Merry Christmas 2010

  Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! I can totally remember last year having such an awesome Christmas in Flagstaff and experiencing the Polar Express with Sofia. Watching Sofia’s eyes sparkle when she got the chance to meet Santa (aka Nick) and seeing her face waking up Christmas morning to a fresh blanket of snow…it was absolutely magical. And now, this year we have a totally different meaning to Christmas. Our family feels complete and has taken on such a different and magical dynamic.


As parents, Nick and I have grown so much while raising Sofia. She is such a unique little girl with an awesome personality. I love seeing her get excited for all the small things like helping me bake in the kitchen, watching wrestling with Nick or getting the chance to give her baby sister a kiss. She will without a doubt be such a protective big sister. Nick and I still feel as though we are always learning about becoming better parents and we are always trying to focus on what we’ve been blessed with. Having both our girls is such a tremendous gift.

This year, rather than heading up north to Flagstaff, we decided to stay home and make our Christmas memories in our home. Last year was so special for us. We created wonderful memories and had the chance to introduce Sofia to snow. Living in Minnesota for five years, Nick and I totally got use to having snow for Christmas and it's something we want our kids to know as well. This year however, we're going to stick close to home and family and create just as special memories.

Sofie LOVED the snow!

We're so excited to creat new memories with both our girls.  Here are some pictures of our holiday tree trimming party.  

This year she just watched.  Next year she'll be a little helper. 



Here is my little happy helper-
Looking for more ornaments-

Seeing this makes me so happy!



Perfect!
Here is Nick putting up our tree topper

Our finished tree!


Nick was so excited after Thanksgiving to keep up with tradition and put up our Christmas lights.  Sofie gets such a kick out of seeing the house all decorated and festive-

Here is our little tribute to our precious Bella.  RIP Bella.
