Christmas 2016

What fun we had at Christmas! We were delayed going down to Cedar by a day because of a huge storm around Cove Fort. Crazy stuff happens on that stretch of the highway and we have learned to avoid it if we can whenever a storm is brewing. We left Friday without a hitch and Sof entertained herself in the backseat for a whopping 3.5 hours by coloring, watching Frozen, coloring, reading, playing games and coloring. That girl is quite the traveler and no longer takes a nap to get her through - we can do hard things.

Greg was able to push snow on my Dad's 'Green Machine' Saturday, then spent the afternoon helping him on various projects. We displayed our talents and had the most irreverent Nativity ever, with Sofi vacuuming in the middle of everyone the whole time, but we did it and that's what counts. Sof opened Santa Christmas jammies and was my mini me for a day.


She loves rocking chairs

Christmas morning dawned and we all woke excited to see what Santa had brought us.

She loves Minnie Mouse!!!
Obviously he's thrilled

Not pictured is me beaming from excitement over my new pressure cooker and blutooth speaker!!!

After opening all of her presents, she went right over to this chalk board and started drawing. I now know what to get her for her birthday.

Christmas Jammies!!!
These two were best buddies the whole trip!
Her pants kept falling down to her ankles, so we used duct tape. Problem solved.

It was fun to have Christmas on a Sunday. The program at my home ward was short and sweet, and it was fun to catch up with people I haven't seen in a really long time. In the words of Sof, "Happy Jesus."
