Santa Ships and Mistletoe





This Christmas season has been the busiest yet with holiday parties, visits to the Botanical Garden festival of lights and Snowflake Lane, cookie and ornament exchanges, etc, etc!! I've always loved Christmas, but this season with Sophie has been the best! Last night, we joined our friends, Jolie, Ben, and Levi on her parent's boat. Boats are decked out with Christmas lights and parade around the lake as Christmas carols blare. Jolie's parents were fabulous hosts on the boat, and Sophie did well considering it was 2 hours past her bedtime! (Jolie's dad did have a beard and silver hair, so Sophie associated him with Santa and cried every time he came near her...).

Jolie and Ben's son, Levi, is almost 4 months old. Sophie loved to wave hi to the "baby" and gently pat his head or hold his hand. In 22 years, when these two wed, I'll show them these photos that document Sophie's first move...

I've always said she is an independent, confident, and sassy girl...ooh, la, la...

Sophie didn't even need mistletoe as an excuse to kiss her favorite boy. And Levi couldn't resist the allure of a bald, older woman.

Merry Christmas, friends and family!!
