Christmas Morning - Part II


Julia showing Unc (Randy) how to use the Purell - they had a little lesson on how to use it & how not to lick your fingers afterwards. :o) Sweet Miss Julia is doing great around Lucia. It is a lot for a 2 1/2 year old to remember not to touch a baby with unclean hands, not to kiss her & not to play with her toys... but our little niece is quite a smart little lady! Randy was great with Julia turning the hand sanitizer into quite a little teaching lesson & he made it really fun for her - now she's teaching the rest of the family what to do!


Miss Julia opening a present that was as big as she is! Christmas is so much more alive & incredible with little kids! This monstrous present was a shopping cart! Julia loved it! The big gift next to it was a whole set of pretend food items - she's all set to grocery shop!



Grandma Susan with Lucia & Great Grandma Alice

On Christmas morning, we drove from Centralia to Lakewood & enjoyed an incredible breakfast made by Christy & Alex (Randy's sister & her husband) at Grandma Susan's house. It was a very special day although a bit different than usual because we aren't taking Lucy around big groups of people. Typically we'd attend 2 big family gatherings over the holidays, but we skipped them both & opted for smaller gatherings of immediate family to keep the chances of Lucy catching a cold lower. We greatly missed our extended family!! But, we're thankful that Lucy's staying very healthy (& so are we!). After breakfast & gifts, Randy drove over to the family get together at his aunts house for a short time while I stayed with Lucy & Susan. It was a wonderful day, relaxing & not rushed whatsoever. Thank you Webster's & Legler's for helping to make our Christmas so very special!
