Our little Christmas in Minnesota

So since we're leaving for Virginia bright and early tomorrow morning, we went ahead and had our Christmas tonight. here's some of the highlights!!




Sophie's friend Laural from church gave this to her!


Just couldn't pass up on this silly face!


Being delicate with the presents!


Taking a bite out of one! Ha!



These keys that Terri from church gave Sophie!



Jason got a Chevy Trucks hat!


And a new Chevrolet steering wheel cover for his truck (it turned out to be too small though)

Sophie watching cartoons!


Jason getting ready to go outside and shovel snow in the arctic temps! We had blizzard conditions this weekend, so he got this mask!

Jason's baptism!

The three amigos with President Petersen!




Us with Elder and Sister Gray!

Our new little house!

So this past weekend we moved into a new little house, actually down the street from my work! We're so happy to be in the new place!


The back of the house.

The kitchen!


Sophie's new room!


Our bedroom!

Sophie all over the place

Sophie at our church Christmas party with Santa! (She wasn't even scared, she actually laughed and tried pulling on his beard!)


When I was unpacking some stuff in her room, Sophie insisted on standing up and holding on to her crib!


Daddy and Sophie playing!




I thought this outfit was so cute I had to take a picture!


Sophie in her play bouncer!


Sophie trying out a cheese puff! :)

Thanksgiving/Getting ready for Christmas!

Our first Thanksgiving meal on our own! Everything turned out great! The turkey tasted really good, and the pies were delicious! It turned out not to be too bad to make it all!


While we were cooking and getting the dinner ready, Sophie just loved sitting on the floor in the kitchen watching us!


Our turkey right after it came out of the oven bag!


So after we got done eating, we started putting up our Christmas tree. Sophie loved the lights!




She equally loved the box to the lights!


Sophie going after the tree!


She managed to get off that purple ball closest to herself! Ha!


The tree, minus the star on top :)


Sophie was demanding some of Daddy's cookie!

Some of the latest pics of Sophie!

Mommy tried putting my hair up! It's just a little teeny pony tail!




There's that mischevious face again. She's thinking, "What can I get into now?" :)




Playing in the crib!


Tired after a hard day's work.
