We are "go-go-go-CRASH" lately!
Christmas cookies... I was so impressed by Sophia's decorating skills! I didn't lay a finger on these cookies! Pretty meticulous for a 3 year old if you ask me!
Lots of crafting, as usual... I took a pic of this bird craft because Travis made it up all by himself! He's constantly evolving as a daytime stay-at-home dad, and I think he's pretty awesome :)
Thanksgiving! This is our Goddaughter, Ava, with big bro DJ
We had Thanksgiving with Travis' maternal grandparents, Snooki and Cash.
Lindsey and Ava... so sweet! Gotta love those nursing comas!
It was a really nice dinner!
Sophia and DJ at the kids end of the table... they both look so grown up to me!
Sophia with her Great Grandmother, Snookie
Great-Grandpa Cash
Later on we stopped by the paternal grandmother and crew's gathering, and Sophia had a little playtime with her 2nd cousin, Mairie
Waiting for ballet class to begin!
Sophia made "alphabet soup" a couple of weeks ago, using her play kitchen equipment and magnetic letters!
A plate of alphabet soup!
Just goofing off...
Sophia came up with this spelling of "T-rex" (the dinosaur) all by herself!
And her version of how "Sophia" is spelled... she always gets all the letters, but instead of "sounding out" her name like she does with other words she just assembles the letters as she comes across them... she often types her name out similar to this foam letter version.
Christmas tree! Hooray! Cliche to say, but witnessing Sophia's experience of the holiday is truly magical!

MURAL! And I am happy to say it is DONE! (For now)... I would not wish a wall mural on my worst enemy. We all really love it, and DID have fun with it (even Sophia helped paint!) but Travis and I figured that we spent well over 40 hours on it... a massive labor of love! Here are some pics of the progress and the finished product!
Tiny butterflies... I intend to keep adding sweet little details. Sophia loves all the hidden little bugs, flowers, etc.! You can also kind of tell from this close-up how many layers of paint and different brushes/sponges, etc. were used to get different textures and effects. I discovered that acrylic really shows brush-strokes and direction, and it took me a little time to figure out how to use that to my advantage!
