Our Festivities

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone. We had a wonderful Christmas. The girls are at such a fun and magical age. Santa made it to our house with gifts for all. Kensie and Ellie loved their leapsters. Sophie loved her grocery cart and baby. They all got a power wheels Barbie Jeep that they can't wait to try outside. Still a little wet and mucky to try. They are having a blast driving it in the basement. We have a few dents in the wall and definately not ready for drivers licenses, but are having fun. The girls are back to school, dance and routine. And boy, did we have a great break.
We celebrated Grandpa and Grandma Ewell's 60th wedding Anniversary on the 27th. We had a dinner and slideshow presentation and pictures. There were so many of the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins there. It was nice to see everyone and their beautiful children. It was a great time. My entire family stayed in hotel so the kids could swim. They had a blast and swam every night that we stayed. It was a great little vacation.
Sophie had her post-op eye appointment from her surgery 2 months ago, today. The Dr. says that her eyes look great and within the 3 degrees of straight. She still prefers her right eye over the left. That means that we will start patching her eye again. She will wear her patch for an hour every other day. That doesn't seem to bad to me. I was hoping that we wouldn't have to go back for 6 months since it is 5hours round trip. But we go back in March. More time in the car for Sophie and me. She is getting used to it though and does pretty dang good. She is a trooper. Thanks to Shantelle who is so willing to watch Ellie and take her to preschool so that she doesn't have to make the long drive. We are so blessed to have great friends to help us. Here are a few of my favorite pics of Sophie that Scott took at Christmas time. She was so candid and cute and her eyes really do look better. Happy New Year!
