Frosty the Snowman...

Have you ever seen a {FOUR} layer Snowman? Well after seeing Andy and Emily's "Frosty" Eric had to out do Andy's efforts! As I was baking 6 dozen cookies for my Mom's Cookie Exchange, Eric was doing what he does best...playing with Lucy. They had a blast...although Lucy was too busy eating the {white} snow to help much.

We have loved the snow this year. I wish it would have stayed through Christmas. Eric and Lucy would throw snowballs at me every time I opened the front door for the past week.

Poor Frosty is now laying on his belly, "taking a nap."

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

"Your Majesty"

"Please, Your Majesty." or "Thank you, Your Majesty."

.

{maj·es·ty}
1. a. The greatness and dignity of a sovereign.
b. The sovereignty and power of God.
2. Supreme authority or power: the majesty of the law.
3. a. A royal personage.
b. Majesty Used with His, Her, or Your as a title and form of address for a sovereign.
4. a. Royal dignity of bearing or aspect; grandeur.
b. Stately splendor; magnificence, as of style or character: the Parthenon in all its majesty.

I will take a number of those definitions...and I will take the comment from my dear Lucy any day! As of late, Lucy will say "Your Majesty" if she is asking for something or to say "thank you, Your Majesty." Eric was not aware of this until tonight. I was at the kitchen table wrapping presents and every time I reached for the tape...it was gone.

.

Me:"Lucy can I have the tape please?"

Lucy:"Here you go , Your Majesty."

Me:"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Eric:{action} rolling his eyes in the background as he listens.

I am pretty sure Lucy learned this from an episode of

"The Backyardigans." Most of you probably know exactly what I am talking about.

Oh, it is so fun having {royalty} in the house!

"...she's makin' a list..."

Did you see #2 on the {list}? Where did that come from? We were in the car and she was going over what she was going to ask for Christmas...

out pops "and a skateboard"..

Eric and I look at each other and asked "what did you just say?"

Yes, I wrote the letter...but she told me everything she wanted it to say and what color to write it in.

(thanks Big Reg for the awesome picture!)

Lucy was so excited to go to the {Post Office} to send the letter off to Santa. In the meanwhile she was not so happy about taking pictures of this event...she'll thank me someday!

We hope {Santa} gets Lucy's letter...we didn't quite know his exact address!

The spirit of Christmas would not be the same without children.
