Another One, this is the one I really wanted to post.

Her eyes are a little irritated and she had been rubbing them a lot, just in case you noticed. But she is still happy as can be.

A Funny Video

I love when I can get this girl to laugh.

Thanksgiving Break

A little picnicing at town square with Jimmy Johns and beautiful St. George weather.
We didn't make it to Disneyland, but we did get to ride the new carousel at city center. Lucy loved it, until it started moving... maybe Disneyland wouldn't have been such a good idea.

Lucy didn't ever cry but she was very nervous once it started moving.

We visited the library while we were there. Notice there are no books on the bottom shelf. Smart. Except she can reach the other books just fine... so not helpful for us.

We tried to get our princess to kiss the frog prince but she wasn't having it.

We love Grandma Sullivan! Always good to be in her home.

James took Lucy out every morning with him, to shoot some hoops. She loved it! James loved wearing shorts again.

We spent as much time outside as possible. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery half way through our trip so we don't have that half recorded in picture.

We got to be there for the lighting ceremony at the St. George temple. It was a nice short program. This was the last of our pictures, due to poor planning. But we went hiking up on the red hill. Lucy loved climbing around on top of the big red rock. We also had a good Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. James and I stayed far away from the Turkey and stuffing. We ate ham instead. I wanted enchiladas. Maybe next year. We did put on a Mexican spread for my family on Saturday night. We played games with cousins, did a little shopping. Visited my Aunt's craft show that I look forward to each year, and I even ventured out on Black Friday to help my brother get in line for a couple of big buy items at Walmart. Our efforts were successful, and I don't know that I really ever need to do it again.

We are back in the swing of things and anxious for school and work to wind down so we can start our next Christmas Break. Until then, life is so so good. We are more blessed this Christmas season than we could ever imagine. James has applications in and we will be hearing back early next year from them. Lucy is growing up so fast and getting soo funny. She babbles a ton. And has learned lots of great tricks that she will never do on command. (Usually about 10 minutes after all the coaxing and prodding, when no one is looking, or so she thinks). We miss her when she goes to sleep, but we are so glad she is such a good sleeper. Makes for happy parents!
