Christmas 2009

What a great Christmas. Sophia clearly understood that Christmas meant waking up and seeing gifts from Santa and spending time with family. Of course spending time with family also meant opening more gifts!!

Christmas Eve was spent making cookies for Santa, making a gingerbread house, going to church and leaving a note for Santa.
Joy filled the house on Christmas morning when Sophia came down to find that Santa did indeed leave her lots of toys. She got a kitchen set which she LOVED. She immediately started making coffee and cooking breakfast on it. She also got a Leapster which she tested out and ended up playing a game for quite some time.

Grandma Beadle, Grandma Bev and Pop Pop came over for brunch. It was nice to spend some time with them on Christmas. Sophia made gifts for her grandparents. She felt so proud giving the gifts to them.

After a wonderful visit we packed up the car to head to Connecticut for another Christmas celebration with Grandma Barbara. We left around 5:00 PM so went straight to the hotel. Sophia could not wait to see everyone in the morning.
