Merry Christmas to all! We had a nice Christmas Eve with our friends, the Garvins. We had Christmas dinner, watched a bit of football, listened to the Christmas story in Luke, and watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation before calling it a night.
Unfortunately, Sophie got her first cold on Christmas Day and was not quite herself. However, we did end up having a great day, overall. Neal and Keri prepared a yummy brunch (okay, who are we kidding--the cooking was all Neal! But Keri did set the table) and enjoyed it with Rudy and Becky, Sophie's Opa and Oma.
After our meal we opened presents and Sophie toughed it out with us until about half way through when she decided a nap was an excellent idea. Afterwards we played games and just enjoyed each other's company while periodically connecting with our more distant family by phone. A big thank you to all that gave us gifts. Sophie's favorite gift was the wrapping paper and she voted the jiggling Elmo/Cookie Monster ball as "scariest gift" by crying in fear the couple of times we tried to get her warmed up to it (It's okay Jolene. You certainly meant well and she may think it's the coolest ever once she's feeling better). We hope all of our family and friends enjoyed celebrating as well. We love you!
