Christmas with 2!

Sophia wanted to leave celery for the reindeer too;)

After setting out a glass of milk for Santa, Sophia decided she wanted a glass, herself. This is her sitting on the counter drinking her glass of milk before bed. I just couldn't miss capturing these cute little toes dangling over the counter;)

Christmas was a little different this year. Katie and Kevin headed off to Vegas to spend Christmas with his family, Buddy and Tracie and Noah were on their way to Seattle and my parents and siblings spent Christmas with my grandparents and extended family up in Washington. So Christmas eve and Christmas morning consisted of me, Jeff, Sophia, Peyton, Barbara, and Nelson. This was the first year, that we spent Christmas with just our little family of four, and Jeff's parents, and we quite enjoyed it! It was more quiet than usual, but oh-so relaxing and low key. Christmas eve was spent baking cookies to leave out for Santa, visiting the beautiful Peacock Lane and taking a stroll down the creative and scenery filled PIR. Thanks to my sleepy-headed little girls, we were blessed with sleeping in, and actually had to wake Sophia up at 8:45 to come see what Santa had left for her under the tree. This was also our first year with two beautiful girls to celebrate Christmas with and boy, was it everything we could have hoped for and more!

Best gift under the tree;)

While Sophia explored her new toys and gifts, Peyton crawled right over to her sports interactive toy and began putting the basketball in the hoop. She played and entertained herself for quiet a while, until she began to yawn and was ready to go back down for her nap. Jeff's dad then made a yummy breakfast and we visited and relaxed, while Sophia played. It was such a nice Christmas morning! Though we missed all of our family members that could not be with us, this Christmas was one of our favorites because the focus wasn't so much the gifts given, but the blessed time spent with each other!
