Merry Christmas

Christmas was great! Sofie actually played with the toys Santa brought instead of the wrapping and boxes that the toys came in.

Sugar Plums danced in her head in the week leading up to Christmas. Many nights she went to sleep in her Santa hat.

Mommy played around with the camera trying to get some Bokeh (WIkipedia & Pioneer Woman definitions). Shocker, but I actually got better bokeh with my point and shoot than I did with my big DSLR. I think it's my lense. I need a smaller f-stop to get better bokeh and I think mine won't go low enough?

This one isn't really bokeh, but its fun!

SNOW!!

I'm not even sure how much snow we have, but it's over a foot and it's still coming down!

But first, we went to Hilary's almost annual cookie party last night (they didn't have one last year).

Sofie just loved Barb! And Barb was great with her and entertained her most of the night.

The spread....
Hilary and Colin's "Most Festive" cupcakes.

Marc chilling (check out all those lights on that tree!!)

I had to wrangle Sofie out of her "Pretty Woman"boots before we could go play in the snow.

Getting dressed. Can you believe every store was out of snow pants yesterday? We checked Target, Wal-Mart, and Babies R Us. So we had to make do with 2 layers of sweatpants. At least we already had snow boots.

Sofie had a blast. She kept trying to eat the snow.

What have we been up to? Part 3

What else could we possibly be doing??

We met Mickey Mouse at the nursery where we bought our Christmas tree.
IMG_5380

We put up and decorated our tree. Again, Sofie was not happy to part ways with her ornaments to put it on the tree.
IMG_0450

We went to our very first movie in the theater! The Princess and the Frog. Cute movie, great music! (Lighting was horrible for a phone picture without a flash.) She did great!

Daddy took a nap.

And we had to get a picture of BunBun.

What have we been up to? Part 2

What else have we been up to??

We watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with the dog.

IMG_0431

Did a little shopping with Elaina...
Do we want this nice sports car?
IMG_0436

Nah, I think we should we go for the wagon.
IMG_0438

We had some snow...but not enough. I'm sorry, when it snows I want enough so I don't have to go to work. I want to snuggle with a blanket, a good movie, and warm beverage.
IMG_0023

We saw the Bull Run Festival of Lights. Disregard the blurriness...they don't let you stop your car to get a good picture....but on the up side, we ran into Marc's best man who we lost contact with and hope to see them again in January.

We celebrated poop in the potty! (Now if only I can get her to do it again!) We celebrated at Dairy Queen.
IMG_0045

IMG_0046

We rearranged Sofie's bedroom to get her bed away from the drafty window (and get the toys out of the living room).
IMG_0053

IMG_0054

Well, most of the toys. There are a few still out there.

What have we been up to? Part 1

I know, I know....I've been bad. I'll try and catch you up and we'll do better going forward.

So, we've been throwing some tantrums....princess tantrums no less.
IMG_0306

IMG_0309

We "sold" some hot dogs out of our Roach Coach.
IMG_0319

Partied so hard we slept with our head hanging out of the bed.
IMG_0325

Went shopping with Michelle.
IMG_0329

And insisted on trying on adult clothes in the dressing room....diaper free. Notice the wet spot. I don't recommend being diaper free in a dressing room.
IMG_0331

We went to Cathy's 50th Birthday Party. Happy Birthday Cathy!
IMG_0335

IMG_0338

We played.
IMG_0377

And we got another ear infection.
