Whose bathroom is this anyway?!?

Lately Lucy has really liked going into our bathroom and playing with my makeup, hair things, lotions, etc. Pretty much anything she has the ability to reach she will get and want done to herself. A little while back she spilled a lot of makeup, on the carpet. She got in trouble for that and now keeps her distance from the makeup. She still loves hair products though. Yesterday she kept bringing me my jar of clay/wax/sculpting stuff that I used to use when I had shorter hair. I said fine you want it, I will give it to you. I think I had as much fun as Lucy did!







I had a hard time getting the picture because she kept wanting to hold the camera herself. Thus that last picture!

Lucy Cuteness

Lucy is turning into such a big girl. She went to nursery (for those who don't know nursery is where 18 months-3 years get to go during church so the parents can actually enjoy a lesson) She was only 16 months, but they let her try it out. She did an excellent job! She didn't cry and played well. She even ate her snack at the table!!! This was huge! Dave has really been missing his spiritual boost, because he takes the munchkin in the hallway to keep her from screaming, instead of being able to hear all of the great lessons and talks. Lucy also can go down the stairs backwards now, which is great because I am tired of lifting her up. My back is tired of it too! Lucy has become quite the little chatter and dancer. The videos below will show that. We also started setting up for when Grant arrives. We moved the bed into Lucy's room and the crib and changing table into another room. We tried to put Lucy in the bed, but she was not ready for that. She can get off the bed but not on. We got a bed rail for it, hoping that would help her, but she just doesn't want to sleep there. She loves to play on the bed and roll around in the pillows, just not sleep. Oh well. Now she is in the pack and play until she is ready for the big girl bed. Overall she is a great kid and we feel lucky to have her!

Here are just some recent videos and picturs. Enjoy the Lucy Cuteness!

Broccoli Pizza!!!

For Christmas Dave got me a pizza stone because lately I have been craving a broccoli pizza which don't exist here. I am probably one of the few who likes broccoli pizza so much they would find a way to perfect it themselves. This was my third attempt at it and it was definitely the best of the three. It is still not as good as the original (in NJ). However it did fulfill the craving, which was the point of all the experimenting!





The pizza was made of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and steamed broccoli! Yum!

Christmas with the Crests

This year for Christmas we celebrated a little early because we were going to be going out of town. We got up early put all the presents under the tree and filled up the stockings. It was so fun to be doing it my self for our little family. I can't wait to do it again next year. Christmas is a wonderful time of year and just seems to be getting better and better. Here are some cute pictures from our Christmas morning.

Lucy is already playing!

Here are just some fun videos of her opening and playing with presents. They are in no particular order.















Thanks everyone for the wonderful Christmas this year. It really was the best! Merry Christmas to anyone we missed calling!

Lucy Has Hair!

I was giving Lucy a bath the other day and noticed she has quit a bit of hair. So I tried an experiment. Lucy has enough hair for pig tails!!! Her hair is very fine so the bows tend to fall out if you touch them, but her hair is long enough!
