Sophie's First FrontRunner Ride

The day after Christmas, Jimmy, Ashley & Sarah went to the Gateway to see Princess and the Frog. (Jimmy's mom & sister Jody went too).

Charlie, Sophie & I met them in the Gateway after the movie. We rode the FrontRunner train into town, and it was Sophie's first train ride!

We love the train! Even though we live 10 miles from downtown, we don't have to deal with kids in car seats, parking, and idiots on the road when we take the train in to town.

Good Trip!

Christmas pictures are up~

Jimmy's Parents House

Lastly, we made it to Jimmy's parents house for more food & family!

Here are the kids opening presents.

My Parents House

Next to my parents. Food and Family! I didn't get very many pictures here. I saw most of my siblings at my parents, but its hard when all 5 of my brothers + families are there-CROWDED!

Here is my mom & I!

Visit Aunt Mary

Christmas Day, we visited Jimmy's Great Aunt Mary first. Aunt Mary is very important to Jimmy & his siblings. Aunt Mary never got married, and never had children of her own, but Jimmy & his siblings were Aunt Mary's kids too! Now my kids enjoy Aunt Mary's kindness, and LOVE. Here are some pictures from the visit to her house. We watched Aunt Mary open her gifts. Santa stopped at Aunt Mary's house!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day-Jimmy's parents came down to watch us open presents. Christmas was GREAT! The kids got new bikes! Jimmy got a little fridge for his office. The family got a Wii, Wii Fit Plus with balance board, Active Fitness Trainer, and a few games. I got clothes. Sophie got a few things, but she liked the wrapping paper.

PEGS! SWEET!

Maybe we should have gotten Grandpa a bike too......

Christmas Eve

Everyone got new PJ's.

(Okay-Sophie got new ones from the 6-9 month box of clothes)

One way to make laundry fun

(Ashley was my photographer)

Sophie was helping me with laundry one day. Thanks Sophie!

Grandpa, Do you need any help?

My dad is SO nice to me! He came to my house every day for about a week and helped finish a few projects. I have BASEBOARDS! That is not exciting to many, but a pergo floor was put in about {cough-too many, less than 5} years ago. The baseboards and trim did not get put back up. NOW THEY ARE UP! Yipee! It all looks so nice and I LOVE not having to vacuum dirt, and junk from the cracks between the pergo & walls. Charlie and Sarah were good helpers. Charlie loves the tape measure! He looks like a good supervisor here.

Grandpa needed a rest & so did Sophie.

I love my daddy!
