Christmas 2010- Photo Recap

December 27, 2010

I thought I would share some photos from our fun day!
It was a great Christmas and even though my little sophie was
 sick she was a trooper and smiled through her sniffles! ;)
We spent Christmas Eve with all the cousins and aunts/uncles in the area…then went to Christmas Eve Mass. Sophie woke up around 7:45 and the opening of presents/destroying of the house began! 
I made our usual Sausage Egg Strata for breakfast! mmm delicious.
(a tradition we’ve passed on to friends over at imanimama. ;) 
we made it for them last christmas morning!)
after playing/nap time/skyping with family we went over to our friends’ house
 for an early Christmas Dinner. It was a great day. 
We are thankful for all of the blessings in our life..especially for tiny baby jesus. ;)
everyone had fun opening presents..
them middle one is a present from gramma! she sewed sophia a princess dress with a cape that can snap on and off..and a little crown of flowers and bells with ribbons from the back…..ADORABLE! i’ll post the whole outfit soon. it’s a work of art.
Sienna loved anything she could chew on. :)
Dress up Clothes were a hit this year!
We snagged some up after Halloween at Target.
She would try one on…dance…and then ask to try on another one. this went on for quiet a while.

I wrapped up in a basket a bunch of my old beanie babies from when i was younger.. Sophie loved her “babies”
what made me laugh was finding all my little accessories i had crocheted them!!
i’ll have to post photos of them later because they are hilarious. i had the craft bug even then! (i found a mini crocheted messenger bag with an outer pocket…that i just crocheted up as i went!

I hit the jackpot this christmas!
I was given a sewing machine, my first dslr camera:canon rebel T1i!! a fondue pot (funnnn) and some pretty jewelry from each of my girls. oh and santa loaded up my stocking with socks and hairbrushes since i can never find them. haha. thanks santa.
  
Sienna did a lot of lounging while sophia opened presents.



One of Sophie’s favorite presents were her blocks. 
she was busy all morning building things! Today she requested for me to build her a helicopter..i did my best.

ben got an eagles blanket, coffee cup a few other little things and a heated neck massager..you know you are old when you think that is sweet. haha.
Overall..i think everyone had a fun morning Celebrating Jesus’ Birthday. :)
 

I’ve been having so much fun checking out your blogs to see
 your christmas day celebrations! Thanks for sharing!

    I love Sophia in all of her dress up clothes! Too cute! Sienna will LOVE Sophie the Giraffe. She went everywhere with us when Jack was that age.

    YAY for a new camera and sewing machine!

    wow! It looks like you all had such fun – little girls are the cutest! (my little guy is cute too, but there probably won’t be any dress up clothes for him :)
