Once upon a time...

...when Lucy was born she was given a gift from her Great Uncle & Aunt, John & Susie. It was a gift card to

There was one little problem...the town that Lucy lived in did not have a Barnes & Noble. So her Mom put it in her wallet to use when they came across a B&N. A couple of {years} later Lucy's Mom realized that the new book store in town was a {Barnes & Noble}! So off they went to the book store to get some new books.

When we arrived Lucy was so very excited to see ALL the books she could pick from. She grabbed a stuffed animal and sat down at the table. Lucy pointed to what book she wanted her Mom to read to her. After a few books Lucy spotted this...

Thomas the Train table! How could books compete with it? They wouldn't! After many books and a few hard decisions, her {Mom} picked some out.
When Lucy and her Mom went to pay for the new books, Lucy saw these down the mall...

Lucy thought it would be pretty cool to be a {Fire Women} until she saw this...

and she realized she could be like her Mom...talk on her phone and drive all at the same time. Just as she crossed her legs to relax...there it was, out the window...


the {Ice Cream Truck}! Lucy had so much fun taking Mom's order. She did not want to leave but it was time to go. After a few tears were shed they were on their way home.

Lucy couldn't wait to open her new books and puzzle. Hopefully after completing her puzzle and reading her books she will repeat her {ABC's & 123's} perfectly!

{The END}

As you can see...back to the {old} toys again.

Lucy looks like you had some fun. You picked out some good books. We used our gift card at B Dalton. We found out it was the same business. Your hair looks way cute, Lucy.

My kids love Barnes and Noble and the trains...I want to glue Ian's trains together just like theirs, maybe then he would play with it instead of just dumping them out and throwing them.

Matching her underwear to her outfit! You haven't changed; I do believe you owned every color in college.
