Christmas Eve Part 1 How many dresses does one girl need?

Sophia playing in her playhouse Great Grandma made for her before dinner.

Sophia discovered the Santa draft catcher that I sewed for my Grandmother about 10 years ago.

We arrived at my Grandmother's house in Sophia's first Christmas outfit. Scott and I found this super cute skirt a few weeks ago.  She recieved this outfit right before we left the house as an early Christmas present form mommy and daddy.  She was pretty excited because it had a hat.  Sophia loves hats so she couldn't wait to try it on.  Sophia loves new dresses.

While there Sophia played in her playhouse that Great Grandma made for her.  After playing with that she discovered the Santa draft catcher that I made for my Grandmother about 10 years ago.  She carried him all around the house playing with him like a doll.

December 24, 2008 Christmas Eve

Uncle Mike building Sophia's new Radio Flyer wagon. Thanks Uncle Mike for such a cool gift.  Sophia is anxiously helping Uncle Mike build the wagon in this photo.

Sophia is grabbing a wheel for the wagon.  We are surprised by the fact that she stands up and tries to put the wheel on the wagon.  I thought about it and realized she knew what she was doing  because she saw Curious George fix his wagon wheel.  So she knew the wheels needed to be attached to the wagon.  Amazing for a  girl of 15 months.

Sophia received this sweet little "Lots to Love" baby doll from Grandma. It looks like a real baby with its chubby little cheeks. It has a mini potty chair that Sophia can put the doll on.  There is a story here. Sophia is using the potty pretty regulary now at 15 months.   She is still wearing Pull-Ups because it takes a while to train little ones but she knows what is going on and tells us when she has to go.  We couldn't be more pleased with her progress since Thanksgiving on the potty chair.

Uncle Mike finished the wagon and Sophia had to try out her new wheels.  Zoom Zoom around Great Grandma's house.
