Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

Lots of family, lots of food, and lots of fun.

All last week, Sophie wrote a letter to Santa daily, asking him for a ball. When she found one under the tree, she grabbed it, yelled "YAY!!!" and ran around the house with it.

At Grandpa's house, she was surprised with a new Big Wheel. It's a good thing she has those long legs, cause she can already ride it like a champ.

As for Sam, he enjoyed days of being held constantly by various relatives.
Just what he wanted.

Bear?

Sophie was (is) such a blanket lover.


I think this time around we may have a bear lover on our hands. He's currently holding this bear, jabbing its eyes. True love.

Sibling Love

Today we're just hanging out at home.

Here's Sam

I have the hardest time taking a picture of Sam. For some reason, I can't capture him as he really looks in real life. (I've always wondered if I have the same problem with the camera, because I usually hate every picture that's taken of me.)


But today, I finally have pictures of Sam that look like he really looks. Thanks (again) to Ashley, I can finally have documentation of this little cutie.

It's Not Just the Hair

He's cute with a hat on too.
