So once again I've been slacking in blog world!! Here's a whole bunch of pictures over the past month or so. We had a great Christmas, lots and lots of family parties. Sophie of course was very spoiled and enjoyed her first Christmas! She was a trooper through all the parties and late nights playing games...she spent a lot of nights going to sleep at Grandpa and Grandma's house only to be woken up later, brought home, and put back to bed :) She was awesome though! One night she even took 3 steps all by herself...at two different times too!! Since then it hasn't really happened again, she definitely does things when she wants to...it's all on "Sophie time" :) We have ourselves one little independent girl here! (I don't know who she takes after!)

We enjoyed a lot of game nights with Eric's family (Ryan and Jackie and fam were here for a week), and parties with friends, many of whom we found out are expecting babies soon!! We are very excited about that, and congrats to all of you, you know who you are. And of course we spent a lot of time over at our new house! I'm hoping to post some pics soon of the house (our computer doesn't have anymore space for more pics though so we're working on that!), it's currently a little scary over there right now! We are in the midst of a bunch of big projects...current projected move in date = sometime in March :)

Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and New Years!! We enjoyed catching up and spending time with most of you out there :)
