Birthday Party

We had a simple birthday party for Sophia.  She got a colorful cake:

And lots of other fun stuff:

My dad fixed up this cradle for her baby doll, which was the cradle my Grandpa Garrett made for me when I was four.

Happy birthday!

Up-A-Daisy To You!

Sophia is now TWO!  We taught her to sing "Happy Birthday To You," and when she sings it, she says, "Up-A-Daisy To You."  ;) It was a great birthday!  She got balloons.

She got blocks, Elmo coloring books, and a puzzle.

But her favorite was the baby doll.

She loves to have the "baby" do everything she does, and she loves to push her around in the stroller.

Yay for a yummy cupcake!

Our happy birthday girl!

New Year!

Monster Snowstorm

Just thought I'd make our contribution to all the photos out there of this massive snowstorm.

And it's still coming down!

Christmas Highlights

I'm a little late, I know.  But better late than never, right?  I'll just do the highlights.

Sitting on Santa's lap (she didn't even cry):

Helping Daddy sweep the floor after the ward party - see how happy she is to be a helper?:

A few of her gifts:

Blocks

A box of little books

More Blocks (Daddy helped her build an airplane) 

A new toothbrush!

Stocking stuffers

Marshmallows

Table and chairs

And a grocery cart!

She also got a toy kitchen, play food, and toy dishes.  It was a pretty good haul!  And here's her happy face:
