"Amazing"

Driving home after dropping Lexi off at the Y tonight, the little girls and I stumbled upon some great nativity scenes.

Lizzy was super excited.

Morgan, not so much... she fell asleep.

But Lizzy wasn't going to let a sleepy sister keep her from checking out baby Jesus. She ran up to this one, hoping and wishing it would be a real baby in the manger. She was a little disappointed when she realized it was just a doll, but she still  thought it was "amazing." 

Our next stop was at a living nativity. Yep, real live animals and people. Lizzy loved the donkey and the sheep, and one of the volunteers even offered to let her try on the angel costume. She was quick to reply "My am not an angel."

Lizzy has informed the rest of the family that they "totally" missed out tonight, and plans to take them to see what she saw tonight.

She also saw a house that is decorated to the max with Christmas lights. It's a house we drive by nearly everyday, but apparently she never noticed it before. Here was our conversation as we approached the house:

Me: "Lizzy, check out this house. I know we see it a lot, but it's really cool."
Lizzy: "Whoa! Smack me with a pickle.. that is amazing!"

We'll be taking the family by that house on our tour tomorrow too :)
