Christmas 2010

Waiting to open presents before the Texas trip
Stella didn't want a bike (good thing we only paid $15 for it)
But Daddy likes it!
Sophia loves her trike!
Visiting with Uncle Tim in Buna
Cousins Taylor and Tori
Aunt Tonya
Attempt at family photo
Aunt Carrie adn Sophia
Looking at the log cabins in Montgomery, Texas
Cousins Grant and Hunter, Papa and Daddy playing cards
Sophia's balancing act
The back of our car (notice the case of Dos Equis in the lower right corner)
The only thing (besides a purple unicorn pillow pet) that Stella wanted for Christmas was a snow globe
Santa at Lenox Mall-Stella told me, while in line, that this was not the real Santa. The real Santa had come to her school earlier that day, so she wasn't taking this guy very seriously. The guy that was at school had a rented costume and looked very much like Billy Bob Thornton from the movie "Bad Santa," but she was sure that he was real because he had a "real beard." Now take a look at the fake below....
Really?!?!
Sophia's favorite thing to do was push all of the musical ornaments and dance
The dust buster has been a big hit-Stella is a cleaning machine! Not sure what Sophia is doing in this picture...


Our trip to Texas was not without troubles, but we had a great time despite the hiccups in the road. And by hiccups, I mean violent stomach viruses and strep throat. I had always heard of friends telling stories about vomiting babies on a road trip, but never knew the reality of it until December 18th, 2010. It is a day that will live in infamy. Sophia puked on every square inch of fabric in Josh's car...pajamas, outfits, stuffed animals, blankets, my shirt, my jeans, the floorboard, the cooler, etc. She didn't discriminate. Then, it was Josh's turn when we arrived in Texas. Thankfully, my parents rescued Stella from the madness and she didn't get it. I managed to escape the bugs, too. I guess I had done my time being sick for most of October and November. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone and hope you can forgive us for spreading our germs! We'll visit again in the summer when we are less....vomit-y.

Also love the photo of Josh on the bike trying to convince the crying Stella in the background that the bike is cool.
