Christmas!

So we have been very busy doing a lot of Christmas type activities around here.

I took Sofia to see the Nutcracker Ballet. It was just the two of us, and we had such a blast, she LOVED it and she sat through the whole thing again this year. The next day she kept humming the music and dancing. Needless to say we have already signed her up for Ballet classes in January!



We made Christmas cookies, which were more work than I would have wanted them to be, and they looked really gross! But they tasted good:)



We also went to breakfast with Santa at the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown. It was FANTASTIC!!! The timing, setting, and the food were all great! We showed up, we all got a great breakfast (at a very reasonable price!), got to see Santa and his elf, and didn't have to wait in a crazy line at the mall. Sofia just loved it. She got to give Santa her list that she had made and told him she wanted princesses, a ball, a lizard, blue baby and a pacifier. We will see what Santa can do.

Writing her letter to Santa a couple of weeks ago.








We also went to our own downtown to see them light the Christmas tree. They did an awesome job. There was of course Santa and Ms. Claus, Rudolph, a Christmas Tree and Frosty the Snowman (who Sofia stalked for about an hour!). It was really fun.





We also got a lot of snow last weekend so we took advantage of the opportunity and delayed all plans for the day, and just went out and played in the snow all together. Then Mommy (because I HATE the cold) came in and made hot chocolate for everyone. Sofia ate the marshmallow but didn't care for the hot chocolate.
