Christmas

I don't even know where to begin?

Really, I am at a loss for words.

Shocking I know!

Let's just do a picture essay shall we?

I only have a bazillion million pictures to share.

I keep this blog so that down the road I can remember all the good times that we share and do with our precious little girl.

Sometimes I feel I don't do it justice.

I want to write down more but when I have a chance I don't feel inspired or feel the inclination. So my posts may be sporadic or they may come in bunches when the mood strikes.

Sophia keeps me busy especially since she decided sleeping really isn't that cool anymore.

She is talking up a storm. I am amazed daily.

Today when she woke from her nap (a small new years miracle) I went into her room and picked her up out of bed and she hugged me tight and said "thanks mom for my new pillow, it's nice".

My heart melted.

But you wanna know the funny part??

Her pillow isn't new...haha it's her same ol' pillow she's had forever!

Funny little munchkin, how I LOVE you!!

So with no further ado here are some photos of our very magical, full of special memories Christmas!!

The perfect Christmas tree at Auntie Sara and Uncle Dave's house!

My parents flew in on the 21st and we spent our Christmas at Sara and Dave's house in Canmore.

We didn't want to leave. ever.

On Christmas Eve we met Martha the reindeer.

There were five other reindeer there. We let them go since we knew they had a busy night ahead of them!
