Christmas 09...part 3 and New Years

So the final stage of our three part Christmas adventure took us to Atlanta to celebrate with my parents and Ashley, Graham and Evie! We had so much fun watching the girls unwrap all their gifts!! Sophi started to interact with Evie a little more than at Thanksgiving. Evie, however, was was not to happy with, what she still considered, lack of interaction and decided she would just eat Sophi instead!

We love having them together and can't wait to watch them grow into good friends! We still miss living close to Ashley and Graham and look forward to the day that changes!

We came back to Pasadena to celebrate New Years with my parents and experience the Tournament of Roses Parade. It was so neat to see the street outside our house fill up with people camping out New Year's Eve so they could watch the parade on New Years day. Fortunately, Dad bought us tickets in the grandstands so we did not have to spend the night outside!! We LOVED the parade! Sophi slept through most of it but what she did see we think she really enjoyed!

The next day we went to see the floats up close. All of them are made out of organic materials, it is pretty incredible!

Monday, Dad treated us to a special day and took us all to Disneyland!! We all had so much fun. Sophi got to meet Mickey and found her favorite ride, "It's a small World" which was still decorated for Christmas and looked so cute! Josh and I loved riding Space Mountain (my favorite ride at Disney World) but our favorite part of the day was getting to watch our little girl experience all the "magic of Disney."

Josh started teaching and classes on Tuesday and mom and dad went home on Wednesday. It's back to the real world for us. I am already looking forward to next Christmas, my favorite time of the year!

Sophi turns 4 months on Monday so stay tuned for her monthly update!
