christmas 2010

christmas 2010 was wonderful!

our family christmas eve in our pj's

we started out christmas eve day at the kitchen's. then went to grandma kitchen's for yummy chicken noodle soup (with noodles we made) and fun.

sophie got a new puppy from rachel. she loves it!

trying on my new ear muffs.
we got a sweet new pressure cooker from jd's parents. can't wait to make something in it!

christmas morning we went to my mom's for more presents and breakfast.

i love the reindeer bum. sophie thinks its a puppy.

probably sophie's favorite gift. i put it under the tree, unwrapped. i brought her downstairs in the morning and took her over to the tree. the first thing she saw was the puppy and couldn't wait to hold it. she was squealing.

sophie stayed up super late on christmas eve...11:30. she was really happy so we let her play. then she wanted to sleep in. we had to wake her up at 8:00 to get going.

soph with all her loot...from us. she was a little spolied. i think her birthday will be a little low-key on the present side of things. what do i get her for her birthday a week and half after christmas?

after a long nap, we went to visit my aunt/uncle and cousins. always fun to see family!

then, we went to my dad's and opened MORE presents. we were spoiled from everyone!

the girls playing with their zhu zhu pets from grandpa.

adam/allison and ashley/chase weren't able to be here on christmas, so we extended it yet another day and went to my mom's the day after christmas for the rest of the celebration.

emi gave sophie this big, pink puppy. she LOVED it! she was kissing it and saying "puppy" over and over.

and, one last picture to show you how our christmas ended...

poor adam, went off a jump on his snowboard and broke his back in 2 places. he got to take an ambulance ride. he's in a lot of pain and has a long recovery ahead. luckily, he's going to be ok!

we had a fabulous christmas and are very blessed to be able to have our families around to spend lots of time with. now, on to the birthday planning.
