Videos of Lucy

Just a few videos I took of Lucy today !

Christmas 2008

I am so glad Nanny and Papaw were here with us in California for Christmas this year. We had a wonderful time, both in Disneyland and here at our home. We got back from Disney on Tuesday afternoon and after some much needed rest, we woke up Christmas Eve and started getting things together for our Christmas day lunch. Nanny and I made a grocery list early last week but I lost it before Chad and I ever made it to the store on Friday evening. Needless to say.. I forgot some key ingredients for our lunch so Nanny and I had to make a last minute run to the store. Lucy, Chad and I opened all of the gifts from our extended family- Thank you to those who sent a gift. Nanny and Papaw opened their gifts from us, Lucy went to bed to wait on Santa and Chad sat up to put together her Power Wheels 4 wheeler and babydoll crib. We had to wake Lucy up this morning to see her "santa" gifts.. this time next year Im sure she will be the one waking us up. Of course, Lucy's favorite gift was her babydoll and the baby crib. After checking out "Santa's" gifts, Nanny and I made lunch then we took Lucy to the park. It was a perfect Christmas day ! I will be sad to see my grandparents head back to MS tomorrow but hopefully I will get to see them again soon. 2009-Here we come !

December 2008 and Disneyland

Disneyland, Here We Come..

We are so excited to be leaving for Disneyland early Saturday morning and can't wait to see Nanny and Papaw once we arrive. This week has been super busy for us. Between the last minute shopping, wrapping gifts, and getting the house in order we havent had much to time to just sit and enjoy each other. This trip will be a great way for us to share and enjoy the beautiful Christmas season.

Im not sure if I mentioned it in another post, but Chad is up for the "Airman of the Year" award. I dont know how they choose a winner but Im pretty confident Chad has it in the bag- he, on the other hand is not. I guess because he knows a few of the guys he is up against and feels that they have a better shot. He should find out soon and I will keep you all posted. Also- Chad is up for BTZ (below the zone) to up his rank to Senior Airman. If he makes it, he will be a Senior Airman six or so months before he would normally make it. He is up against a few guys but again, I am certain that he will get it. Being in the military has been such an awesome experience for Chad already and I am extremely proud of him. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas ! Check back next week for pictures from Disney.

Happy Birthday, Papaw !

Dear Papaw- We hope you have a fabulous birthday tomorrow. We can't wait to see you and Nanny on Saturday. Enjoy the video from Lucy. We love you ! By the way- I need some updated photos of you and Lucy. This one is from last Christmas but it is the most recent of just the two of you. I'll be sure to take lots while you're here !

Santa Flew in on the U2

There was a kids Christmas party on the flightline today where Chad works. Santa even flew in on the U2 and since Chad has weekend duty, he was there taxiiing him in. It was exciting getting to see Chad work and getting to see Santa too. Lucy was not too fond of Santa last year but she couldnt wait to sit on his lap today and tell him what she wants for Christmas. After standing in line for about 20 mins, Lucy finally got her chance to sit on Santa's lap. When asked what she wanted for Christmas, she proudly announced "a present." Santa gave a jolly laugh, gave her a candy cane and told us how adorable she was. It was a nice start to a very foggy Saturday morning ! Here are a few pictures- you can tell how foggy it is here from the airplane pics.

Nanny and Papaw are Coming to Town..

In just 18 short days, Nanny and Papaw will be flying into California to spend their Christmas Holiday with us. We will pick them up from the Los Angeles airport on December 20th and spend the following 2 days at Disneyland. This will be mine and Lucy's first time to ever go to Disneyland and I couldnt be more thrilled that it is during the Christmas season. I have heard that Disneyland is beautiful this time of year. And I believe it after checking out their website and viewing some photos. It makes my heart smile knowing that I get to share my first Disneyland experience with my own child. I can't wait to see Lucy's eyes light up as we take our very first walk down Main St. There will be many Christmas events going on while we are there and I am sure we will be attending one of them, if not more. I will be taking lots of pictures while we are there so be sure to check back later this month for an album full of "magical" photos. We will leave Anaheim on the 23rd and make the long 6 hour drive back to our house. At least we will have plenty of "close" family time on the way since all 5 of us will be piled into my Honda. Once home, we will start getting things ready for "Santa" to come. Lucy will get to open her Christmas gifts from family and a few from Chad and me on Christmas Eve. And of course, the next day Lucy will get to see her gifts from "Santa Clause," and we will have a nice Christmas meal prepared by Nanny and me. Unfortunately, Nanny and Papaw have to return home on the 26th so my Papaw can go back to work. I can't express enough how excited I am about my grandparents joining us for Christmas this year, because who knows, it may be a while before we are able to spend another Christmas with our loved ones.
