Awesome.
In other news, we have our Christmas tree up. Here's what it looks like (w/ Lucy this morning):
That is one super-excited child. Seriously, she was bouncing off the walls from Thursday night about getting the tree (which we got on Saturday and didn't decorate until Sunday). She just squeals with delight about Christmas decorating and preparing.
Lucy has been spending lots of time underneath the tree, making Christmas cards. I'd love to say that you could expect one soon in your mailbox, however, she has been very possessive of her cards and artwork of late. I'm not sure what's going on with that. She's been making lovely cards and drawings, but insisting that they are for her or for me or Jake. She's nearly had a fit when I've suggested that we mail them off to our friends and family. So here, for your enjoyment, I'm presenting virtual versions of some of her recent creations. Apparently she's holding out for big collector money once she's famous.
Around Thanksgiving, Hand Turkeys were a recurrent theme:
Prior to that (Halloween) she was on a role with these very cute cats:
She's also into hearts, particularly done with her new metallic-glitter markers:
And this is her interpretation of a Star-On Machine (from Seuss's The Sneeches):
The one recent time she relented on the not sharing artwork was this card she made for our friend Marie; her beloved dog Bizou died this past weekend, and Lucy drew this to cheer her up:
So that's all kinds of heartwarming and whatnot, but here's the conversation that followed:
Lucy: How old was Bizou?
Bridget: She was 16! That's very old for a dog. She was a good dog.
Lucy: Yeah. When Carter dies, we can get a bunny.
Yup, just keeping it all in perspective.
More holiday updates to come, but for now I wanted to get some kind of December post up. Happy Holidays!
