Christmas and More!

I'm back.....but I have to say keeping up with my blog is NOT my talent is this world. I barely check my e-mail everyday so even keeping up on facebook and updating my blog are nearly impossible for me. Saying that, I did want to share some pictures of Christmas and update people on the fact that Bryce and I haven't done or gone anywhere lately and we are just really BORING PEOPLE! We stayed at home through all the holiday season this year. I am one of those people who just enjoys being home....We not fans of travelling on holidays.

We did some fun things with Sophie...until she caught her cold right before Christmas. I can't take her anywhere with a yellow snotty nose...people look at you like "why did you bring your kid here?" Luckily she is still scared of Santa so we only got to see Santa from a distance (a couple of different places). But she sure liked telling everyone else what she wanted Santa to bring her for Christmas. She would blurt out "a new dolly, bath toys, and CANDY". (being the most important!) She got everything she wanted and a new play kitchen. She liked everything she got and I gave her an ELMO doll that DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE! (I thought I had died and gone to heaven to find a elmo doll that doesn't say anything...I'm SO HAPPY!) Bryce and I decided we needed clothes so we just took a shopping trip after Christmas. Like every Christmas I had to return almost everything I bought Bryce. Oh well, I try.

We really had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was just nice to be around our family and enjoy each other's company. It was fun to teach Sophie about the Christmas story...(I may have gone a little too far when I taught her that the donkey Mary rode was Nestor, the Long Eared Christmas Donkey though!)

I hope everyone also had a nice Christmas and enjoy the pictures.

She really enjoyed the cake we got for Jesus because it was his Birthday!

One of Sophie's favorite things is to unwrap hershey kisses for me when I make peanut blossoms. Luckily she only tasted the first one, then she proceeded to unwrap about 40 or more. (way more then I needed, but she enjoyed herself)
