Sisters!

Ever since their first meeting, these 2 girls have loved each other! I'm sure they don't always like each other but I do know they will be good friends. Anne can always make Sophie smile!
Before Sophie was even born, I knew I wanted to do a blog like this! We found Sophie's bib while we were getting our food for our campout on Antelope Island. I had planned on doing an iron on transfer for Anne's shirt but then our neighbor, Sister Brown, asked if she could do it and it looks so much better with this fun stitching!

Cute girls!

Anne loves doing all sorts of things with Sophie. She loves to read to her.

Watch TV with her and rock her.

And this is from Sophie's first month home. Anne likes stickers and decided to share the love with her little sister. She also loves to hug and kiss her sister...which sometimes makes mommy and daddy nervous! Anne loves to SQUEEZE!

And of course seeing these two girls together makes me think of my own sister! Oh how I wish she and I lived closer together but she is one of my best friends!

Sophia is 3 months old!

Our little Sophie is 3 months old today! I am trying to just soak up every minute that I can with her while she is still little! We took her yesterday to get her blessing photos done and ended up spending WAY too much money (family...you will be getting lots of photos - ha, ha!) but it also included a CD of the photos that we can do with whatever we want! Why do kids have to be so darn cute when you take them to get their photos? I just wanted to get the one pose package for $5! Ha, ha!

Just precious!

Sophia's blessing day

Sophia Grace was blessed on January 2nd. We are so thankful for the family that was able to come and wish that schedules would have worked out better for family that had to work...and wish that everyone lived closer! I still need to make an appointment to get photos done of her professionally in her blessing dress but hopefully that will happen soon! Her dress was made by a lady in our ward and it is just absolutely beautiful!

Dan gave her a beautiful blessing and she was an absolute angel. She was wide awake for the whole thing but didn't make a peep!

Christmas!

I debated blogging about Christmas since it was SOOO long ago (although Anne wakes up every morning asking if it is Christmas again) and decided I just couldn't skip it! So, I have some catching up to do.

We decided to wait until Christmas Eve to actually put the ornaments on the tree. Anne decided that we HAD to have a star on top so I made this one using a toilet paper roll and paper.

The girls in their jammies by the tree!

We also made cookies for Santa. Soft gingersnap cookies...yum!!! Anne had fun helping me!

Christmas morning started off really early for us since we found Anne asleep on the floor at the top of the stairs around 5am when I got up to feed Sophie. Dan took her back to her bed but she woke up and there was no getting her back to sleep at that point!

I just love this happy baby!

Check these two cuties out in their Santa hats!

And I bet you can't guess who bought this for Anne! Go Cougars!!! Daddy is so proud of her!

We had a great Christmas just at home taking our time (and naps...we needed it) and then we headed up to spend the rest of the weekend with my parents! Anne had fun opening more presents (for everyone) and getting Nana and Papa all to herself...mostly.
