Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Lucy was sort of sick for both of these family laden events.  She has a bad cough and has been on nebs now every four hours including over night.  I was really proud of her behavior both Christmas Eve and Christmas day given that she had a very disrupted sleep AND was on the albuterol ... which has historically turned her into a hyper - emotionally charged - challenging super-stinker.   She did really really well.

Lucy LOVES her cousin Tyler


getting weary of the coughing - mama forgot her nebulizar at home so she was over due


but cousin Tyler helps her ease her woes


a quick change into some fairy dress-up clothes


the GLOVES are back


Tyler loves Lucy too


a post-present cookie break


reading the Night Before Christmas with Grandpa before heading home.  Lucy got this book from a friend of mine before she came home.  I ask my dad to read it to her every Christmas Eve and then write a message inside the book.  It's a sweet tradition and Lucy will be able to read love notes from Grandpa forever.


after a night of coughing.  lucy gets bundled up for the snowy/icy drive to cousin Scotts.


she's quite the sight in the morning snow


as the abuterol kicks in so does the silly antics


a snuggle with cousin Scott




a scene I came across this morning
