Merry Christmas

We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and received everything they wished for. We had a very enjoyable day. We opened presents with Sofie this morning, she was so fun to watch. She was really into opening the presents and playing with the toys all day today. The big hits were her baby doll and baby stroller and her tunnel system. She had a blast.

Are there any more in there?

This afternoon we went over to our neighbors house and had lunch with them. They made a pork loin and mashed potatoes that were delicious and a spinach salad with homemade dressing. We left with the recipes for almost everything there. Then we played games and enjoyed visiting with them. We then left and headed straight for Jacob and Andrea's house were we had the full turkey meal. TOO MUCH FOOD, but it was all great. I made an apple pie but everyone was too full to eat any, maybe tomorrow. We have had such an enjoyable past couple of days and are very grateful for the many blessing that we have been given.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas Eve

This morning we went out to breakfast at Market Street Grill. They have a really good breakfast for a really good price. Then we went to Temple Square to see the Christus Statue, Sofie was in awe of how big Jesus was. She sure had fun. She just kept saying Jesus the whole time. It was fun to watch her.

The trip home (this didn't take long)

Then tonight we went over to John Paul and Peggy's parents house. We had great food and a really good time. It was nice to spend some time with them. The weather was bad and I was nervous to go but we were both glad we did. When we got in the car we both said we wished we could have stayed but it was past Sofie's bed time. There was a little dog there that Sofie just loved and the dog liked her too. They say it's rare for the dog to like kids, Sofie followed that dog around the whole time unless someone was offering her food and then she and the dog were both trying to get it. We forgot out camera so no pictures but it was cute.

We hope everyone has a great Christmas. We'll blog again soon.

I know it's been a while

We went to Great Harvest bread store to get Nathan's boss a present and Sofie got a piece of white cinnamon raisin bread. I gave it to her while I stopped by Joann's and all the way to Nathan's work. She was quite the whole time. She loved it and ate just about the whole thing. Too bad I didn't get a loaf.
This is Sofie and Nathan's boss Julie opening her present to Sofie. She got some pajama's and books. The books make sounds to go along with the story and Sofie loved them. She played with them the whole drive home and was quite content. It was great. And then Sofie showing off her new pj's.
We had our good friends the Cox's over the other day and Sofie and Garrion were watching a movie. Poor Garrion didn't really get to watch the movie because Sofie decided that he need lots of hugs, which were really attacks. But Garrion sat there and took it, He is a really good kid.

Just some cute pictures

Sofie and I were messing around the other day and putting as many hats on her head that would fit. As you can see only two made it to the pictures.

Sofie's stockings

Sofie was playing with the stockings the other day and wanted to put the "Shoos" on.


This picture is really for Nathan. I was trying to email it to him but our email attach button says error on page when you try to attach anything. But it is a picture of our Christmas tree obviously. Sofie loves the decorations but she can't get to them. In the bottom of the picture you can see a little bit of the barricade that Nathan built. For this year it will stay how it is, hopefully next year we will paint it and decorate it.

A little bit of trouble and a whole lot of cute!

Sofie discovered how to climb up on the table.

Like my lobster claws.
Just a cute picture.

Cousin Ethan and random pictures

We were able to see Chris, Alyssa and Ethan last week. Here are a couple of pictures of Sofie and Ethan together. Sofie was giving Ethan a cute hug and then suddenly a poke in the eye (sorry Ethan)









Sofie found a new toy to play with (Ethan's car seat). She loved the buckles and obviously thought she had a new seat.
She put her Bronco hat on all by herself. She was pretty proud of herself.



We bought this little seat at a garage sale and Sofie loves it. Here she was chillin with her string cheese. I love this picture with her smile.

The other day I was trying to make dinner. So I taped some paper to the table and gave Sofie some crayons. I started making dinner and then realized that it was too quiet behind me. I turned around to find Sofie with a blue mouth and a partially eaten crayon. Then she decided it was time to be done and ripped the paper up. Oh well so much for that idea. Maybe in a couple months.
