Aiden came a week after Christmas to spend time with us. It was great having him visit. Sophia loves having her brothers around. Aiden had a great first semester at Ithaca. He is doing very well at school.
We celebrated another Christmas with Uncle George, Aunt Tracey, Aunt Linda, Chuck and all the girls in New Jersey. Uncle George found a great time share for us to stay in. Our rooms were huge. Everyone had a blast hanging out together in the evenings. Sophia, Hollie, Steve and Aiden went swimming. I stayed in the hot tub! The older girls went shopping then all the girls met up for a game of mini golf. We had a wonderful Italian dinner at night. We looked through old albums we got from my mother's house. It was bittersweet. It was so nice to be together but without my mom there was something missing.
We had a couple small snow storms this month. Sophia was out playing in the snow for hours. There is nothing like sledding and building snow forts. Great to be out in the fresh air in the middle of the winter.
Sophia started playing violin in the school orchestra. She had her first concert this month. She practiced hard for this. They sounded great for a bunch of kids only playing a couple of months. She tells us we wants to continue this and join chorus next year.
Sophia picked out new glasses. She looks great in them. They are in blue, her favorite color.
