Merry Christmas

We had a great first Christmas at our own home. It was nice to not have to travel, but we did really miss our families.

Even though Eric still would not sit on Santa's lap, he was very much into him this year. Santa called every night on his "shampoo phone" during tubby time to see if Eric had been a good boy. Unfortunately, as much as we thought Santa would be a motivator for good behavior, he seemed to have the opposite effect. However, after calling Santa a few times to tell him to give his toys to another little boy, Eric ceased hitting Pia and Santa decided to come afterall.

For Sophia, this was the year of the wrapping paper and she loved it! We look forward to next year...the year of the boxes. ;O)

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Where did our baby go???

Real Ice!

After months of practicing his skating with his socks on our floors, Eric finally had the opportunity to try it out on real ice. He did awesome! I think all his practicing paid off. He took a number of spills, but was eager to get back up and keep trying. We are curious to see how sore he will be this morning when he gets up.

Either way...I think we have found our new Sunday afternoon activity....at least until Hockey practice starts. ;O)
