New Jersey

We spent Christmas this year with the Sharps in New Jersey. It was a relaxing few days, with a lot of family on Christmas afternoon. Christmas morning was quiet with just Mom Mom, Pop Pop, me, Dave and the girls (and the dogs too of course). Sophie is very into Hello Kitty right now and got a matching pair of gloves and a hat from Lauren (what good taste at such an early age…)

Sophie’s big present was a bike (without pedals, the “new” training wheels). She struggled with it a bit, so we’ll need to keep practicing. 

My attempt to get a good picture of the girls together…

Sophie’s favorite present was a box of dress-up clothes from the Boyles. She’s a girl through and through. Here she is sporting one of the dresses, complete with gloves and clip-on earrings.

Sophie has been giving us some good belly laughs lately – which when you watch you can’t help but laugh yourself. We just figured out how to download videos off of the video camera, so this one is actually from July 4th (as you’ll notice from her festive outfit).

We spent Easter this year at the Sharp’s house. No Easter egg hunt – we’ll have to wait until next year for that. Sophie wore a dress that used to be mine. I’ll have to try and save it for her daughter!

“Aunt” Carol and “cousin” Shannon enjoyed spending time with little Sophia too.
