Today was a very casual day. Myron had to be at work at 7:30am so we got Sophia up early, so he could see her open her gifts. After she left she insisted on watching the "Santa Clause"classic cartoon. When it finished she said "bye santa"...too cute.
Santa bought her a cardboard cottage dollhouse, it is so adorable. It should endure her toddler years plus later on she can color it. The plus side is that it is "eco-friendly". Santa also bought her some mini furniture and small dolls. Her stocking was filled with stickers and small windup toys. Later on we ventured off to my brothers house to open more gifts, she got some music instruments, books, cars and a toddler camera. She has walking all over the house carrying it, saying "cheese" even though it does not have batteries yet (our little secret).
Merry Christmas!!

December Evenings
This time of year is officially my favorite. Sophia is 18 months and is exploring everything. Last year, she did not have any issues with Santa and this year we are really hyping him up, so now when she sees a Santa...she stares....and acts kinda timid and shy. She is slowly getting the idea of who he is...
We have also been doing lots of Christmas activities. Earlier we took her too the Polar Express. Last Saturday we took her to the Oakland Zoo "Zoo Lights" she loved riding the train and met Santa officially. We also enjoyed a ride on the carousal. Last night we took her too Fairyland where she once again met Santa (she was a bit taken back, though) and drank cocoa and played with the bubble machine.
Today we spent the day at Tia Oli's house for her cousins Rubens birthday. She came home officially exhausted. We are having so much fun!!
p.s. Mario is #2 Dad ...Myron is #1

The Polar Express
This past Sunday we ventured out to Sacramento, California to ride on "The Polar Express". For those of you who have read the children's book or seen the movie, it is an adventure and so is the ride. We went with Jeff (Dad), Thea (mommy) and Remy (Sophias buddy), who actually gifted us the tickets.
To Jeff, Thea & Remy: Thank you so much for inviting us, we had SO MUCH FUN!
The ride came complete with hot chocolate, cookies, tap dancers, the bum (character in movie) and last but not least SANTA CLAUS. Unfortunately Santa was extremely busy giving all the little ones gifts and was unable to take photos, he gave us all bells to ring. Sophia was in awe.... she was jumping, clapping and ringing her bell...im not sure if she is quite sure who Santa is, but I think she is getting the idea!!
