Christmas and New Years in a flash

What a crazy two weeks it has been. I can't believe I am back to work on Monday. December flew by.
Christian's sisters came to Texas to celebrate Christmas with his parents. The cousins were all together for the first time. On Christmas Eve they all wore matching pajamas Noelle found.


Christmas morning, Sofia and I went to Mass. She was so happy to be at church. She smiled at the priest when he blessed her during communion. After we got home, I changed her back into her pjs and headed to the Brennan house. Mia cooked Vietnamese soup for brunch. It was yummy! Sofia spent some time eating with her papa and then took a nap with her big mama.



For her first Christmas her godfather, Peter and his sister, Maggie, tried to corrupt my poor little Tiger with clothes from other universities! In the end I think she showed her preference.



Then we rushed home, changed and headed to the Schick house for dinner. We took more pictures.


For Christmas, Santa brought her a chair with her name on it. Right now she has to share it with Chewy since he thinks it is for him. I have to keep a towel covering it whenever we aren't using it for her. If not, Chewy gets in it and sleeps. To get him off of the chair, you literally have to pick him up or shove him off.




New Years was fun. I thought Sofia would sleep at the Castellanos house but no. She proved to be, as her Tia Noelle said, "a true Venezuelan." She stayed awake until we got int he car to go home at 2 a.m. She cat napped at times. She slept through the midnight celebration but woke up shortly after.
She has slept today away. Poor thing has also vomited this morning. She stopped and rested all afternoon. On the way to dinner tonight she spit up her whole feeding. She managed to get all of the liquid under her piddle pad. Christian and I spent this evening taking apart her car seat so we could wash the cover and clean it. I only have one picture from New Year's and it is on Christian's phone. I haven't been very successful with getting photos off of the phones.

With all of the craziness, I realize I did not get one picture of the three of us at Christmas or New Year's together. It makes me a little sad but I know we will have many more Christmases to take pictures together.

Happy New Year! We hope this year brings you much joy and happiness.
