Well, what can I say? I'm excited! We are actually getting a babysitter and going out tonight! (Once in a blue moon doesn't quite imply exactly how rare an occasion this is). We had a great Christmas! My brother, 'uncle ben', came down from Canada and spent the holidays with us!!! It was so fun to have him here... well, fun for us! But I'm not sure how entertaining a toddler an 8 month old and a pregnant lady are to a young hip single guy. But we enjoyed having him here! Especially Griff, since he usually has to spend Christmas eve alone (while I work), watching both home alone movies... Yeah, not a pretty sight. Anyways, Sophie loved getting to know her Uncle better. In fact, she was obsessed with kissing him goodnight. Mom, Dad and bonnie get one kiss, but Uncle Ben usually averaged three to five. I haven't quite broke the news to her yet that that sort of thing is actually illegal.
Uncle Ben actually got Sophie her favorite toy for Christmas... this box.
Christmas Eve we made sugar cookies and iced them and put some out for Santa before bed! (Sophie ate the cookies that were for Santa when daddy was not looking).
Here is a shot of Christmas morning! Lola and Lolo got Sophie this baby doll set. She LOVES it!!! Now all she does is take her baby for walks around the house.
Here she is wearing an apron that someone from our ward made for her! (So cute!) and reading the present that uncle ben actually got for her.

Here she is playing with the fridge magnet toy barn that Tavie got for her (coolest toy ever!) and she loves it and yells at me every morning until I turn it on.
This is the card table playhouse that I made for Sophie! (thanks abby!) The mailbox has actual felt letters in it that you can take out.

The oranges come off the tree too!
We are thinking of you all and miss you! May this next year bring blessings and joy and a closer relationship with our Savior. Love you!

Wow look at how talented you are!! The playhouse is amazing (will you make one for me to play in?) Sophie is too much of a cutie. I love her long hair. I am so glad you had a great holiday with Ben...I still think he should court Sara (hee hee) Have a wonderful evening of fun with your hubby! You both deserve it. Love you and miss you more. HAPPY NEW YEAR! (PS I still think you will have another girl)
You are too talented...maybe you could share the wealth with me :) I don't know where to print blog books....this is my first venture in the blogging world...let me know what you find out!!
holy cow...give jess a sewing machine and there is no guessing what she can create!! I would love to come have a playdate at Sophie's "house"
Happy New Year to you all
Love, ABDO
Griff, you married a very talented young lady, wife & mother. Ask for some PJ's. If Jess can build a house complete with double pained windows imagine what talants lay hidden. Can't wait to see your new little baby girl...I'll keep my fingers crossed. Sophie you are a doll as allways.
Love you guys,
I wanna know how to make that!!!!
seriously - I LOVE it...and my kids would DIE!! (okay maybe a slight exaggeration but you get the idea).
Um so...yah - you could write and sell instructions on etsy.com if you ever get bored with your large amounts of spare time. haha
cheers
