We had such a wonderful Christmas week in Spokane with my family. Sophie was well-loved and spoiled! As usual, my mom didn't stop cooking, cleaning, or entertaining from sun-up to sun-down. Both of my parents were extremely generous and thoughtful with their gifts to Sophie, Doug and me. We loved our time with my brother and Alison (Sophie's Godparents), and Sophie was also able to meet both of her great-grandmothers! Sophie slept some of the best nights EVER!! We hope to continue this trend now that we've returned home. She continues to smile and coo (especially while her diaper is being changed). Her alert and active eyes follow people, shapes, and light around the room. I also think she gets more and more beautiful every morning!
Doug took hundreds of photographs (no kidding), so I've picked out some of my favorites.
(Sophie's shirt reads: What SANTA doesn't bring me, Grandma will!)
(A Christmas cookie decorating competition occurred...Doug was slow but meticulous, Alison was creative and original, and I was boring but efficient!)
(4 GENERATIONS!)
(Doug was so proud of his wrapping for this present that we had to capture it!)
(It wasn't a white Christmas, but we still enjoyed the outdoors with a little fire on Christmas day. Doug and Ali even roasted marshmallows.)
2009 has blessed us with the birth of our baby girl, so we celebrate this year as as ring in the new one. Love, D and E
