Christmas Day 2009!

A nice, quiet Christmas morning with Gigi & PopPop. Always good to start out with a book by the fire.

On to the gifts! A fabulous dress and beret from Gigi. Tres populaire!


Then to Aunt Kathy's for Christmas Dinner with the whole family. There were just too many way-too cute kids there to take photos of much else! Here are: Sophie, Addison, Elizabeth, and part of Amanda wrangling Alex. Joyeux Noel, tout le monde!

Christmastime Fun

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

Lately Sophie has been talking a lot about seasons and what happens when. We keep saying that sometimes in winter it snows, and here she has confirmation that indeed, it IS winter!

I think she likes it.
Merry Christmas!

Colorado Cousins!

We traveled to Heather's family in Colorado for Christmas week, and boy, was our Dance Card full! Starting with nothing less than Sophie's first-ever dance class with cousin Addison! Here she is doing quite a lovely arabesque, and unbeknownst to any of us, she is remarkably good at chaussees as well. Heather is thrilled at the tiny dancer genes that have trickled down into her daughter...

Then home for some rest and reading time with Cousin Addison...
...a little hair dressing from Gigi and Heather....
...piano time, of course....
...and then to Bounce Town! A big warehouse full of bouncy houses was just about the most crazy fun thing Sophie had seen yet. And all this in one day before naptime!!!!

Playdate

Unity and Polly and Brixton (not pictured) came over to play today. Unity and Sophie really did do a lot more than just stand in the corner and be cute... but it is pretty cute!
