Christmas Festivities

Sophie probably thinks Christmas lasts 3 days because that's what happened this year. Christmas with Grandpa Goodsell & TJ on Christmas Eve, with the Masons on Christmas Day and the day after with Grandma & Grandpa Davis. Sophie's favorite thing to do was pass out presents. I think she liked that even more than actually opening them. Hope you all enjoyed your Christmases. Looking forward to a new year full of exciting things including a trip to Seattle to visit Papa when he gets radiation, Phil leaving for tech school Mar. 1-May 11th, and my Kiwanis boys singing for the legislature! Happy New Year everyone!

Kiwanis Holiday Tour

I took my boys on tour Dec. 11th and then we had our very own holiday concert at Boise High that night. It turned out totally awesome and the boys were fabulous. It was nice to have our own concert because many of the boys were able to sing solos and even play their instruments for us. We even had opera singer Jason Detwiler as our guest soloist. I'm very proud of them and looking forward to the spring.

Thanksgiving Fun

We went to the holiday parade on Sat. Sophie liked it for about a half an hour but it got a little boring after we saw the same things over and over: kids singing, then horses, then cars (REPEAT). We didn't last for Santa at the end.

Yes, Sophie is wearing a suit! And here's me rolling out roll dough.

Big Girl Bed

On Saturday Phil turned Sophie's crib into a big girl bed. She was so excited all day pretending to go to sleep in it but then when it was really time to sleep, she cried herself to sleep. But last night she got under the covers, gave us a kiss, said, "Nigh night Mommy, nigh night Daddy." and that was it! She looks so cute in it but it makes me sad she's already old enough for a "big girl" bed. Next...potty training. Wish us luck!

"I Want More Candy!"

Halloween was so fun with Sophie this year, she REALLY got into Trick-or-Treating. She was even comfortable enough to say to one lady, "I want more candy!" instead of "trick-or-treat". And...I just happened to get it on video!
