Playing Catch Up

I have been pretty disconnected from the blog lately. I have been pretty distractable lately, so it's hard to pin me down to write too much. Sophia has been downright hilarious lately. She's also been full of vim and vinegar and huge amounts of 3-year-old energy and chatter. It takes some getting used to, and I'm still adjusting...

We've been busy with celebrating and preparing for Christmas. Now I'm excited for the big day to get here.

We made another batch of Christmas cookies. Sophia has been really trying to "help" with everything, and if not helping she wants to do it all by herself. I'm surprised at all she can do on her own, but it still takes a lot of patience to allow her to try new things.

 

One morning we took some cookies across the street so Aaron, William and Sophia could decorate and enjoy their own cookies.

 

Here she is displaying her edible art.

 

We have been enjoying our friends. Some stranger than others.

That's my fondue up there. Oh, so good.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Or today, I guess. We get to go to Grandmary's to open gifts and hang out. Sophia is SO pumped for it. Then Christmas Day will be the three of us. Breakfast casserole. Snacks. Going to see Princess and the Frog. It should all be a good time. I can't wait. Have I mentioned that I love Christmas?

I hope you are all enjoying the time to celebrate this time of year in your own ways. Traditions are great. New traditions are wonderful. Memories are made in lots of ways.
