Christmas #2

We had our belated Christmas on New Year's. It was great! It was actually really fun having it that day. My mom and dad did a great job of keeping it festive and it felt just like Christmas morning! The best part was having Sophie there. I can't even begin to describe how special she is and how much love I have for her! It's amazing. She's amazing! It's so fun to see my sister and George as parents. They are so good at it! Even when they're going on 4 hours of sleep! My sister is an amazing mom----I hope that I can be the same someday!

Joe is leaving tonight to go skiing at Crystal tomorrow. He's going with his cousin and a bunch of people that work at Pierce County. I've created a ski monster! He's obsessed! He's really disappointed I'm not going tomorrow. I feel bad but I just don't want to! I do have a legit excuse though. Somehow I jammed my toe and it's all bruised and I can hardly touch it. The thought of putting it in my ski boot does not sound like fun! I think it frustrates him that I don't obsess about going constantly like he does. I've gone once....and we'll be skiing at Bachelor at the end of the month....and if I can get a few more trips in after that, I'll consider that a good season. Unlike him, my goal isn't to ski every free day I have! He even goes up by himself if he has a day off during the week. No thanks! I guess I should be thankful that he's active and doesn't sit around all day. THAT would drive me crazy!

Anyway, here are a few of my new favorite pictures....
