Christmas Fun

We had a nice Christmas, it started with Dan and I getting up at 6 am to go to my paren'ts house, it was so cold that Dan tucked his pants into his socks! Jack (my little brother who is on a mission to New Jersey) called at 7. It was great to hear Jack's voice. We then proceeded into the front room (in order shortest to tallest) to see what Santa brought us. We had a great time opening gifts and recieved many great ones. But the highlight of Christmas was watching Sophie with her presents. Grandma and Grandpa Quincy gave Sophie this electronic toy she can stand by, she loves the lights, buttons, sounds and music! (By the way her Christmas nightgown was made by her Grandma Quincy pretty cute huh?) After all our presents were opened we headed back to the Chapman's where we enjoyed some delicious "shipwreck" breakfast (which is just all of the breakfast foods all mixed together in a scrambled mess... so good), Sophie took a nap and then we opened more presents. We were all incredibly spoiled by the Chapmans and had tons of fun watching Elise and Sophie enjoy their presents. Elise's favorite seemed to be her squeaking shoes, she ran around the house to let their squeaks be heard loud and clear! The thing that Sophie enjoyed most from Grandma Nina were the books. She can't get enough of them! Here's a picture of her with Aunt Candice reading a book, you can tell she really enjoys it. We pretty much just played around the rest of the day. That evening Dan decided that they needed to play Lord of the Rings Risk... here is a flash back 3 years ago when he got the game...

As you can clearly see... he likes the game, he also loves The Lord of the Rings so it's like the ideal combo for him. He played with his Dad and brother until 2 am!! Crazy kids. Here are some more pictures I took throughout the day for you to enjoy.
