Remember the Discovery Place??

I have fond memories of the Discovery Place, especially the big eyeball. when I used to be in Girl Scouts, we had overnites there and would fight over who got to sleep inside. So, taking Sophie back was fun.. We went with Lora and Lily (Thanks, Lora for the pics) Silly me forgot my camera, so here is just a few graciously emailed my way :)

We Wish you a Merry Christmas

Ok, guys, I know this is (very, very) late. But don't stop checking yet...

Sophie's first Chirstmas was wonderful. It is our tradition to always go and pick out a real tree. When Sophie is older, we may go cut one down.We went to the Christmas Tree Farm on the corner of Kings and Morehead. The tree did very well, the needles never did drop.
Sophie was very intrigued our tree.Here is Sophie enjoying the smell of Christmas!
Here is our decorated tree (can't see well-sorry) We eventually had no ornaments on the lower half of the tree, but more because of the dog rather that the baby :) Although she did try to taste one or two.sophie enjoyed opening her gift from her aunt before Christmas. The second picture is Sophie's aunt and my sister Judy along with her two cousins, Julian and Colin.
Ah, Christmas morning. Now, all these presents under the tree are not for Sophie, they are all the presents for everyone at all!! I wanted to see what she would do when she saw the previously bare tree after "Santa" had visited.
Sophie is asking, "Can I really do it?" "You're not going to say No?" "This is for me?!"This is my favorite picture ever. We got Sophie her first doll, a Cabbage Patch. I had one when I was a little girl and she still lives in the bedroom. I wanted Sophie to have something she has had since her very first Christmas. Her name is Anna Mimi, and they bear a striking resemblence. Isn't that adorable?
Once she saw the toy Daddy got her, the doll was forgotton!!! This is a walker, what can you expect!!
Here is me and my baby on Christmas day.
Opening more gifts...





All in all, Christmas was so much fun...and Sophie spent most of her time doing what she loves best... "walking" All day walking, without any naps......
