Ponytails and Pigtails

 I have had fun experimenting with Sophie's hair.  She has one section of hair right on the crown of her head that is pretty long and sticks straight up.  I have been curling it with a curler but it is getting a little long for that so I have tried pigtails, a ponytail, and then just kind a scrunching it.  Isn't she pretty?

Oh the Weather Outside is Frighful!

It is hard to keep a baby warm in negative degree weather but lucky for us Sophie has quite a few really cute warm accessories.  This is what we have come up with so far . . .

She is really great to Humor us and let me play dress up!!!

We love Aunt Aubrie!!!

Sad for us but fortunate for the Canada Toronto mission, Aubrie left for the MTC the day after  the New Year.  We know she will be a great missionary and we already miss her!  The hardest part for me was realizing how big Sophie will be when she gets home.  She will be 2.  I am so glad Sophie has such a great Aunt and example to look up to.  We Love Aubrie!!!

Christmas!

We started out the Christmas Holiday with a Woodward Celebration a few days before Christmas.  Everyone was spoiled and the grandkids got lots of new princess dresses, hats, puzzles, etc to play with at grandmas house.   The coon skin was Sophie's pick and she pulled off the look pretty well!

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas at the Waldron household.  This snake quilt was made by Sophie's great Grandma Julie.  Isn't it cute?

Trying on mom's scarf

And here she is with all her treasures!  She did really well opening presents.  Once we would start ripping them she would finish.  She had a lot of presents to open and was pretty worn out for the last few but somehow managed to get them opened.  

So as you can see the only Christmas pictures we got were of Sophie.  Colton and I had a great Christmas too.  It is so great to get to be with family, eat good food, and just relax and enjoy the break.  We love our families so much!

Sophie has met some famous people!

First she got to meet Santa at our Ward Party.   (She really liked his beard)

And then she was lucky enough to get a picture with  Big Blue.  By the smile on her face I think  she liked him!

We are very excited for Christmas at our house and hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving was spend in Idaho this year with my family.  We had a wonderful time, ate way too much, and stayed up way too late playing games every night. 

This was taken the Sunday before Thanksgiving just relaxing after church.  Do they look alike? . . . Most definitely!  I love these two so much!

 Here are 3 of the little babies.  (Just missing Mckay)

 We tried to get a belly pose picture.  As you can see it worked really well. :)

 Here is our family Thanksgiving morning.

 And the Beautiful table

 Cute little Soph

 Does it look like we had enough pies?  (Never enough)

 My contribution was the Oreo pie

 That evening my brother Nate wrote a little play for the kids about the Pilgrims and Indians.  The kids loved dressing up and acting out their parts and dancing the music.  Sophie thought sleep was more important than being in the play but she did make a cute Indian.

 Here are the cute little Indians

And the cute little Pilgrims.

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and now we get to look forward to Christmas!!!

Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy

It is hard to wake up when it is dark outside.

We had to wake her up because it was getting late and we wanted her to sleep through the night but as you can see she did not want to wake up.  She was happy just super sleepy.
