Snow Family

This afternoon as Lucy woke up from her nap, I realized what a beautiful afternoon it had turned out to be, so we put on sweaters and boots and headed outside to play. She decided to bring her soccer ball and some cups to play in the snow. We spent a while kicking the ball around and then decided to build miniature snowmen using her cups. The first snowman we created she said was Dad so we decided to make a whole snowman family (left to right: mom, dad, Lucy, Max). They are sitting proudly on our front porch. When Papa got home, he decided that she needed to see what a real snowman looked like and proceeded to build a 5 foot snowman in front of their house.

We joined Tyler's family for dinner and FHE this evening as well. As we were preparing dinner she had a few raisins in her hand and asked me if I wanted to play a game. I asked her what type of game she wanted to play and she responded, "The raisin game." I told her I wasn't sure I knew that one. She then proceeded to throw a raisin to which I said, "oh, Lucy, don't throw them." She charmingly replied, "but that's the game!" We then took raisins and blueberries and hid them in measuring cups. I told her not to peak, which she got a kick out of and soon wanted a turn to hide them on mom too.
During dinner, there was a lot of talking and a little bickering. At one point Lucy told everyone that there was no talking at the table. Jason asked where she came up with this stuff and then proceeded to say that anything weird that she says must come from her dad. She replied by saying, "Jason, that's enough!" in a very stern voice.
For FHE we learnt about the atonement and enjoyed singing nursery songs for the activity portion of the evening. Lucy stood at the front of the living room with an Archie Comic in hand and led us as we sang "Child of God" and "Follow the Prophet". She then proceeded into the less spiritual songs, such as Popcorn Popping, and Mah-na Mah-na, from the Muppets. She had all of us laughing with her chorister abilities. It was a pretty great FHE.
