Lucy at 15 months

 still big blue eyes

 her little personality is really coming out,

 starting to dress up with sister,

 We had a fun little photo shoot the other day, I thought she just looked so cute.

 Although she is adorable, she has become more active then I would like these days:  climbing up on chairs and the table and thinking she is as old as her brothers and sister.

She became a toddler over night to me.  A little sad, a little happy :)

Christmas (revisited)

 Grandkid pictures...hard to do ;)

 Sweet Lucy cuddling with Grandpa

 Stocking!

 A new toothbrush makes this baby happy.

 My kids have become impossible with picture posing.  But the tree looks pretty doesn't it?

 Lucy always gets lots of help.  

 I didn't know Power Rangers were back...but my boys have been really into them recently.

 Pillow Pets were a huge success.  I love this picture of them all trying it out.

And the big presents from Santa, Remote control helicopters.  Just what they asked for.  And their Dad likes it too!

Friday

 We met up with Spencer's cousin Kyle and their family.  My kids have recently rebelled against picture shoots.  

 On Friday we went bowling and saw Prancer and Dancer followed by Santa.

 Mabel really likes sitting with Santa.  She doesn't really look at him or talk to him, but seems to really enjoy just sitting on his lap.

 Andrew asked for an assortment of interesting gifts this year, including a roller coaster and a flying carpet.  (That even got a laugh out of Santa).

 Ryan's an old pro.

And Lucy starts clawing onto you if you get much closer then this.  She started crying recently when a nice man with a big white beard smiled at her at the grocery store.

Grandpa's Bike

 Mabel was the least nervous...she kept begging for more rides.

 Spencer got to relive his glory days when he had a motorcycle long ago.  

Gingerbread houses

 more cousin fun time.  With 8 kids 6 and under in one house in the winter...we tried to keep them busy.

 Spencer "helping" Mabel.  He was the last one at the table.
