we play. and we play hard. :)

Christmas Day

Christmas day was fantastic! full of toys, grandparents, family and lots of fun! and a ham. which I overcooked. and it dried out a little bit. everyone told me it didn't... but they were just being nice ;) and yes, I took a LOT of pictures because Derek bought me a new camera which I'm in LOOOVE with. :) Sophie wrote Jesus a letter telling him what she was gonna do this year that was good and we put it under the tree.

Christmas eve 2011

was it me, or did Christmas feel a little...off? no snow, holiday traditions had to be changed up a bit due to work schedules, church during Christmas... I don't know. it was weird! but just think, last year we were going back and forth from the hospital with noah's jaundice....in snow storm after snow storm... but this year we got to enjoy our little guy and all his cuteness. this is sophie's gingerbread house she made we lounged a lot... made cookies for santa and Derek grilled us up some steaks for Christmas eve dinner then we opened Christmas pj's and then Santa came ;)
