Pre Christmas Festivites

Wow... that was quite a holiday.  Sorry I'm so behind on updates of the kids.  I have to admit I had a hard time getting into the holiday spirit this year.  I don't think Sophie and Max noticed and we had some fun despite my yucky mood.  We were invited to several Christmas parties this year (we're so popular), and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves quite a bit.  We did pick up a stomach bug at one of the parties, but we're all recovered and I've decided kids are little germ machines anyways.  Sophie is a little social butterfly and is always so excited to go and see new people.  The exact opposite of me.  She must get it from Dave.  Max starts out shy, but it doesn't take him long to warm up to people.  They both have been great lately.

Sophie and Max ready for church

We had a real Christmas tree again this year.  I swear our tree gets bigger every year.  We're going to need taller ceilings next year.

Getting ready to go to party number 1.  Max had to be woken up from a nap and as you can see he was less than pleased.

He's feeling a little better now.

And he's back.  Sophie was cooperative the entire photo taking session, she just wanted to leave and see her friends.

After about a pound of cookies he was in great spirits.

Party number 2

Opening a present from the neighbor.

One of the parties we got to meet Santa.  Both kids were so excited and Santa was SO NICE.
