Lucy's turning 4!

Lucy will be four years old on Saturday. Where has the time gone? Looking for photos for her class birthday celebration (just one from each year of her life), I am amazed at how much she's grown. How can that tiny baby in my arms be the little girl napping on the sofa?

Yet there she is; the pictures show her growing year by year: more teeth, hair a little longer; from lying down to sitting to standing to running. And today is just another snapshot, another moment in her life that I will look back on someday and wonder how she was ever so little. Time for me to get in the picture now.

Christmas

Lucy even wore a dress for Mass on Christmas Eve.

Just after Santa finished...

Doesn't everyone have Roman soldiers peeking out of the top of their Christmas stocking?

Anna got the music player she wanted!

Thomas asked for a set of Notre Dame playing cards.

Little Miss Easy-to-please--delighted with presents in general.

...but who wouldn't want to be a princess?
