Christmas 2013

Not much time to write a lengthy post (& I know you all probably want to see the photos more anyway!) We had a very special Christmas with Sofia this year and made even more special by the awesome and thoughtful and fun toys and gifts sent to her by her fabulous family! We wish you'd all been here to see her face when she opened them, and then watched as she played and played! She will have so much fun!! And we can't wait for her to wear all her new clothes and cuddle up in her two fabulous blankets made by two fabulous great grandmothers (there's nothing that says Christmas MORE to me than handmade blankets from grandmothers!!) 

Hope your holiday was as wonderful and love filled as ours! We are late to our Christmas dinner upstairs... all still in our jammies and a baby who's still snoozing! Best be getting ourselves together & up those stairs for a yummy Christmas dinner with Seth's brothers, sister-in-law and our niece and nephew! Happy holidays!!

Christmas Eve

Just a few quick snaps of our Christmas Eve festivities. We hosted and had soup (a family tradition of my family's.... minus the fact that they have oysters and we had chili... I'll keep SOME of the tradition going!) 

I wish I'd gotten a few more photos. Sofia got some sweet gifts from her aunt, uncle and cousins, but my flash batteries made my flash go on the fritz. Jac did get a sweet photo of sofia and posted it on instagram though!

My brother Alan is so great with kids! Can't wait for him to have his own!!! ;)

Playing! Silly baby!

Bath Baby

Not even 5 minutes pass between games. We are getting our fill of peek-a-boo in this house!

A Cold Walk

The sun was shining bright, and despite the freezing cold temps outside, we decided to brave it anyway. Sofia doesn't care about the weather. She just wants to be outside (& it's been that way since she was a little little baby!) 

This is where she finds her stick. Which she keeps with her for the rest of the walk... until she finds the slide at the playground!

Those eyelashes! She gets so sweetly bashful when strangers talk to her or give her eyes!

Love these mittens AND that she leaves them on. For now at least!
