Okay, I'll admit I'm a much better blogger on my site, than on Sophia's, but I thought you might be interested in seeing some of Sophia's Christmas pictures and hearing about her first interactive Christmas. She loved putting up decorations. For some reason she decided that a little bead from a decoration needed to be in her nose, but from what I've learned most kids do this. The dr. said that it is often disguised as a sinus infection, so parents beware. She was quick to tell me she put a ball in her nose and thanked me for trying to get it out, even though I was unsuccessful. I kept the little thing for the purpose of photographing it and posting it here, but better judgement prevailed.

We spent Christmas Eve with my sister Nancy and her kids and grandkids. We had a blast and Sophia got her first Mr. Potato Head. Here's what she did with that. Hopefully this is not an indication of future piercings.


Here is Bullseye. The cute little rocking horse from Grandma. You push his ears and he makes horse noises and his head goes up and down and the tail shakes back and forth. Too cute!!!!








I bought myself a Bow-dabra this year. I wanted to give gifts just to create the bows. Here's one of my creations on my niece Betsy. I think she could set a new stylish trend




Alas, now Christmas decorations have been packed away. Sophia was asleep while I completed this and when she walked into the living room held out her little hands in confusion and asked. "Where did Christmas go?"

Hopefully it's living in our hearts.
