out done, Mark also demonstrates a willingness for silliness (this photo compliments of Caroline's new iPhone... ooh... ahh...)
Lucie now writes and performs her own music!
No new years celebration picture this year... just Lucie camping out in her own room!
