Sleeping Beauties

I had to capture the moment of Sophie's first sleepover guest in her room! We've had so many friends and family visit, but this is the first time Sophie has slept with a friend in her bed! After reading books, lots of giggles and a couple of empty threats, they went to sleep like peaceful princesses!

I'm so glad Sophie & Savannah get along!

Visit with Santa

This weekend we are having our friend Rod and his little girl, Savannah, stay with us as he plays in a state tennis match! We've been excited all week for the "big visit". Sophie has been having a ball -- with her first sleepover in her room and non-stop play time with her friend! I surprised the girls today with their first visit with Santa for the holiday season. Let me just say, it's been fun for me to match outfits on my two precious children... so I've got to get the most out of it!

Connor was peacefully sleeping in Santa's lap at first. When he finally woke up, he just stared and stared. Then, Santa actually got him to laugh with funny faces.

I was interested to hear what Sophie had to say to the man in red. When Santa asked what she wants for Christmas... Sophie told him she wants a rainbow bear and a rainbow pony (the exact same thing Savannah had told him, too!) Those two peas in a pod!

Twinkies

I picked up crocheted headbands for the girls - Sophie wanted to get purplicious for herself and pinkalicious for Savannah. They are adorable in their matching smiles and hairstyles!
