Hanging out on Christmas Eve day getting into the Christmas spirit.
Christmas Eve at Dee Ree and Pop Pop's.
Look what Santa brought me!!!
Christmas Day at our house
Sophie had a wonderful 1st Christmas all in all. On Christmas Eve, she had her first taste of "A Very Stumpo" Christmas Eve by heading over to Dee Ree and Pop Pop's house. Dee Ree and Pop Pop have all the kids and lots of seafood and presents galore. We weren't able to stay late enough to see all the Stumpo aunts and uncles which was really too bad. But, we were able to have a nice visit with Uncle Bubba and his girlfriend Theresa. We also heard great news that Uncle Bubba and his girlfriend are expecting so Sophie will have a new cousin to play with who is very close in age - how exciting!!
On Christmas morning, Sophie and Daddy and Mommy had fun unwrapping some gifts Santa left under the tree and then we got ready to have everyone to our house for Christmas dinner. We had Nanny and Poppy and Aunt Pat and Cousins Caely and Colin and Amber. From Mommy's side we had Dee Ree and Pop Pop and GGMom. (Unfortunately, Aunt Dee and Uncle Jerry and cousins DA and Sarah couldn't make it because Jerry's dad went in the hospital. We hope he is feeling better soon!) Nana Mary also stopped over for a surprise visit which was so much fun.
We felt very blessed to be able to have so many of our loved ones at the table with us for Sophie's first Christmas dinner. It meant a lot to us and was a great way to enjoy Sophie's first Christmas together. For our family in South Carolina and Arizona and other parts around the country, although we were not able to see you this year, we love you very much and you all were with us at the table in spirit, as were Sophie's two great-grandpops who we all miss so very much.
Our very warmest wishes to all our family and friends, far and wide, for a happy healthy 2009! We love you!!
