Mimi's Visit and More

December started off with a bagful of fun! In just 8 days, we managed to squeeze in lots of things to do and see...

Sophia played dress-up with Sara and Cami while Mommy attended nutrition class.

One day of dress up is not enough for this girl. Sophia had her friend Shelby over for a playdate and the two were ready to paint the town pink!

Sophia displays the Advent calendar that Mommy made for her and Gianni...that's a lot of treats!

Then Mimi came all the way from Ohio and the fun really started!

We put up the Christmas tree. It took Mommy a few broken bulbs before she realized that only non-breakable ornaments could be in Gianni's reach.

We had a small bit of snow so the kids took full advantage. Gianni looks on as Sophia made a snow angel.

But Mommy, it is never too cold to swing!

Mimi, Sophia, and Gianni relax and watch a good movie.

Gianni shows Mimi how he can eat a stalk of celery in three bites.

We heard that Santa was going to be at the Bill Memorial Library, so we stopped by to see!

Sophia looks on as Gianni thinks, "wait, where is Mommy?"

There is Sophia but who is this guy?

And the realization finally hits him...he is being held by a stranger in a bright red suit.

Mimi, Sophia, and Gianni pose in front of the Christmas tree.

Sadly, we had to take Mimi to the airport and say good-bye. But Mimi promises she will be back to visit soon!
