Decorating for Christmas.

After our friends left on Saturday, I started getting the Christmas decorations out.  Sophie loves the trees and says "whoa" or "wow" when she sees them.  It's too cute.  She has already tried to get into the presents too, but after I got on to her, she has been pretty good about leaving the presents and the trees alone.

  

I really wanted to put a tree in Sophie's room too, she really likes it!

Thanksgiving

 On Thanksgiving, our friends Michael and Liz joined us.  Sophie loves them so much and we all had a great time together.  It was nice to just be at home, relax and catch up with our  friends!

First Big Snow

On the 20th we had our first big snow of the season.  Sophie is really starting to take notice of it and she really liked playing in it.  She likes to eat it too!  She really likes her snow boots.

Sophie's 1st Haircut!

We took Sophie in for her first haircut a week ago.  She did really great until the last cut had to be made, so I had to do it at home.  We made a family event out of it and all got haircuts.  I was very proud of her!

Where Did October Go?

I have been so bad about keeping up with things lately!  I can't believe it's already November 2nd.  We have been quite busy with church activities and just everyday life!  We have been able to squeeze in some special moments with Sophie.  One of my favorite things we did during October was take Sophie out to ride horses.  It was so much fun and she loved it!  She also got to play with the dogs, which she of course loved, and play on a tractor.

We had a youth party on the 27th, so Sophie got to dress up for that, which was fun.

On Thursday before Halloween, we carved our pumpkins!

We took Sophie Trick-or-Treating on Saturday night.  Travis had to leave for Portland on Halloween and I didn't want him to miss her going trick-or-treating and arranged to go to 6 different houses a day early.  After the 1st house, we put her back in the car and she looked at the things she had gotten and said "WOW!"  It was too cute!  After we left the 2nd house Sophie had to almost drag her bucket.  She got a lot of candy and other special treats.

On Sunday we were busy up until Travis had to fly to Portland, but we had to make time for at least one picture on Halloween :)

We have had a fun October, and November is going to be very busy also.  Before we know it, it will be Christmas!
