A Trip to the Zoo

One Saturday back in January we had such nice weather that I decided to take Lucy to the zoo. Josh's Dad was in town for the weekend so he came with us :)

Looking at the Llamas

...and the elephants

The meerkats are one of Lucy's favorites animals to watch

My cutie pie :)

The gibbons

Stopping for a snack

Playing around with my new camera :)

Josh's Dad offered to buy Lucy something from the gift shop and she picked out this red panda. She still sleeps with it and affectionately refers to it as "pandy" :)

What a beautiful day to spend at the zoo!

Snow!

Ok so I'm going to cheat and publish this post from almost 6 weeks ago. Since I use this blog as a way to document happenings in our household I hate not to include it...even though it's so late. I just haven't been making it a priority to update the blog lately.

A "couple of weeks ago" we got a lot of snow! I think there was at least 6-8 inches in Maryville.

Josh stayed home from work so shortly after lunch we headed outside to play! :)

The roads were completely covered...

Stopping to pose for a picture with Daddy...

...and Mommy :)

Heading down the street to the Bennett's House

Lucy and Amelia

Amelia "helping" Lucy make a snow angel lol

Sledding

The girls had fun sledding down one of the ice covered roads near our neighborhood :)

...and down a nearby hill

We all had so much fun playing in the snow and it was fun getting to hang out with our friends :)

Christmas 2010

We had a very busy but fun Christmas this year with both sides of the family. We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house and then went back on Christmas day after spending a few hours at our house that morning. That night we drove down to Chattanooga to spend some time with Josh's family. It was such a busy weekend that I didn't take many pictures until we settled in Chattanooga for a few days. It also might have something to do with the fact that I opened my Christmas present from Josh and his parents on Sunday...a new camera!

I hope you enjoy these few pictures from our Holidays :)

It was so exciting to have a white Christmas this year and the snow even lasted for a couple of days. We went outside on Sunday afternoon to play in it. The guys made a path in the back yard to sled on...

Somebody at Durie's office made these cute reindeer cookies for the girls...

Lucy gobbled hers up :)

The morning after we got back from Chattanooga Lucy saw the Play-Doh she got for Christmas lying outside her bedroom door and she HAD to play with it right then lol. I caught some cute pictures with my new camera...

silly girl

Showing it to Mommy...

Rolling it out

Trying to figure out how to stuff it in her teapot lol

She LOVES her new play-doh :) I think she would play with it all day long if I didn't keep it hidden.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! more pics to come soon :)
