...almost Christmas...foot of snow...

Maybe we don't have a foot of snow, but it's close... o.k., maybe 9 inches. We have had so much cold weather already, and if it's not cold (below 20), it snows. We are supposed to get another 6" tomorrow. It is almost Christmas Eve, and we have had so much snow already, I'm ready to move. We are all a little stir crazy, but loving the warmth of each other and our home. Here's a pic of our tree and stockings...

Sophia and her snowsuit

I put Sophia in her snowsuit the other day to play in the snow. It was hard enough for her to walk with her boots and snowsuit on in the house, and once in the snow she was pretty much stuck. She had more fun having Daddy pull her on her sled around the neighborhood. It reminded me of pulling my nephew Jonas on the same sled last year, he loved it too.

Tis' the season...

We put our Christmas tree up about a week ago, and so far Sophia has been pretty good about leaving the ornaments alone. Sometimes however, you'll find her running and screaming around the house with one in her hand like she just won the lottery.

We also put up our stockings. My mom got us all nice big embroidered stockings last year. Here is Sophia smelling them, she has to smell everything. And if they were on someone's feet, well, she'd sniff them too!

How do I look now?

Sophia really likes to dress up... anything she can put on her head or face really amuses her.

Hide-n-seek

Sophia and her Bodie

Bodie lives next door to us, and Sophia loves to spend time with Bodie. Here they are, while Bodie was working on a science experiment with bubbles, and I was snowblowing the driveway.

Sophia is NOT getting out of her car...

here's a funny video of Sophia and her car. She recently learned the word "No," and needless to say, we are working through it. Daddy didn't help by laughing, but he couldn't help it.

So we're gonna try this blogging thing...

since our friends and family are so spread out, we thought we should finally make a blog of our little family and our doings. We'll do our best to keep it updated, but anyone that knows us probably knows that means to check it once a year. Sophia started walking about 2 months ago so we'll start with a little video of that.
