Post Chirstmas Update

The wondering travelers have returned! We went to Mom's house for christmas eve and drove to Dallas for Christmas day with Gigi. It was fun for Sophy to play with her cousins LilliAnn, Grayson, and Evie. She had fun with her second cousin Hana, but they tended to fight just a little bit. We all had a good time and my family was way too giving to Sophy! In fact we almost couldn't fit it into our car to go home. She got a table and chairs from santa to go with her play kitchen and lots of play food and dishes.
We got home early on thursday morning and had a busy time going to the grocery store and putting the house in order. While we were gone the facet out front broke and was leaking into the yard. So Jeff spent half the day fixing it. It works now luckly! We did have to go half the day without water though.
I spent most my time taking down and putting up christmas decorations and cleaning house. My friend Jessica came over with our dogs (they watched them while we were away) and spent some time letting the kids play. It was nice to be home. Jeff put the play kitchen together today and we had fun putting out her play dishes and food. Sophy loves it. She pretends to iron and cook and wash dishes! The kitchen is SO cute. My mother in law did a great job picking it out and Jeff did a great job putting it together.
( The first picture is of LilliAnn, Grayson, and Evie in front of the tree. The second is Sophy with her Poppy ready for church on Sunday morning. The third is of Sophy sitting at her table in her new play kitchen.)
Here's what baby center says about the baby: Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long. His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed. And you can certainly feel him move. He's oblivious to your schedule, though, so don't be surprised if he starts working out just when you're settling down for the night. If you're having a girl, her vagina is formed now, though it will continue to develop until birth.

Tammy got it in november at Cosco. She said she got the last one at the time...but I've seen them online. It's called the retro Kitchen. Here's a link to one:

Man...LilliAnn has grown so much!! The last time I saw her she was about the size of your little one. Looks like Santa was very nice to Sophy. Amber was spoiled just as much!

shannon, we're friends of graham and heather from their time in LR and want to say a big thank you for the new pictures of their kiddos. Also thank you for the new recipes from your other blog! I was telling Heather now that I have time to cook, I've almost exhausted my recipe books and we can't get all the pre-prepared stuff you guys can in the states, so ya'lls recipes have been a huge help! God bless you guys.
