And...back to Christmas

Okay, well it's mid-February, so I really need to get on the ball and throw these Christmas pictures up here. I realized I don't have many from the Strode/Stark Christmas in Arkansas, and have none from the Sandberg trip to Gatlinburg. But that does not mean you all aren't loved. Just that I was keeping up w/ a 2-year-old and trying not to throw up from the pregnancy and kind of forgot to take pictures. But here's what we've got:

Okay, well this isn't actually a Christmas picture, but Sophie is loving blueberries lately and this is after one run-in w/ the berry bowl. They're so messy, how can they NOT be delicious?

We had a little Christmas dinner with some good friends and their daughters, Ava & Cate. The girls wore their Christmas dresses for about 5 minutes in honor of the occasion.

Fondue!


Okay, the next several pictures might as well just be called "The Bubby Show." Since Cosmo couldn't make it to Arkansas for Christmas, Sophie apparently decided that Uncle Aaron (Bubby) would fill that void:
Wrestling

Getting tied up (note that these are all things I endured as a small child and also loved...at first)

Sophie retaliates by attempting to shove a babydoll's pacifier in Bubby's mouth.

Sharing some love with Aunt La-La

And one picture without Bubby - Sophie with her sweet Grandma


Saying goodbye

And I really love this picture - Aaron and Laura, thanks for playing so much with Sophie - she thinks you guys are almost as great as Cosmo.
