Why is it that Sofie's interpretive dancing always makes me grin like a fool? Observe her latest move, as she stuffs her mouth full of peanut butter sandwich (the rest of which she happily smeared all over our bed sheets...I guess that's what I get for letting her eat PB & J out of her highchair!)
I swear there is a Christmas post on it's way. I'm looking forward to finally sharing what all of my crafty hard work resulted in. It's just that we're still working on cleaning up the detritus that is left over after Christmas (and also daddy is home on vacation so we've been spending lots of time together and also taking lots of unnecessary naps!)

Busy Busy Busy
Hi! I'm still kicking! Although it is 5 PM on Christmas Eve and I still have two crafties to complete. I'm not really worried about it though. Everything else is wrapped and trimmed and baked and cleaned (for the most part). So it will just be a fun evening finishing up my crafts while White Christmas plays in the background!
(and now it's 7 PM and I only have one left!)
Anyway, I wanted to post a little update since I've got a few pictures itching to be shared. Ben, Sofie and I went to have breakfast with Santa on Saturday morning. We saw Frosty and Rudolph there too. Sofie's not too sure she likes the folks who live at the North Pole...they don't quite look like the rest of us!
Then on Monday a little bit of Christmas arrived on our doorstep (except that there isn't really a step in front of our door) from Colorado. 
Ishie could not resist the temptation of fresh presents, which I found rather amusing since there have been presents under our tree for a week or two and she hasn't batted an eye at any of them. She went so far as to open a couple of them while I was preoccupied with some house tidying! When daddy came home, and she was still excitedly pulling presents out from under the tree to show us, we decided that we might as well go ahead and open them all up. So we had a little bit of early Christmas! Here is a video that I took before my memory card became inopportunely full. Thanks to GranDebbie and the Vances for an awfully fun Monday evening!
Last but not least (since it is now 8:30ish and this post still isn't published!!) here are a few pictures I took just a bit ago before Sofie went to bed. She and Baby Nona both got new Christmas pajamas!

"Ishie"
...is what Sofie replies in response to the question, "Can you say Sofie?"
And thus, a new nickname is born!
Ishie seems to have decided that having only two teeth is so five months ago. She is working on all four front teeth at once. I feel like I should be teaching her to sing, "All I want for Christmas is my four front teeth..." but alas, she is rather grumpy about the whole tooth growing thing.

Sophisticated Dining
Santa called me today and wondered if Sofie might like some new utensils for Christmas since she is getting to be such a big girl these days. I said, "You know what Santa? That sounds like just the right kind of thing for a little girl's stocking!" In the meantime, we'll keep practicing with the models we've got!

Crafty
Hello! Did you miss me? I'm up to my elbows in Christmas craftiness around here so things might be a little light for awhile...
...but while I'm in the artsy groove I thought I'd throw in a much overdue facelift around here. Enjoy!
Update: What on earth was I thinking? Where did all my "stuff" go? Would you all please please do me a favor? If I used to have a link to your blog over there on the right could you please send me its web address? I don't know any of them...I just click my links. My links that aren't there!!!
