Happy Birthday Grandma and Happy New Year!

Grandma ended up making her own birthday cake, but with help.

Happy Birthday!

Happy New Year (with sparkling grape juice)!

Winter Break Skate Lessons

Lucy took a joint skate class with Nickolas over Christmas break.

He took off gliding...

While Lucy tried so very hard.

The wall can be such a relief.

They had a fun and helpful coach for two days.

Here we are on Day 2.

Then we all got to skate together for the public skate afterwards.

And Lucy was doing lap after lap.

Group hug

Ta da, now we're figure skating!

Grandma and Uncle Brian arrive - With Presents!

Went to check out the Capital tree when they landed.

Lucy hugged everything she received.

Someone is happy with his "Might Ducks" trilogy of hockey movies.

Christmas Day

Santa came!  And had some cookies and milk.

We can read our own names now!

Christmas Eve

Preschool Christmas Concert

Her own chauffeur back to her classroom.

Lucy sang beautifully.

Someone saw her daddy.

And ran to him as he was filming.

Our favorite Miss Jeanine.

So thirsty after all of the singing.

Taking a bow.
