Here's the obligatory picture with Santa. Lucia wouldn't sit on his lap by herself, so I was forced to be in the picture. Maybe I should have just let her scream...he doesn't look so jolly as it is.
Lucia had a grand time helping make the Christmas cookies. Here are the photos of her reading the cookbook and mixing the dough, rolling the balls, forming the snowmen, and of course, watching what was going on in the oven. Too bad I didn't get a pic of the finished product! Oh, and please don't mind the bed head...
These videos are a little old (I've been behind on my blogging) but I still wanted to post them. Lucia has gotten pretty good at eating her yogurt all by herself.
Lucia really enjoyed helping decorate the Christmas tree. And since she is the youngest grandchild, following tradition, she got to put the angel on top!
Who says desert kids can't play in the snow? Here's Lucia in the Tempe Beach Park, where they brought the stuff in by the truckload. It was her first "winter" experience.
Lucia is a very good mommy to all her babies. Here she is lining them up so they can take a nap. "Shhhh, you have to be very quiet while they are sleeping!"
One of Lucia's favorite things to do is help Mommy bake. She's always checking the oven to see if what's in there is done. She knows exactly where to find the oven mitts and always puts them on well before the food is finished.
