a few christmas moments...

a few christmas moments: i feel pretty bad because i wasn't able to capture as many christmas moments as i have in the past. Christmas Eve I came down with the stomach flu and am finally recovering 4 days later. I hope I got enough to share Sophia's first Christmas. Here are just a few...
sophia with great-grandma marilyn
kids playing with livi's new game, "elefun"

capturing one of those amazing smiles...

bathing beauty...

bathing beauty: tonight was one of those nights when i just had to get the camera. Sophia was in the bathtub and she was looking so cute. She has been sick, so it amazes me how she can be so cheerful with her nose running and her ears bothering her. What a cutie (but of course I am biased)...

christmas elves...

christmas elves:sophia - 7 months
livia - 6 months (with the same christmas hat and onesie)


catch-up...

catch-up: it has been awhile, since i added some pictures. 2 weekends ago we visited the Macy's 8th floor with our girls' godparents and friends, Paul and Laurie. I think they look better with our kids than we do!


livi decided she wanted to see santa after the 8th floor exhibit. We waited for almost 45 minutes to see Santa. As we were next in line Livi said to Bobby, "I really don't want to see Santa." You can bet we saw Santa after all that wait!


the fam at macy's 8th floor...
