Christmas Day

We began our Christmas morning at home...

Santa brought Sophia an awesome princess bike!

I'm a princess! I'm a princess!

Then it was off to Baba and Nana's
house for breakfast and more presents!

Sophia opened presents with her 

cousins Annabella, Anthony, and Leo!

This is soooooo awesome! I love Christmas!

Sophia gave Auntie Wendy a picture of her and Annabella.

What did you get Baba and Nana? Whoa! A Mickey Mouse!

Leo showed off a picture of all the cousins...very cute!

After a long and festive morning, we headed east to 

Grandma and Papa Grimm's house for dinner and MORE presents!

Look Daddy! It's a doll house from Grandma and Papa!

I'll help you Uncle David! What did you get?

I'll help you too, Grandma and Mommy!

Needless to say, Sophia was a big help on Christmas!

Thank you for all my wonderful presents Grandma and Papa!

After dinner, we went to visit Great Grandma Wilma! 

Sophia really enjoyed her 3rd Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night!

Christmas Eve at Aunt Dianne and Uncle Ken's House

We spent Christmas Eve with Craig's family in Alta loma, CA. 

It is always a full house and a ton of fun! 

This year Sophia really got into the Christmas spirit!

Sophia passed out the pinecones she 

hand painted and decorated to all her cousins.

Whoa! Look at all these presents! 

 

Whatever could it be? A Belle doll! 

And books! I love reading books!

Thank you Cousin Jennifer! I love my new Belle dress!

See Mommy...I'm a princess!

Making Pinecone Ornaments

Sophia and Grandma have been working hard on her

pinecone ornaments she is making for the family.

First you have to brush all the dirt off the pinecone.

Then, very carefully, you have to paint 

on the "snow" with white paint. 

 Then it's inside for some gluing (and lunch)!

Sophia carefully glued on the red and green garland.

These beads are so confusing!

Those beads look good on and off the pinecones!

Well, one pinecone done...ten more to go!!!
