Christmas in North Carolina

We arrived in Salisbury a week before Christmas at four a.m. with a sick, crying baby in tow. Her grandma Sallie immediately picked her up and rocked her back to sleep. How's that for quick service?

Sophie really enjoyed spending time with her cousin, Brenna who loved to pat, kiss and hug her, as well as continuing to try and touch her eyeballs. Here they are together at the Miller/Green annual eggnog Christmas party.

I suppose Christmas morning was like any other for baby Sophie, except her Mom forced her into a greater number of outfits, and she got to eat a lot more paper than usual.

The picture above is my favorite from our NC Christmas. That's Brenna and Sophie with their grandparents on Christmas morning. We all think Sophie looks a little like her Sallie. And below, that's us at Granny's in the afternoon. Why on earth we neglected to take a picture of Sophie with her 88 year old great-granny is beyond me, but at least we will always have a record of how I dressed Sophie as a pilgrim on her first Christmas.

Thanks to Sallie, Carl, Joe, Kristin and Granny for making Sophie's first Christmas so memorable, even though she'll never remember a bit of it!

It was a wonderful 2007 Christmas!!We were so blessed that we could share your first Christmas, Sophie. No present we received compared to the gift of having our two beautiful granddaughters, Brenna and Sophie, and their Mommies and Daddies with us on Christmas Day. God blessed us all!
