Christmas...was a month ago

For journaling purposes I am still going to post some Christmas pics even though it feels like forever ago. We had a really fun December. After our good news and trip to Utah we brought Aunt Katy home and stayed at my parents house for two weeks.  We ate, shopped, and played constantly. Lucy loved the attention from Aunt Katy and Danny felt well enough to start playing too.

Exercise is really good for Danny right now-not only will it help him get some strength and energy back but studies show exercise decreases your chance of cancer recurrence.  We started walking in Lafayette for a change of scenery. Lucy loves the "Princess Park" at the end of the loop.

Lucy was old enough this year to really get into Santa. We wrote him a letter and she was sure he would bring her some princess presents. 

Here she is on Christmas morning. I woke up before she did, but Danny wouldn't let me wake her up. Fortunately she woke up soon thereafter and excitedly started calling for me.

 Lucky for her she had been a good girl and Santa brought her a cool Princess castle. She was incredibly spoiled by her grandparents and received MANY more princess gifts as well. All of her presents were wrapped in princess wrapping paper, which was handy because she knew exactly what was for her.

 

 

 

Lucy and I were both really bumbed Christmas is over.  Valentines day just doesn't seem as exciting somehow. Fortunately Santa brought our family a trip to Disneyland in February-so we have something new to look forward to.  Lucy wants to talk about it every day and can't wait to go "where the princesses live".  I can't either-it's where all your dreams come true!
