Welcome Baby Sophia!

After much anticpation, My sister Heather's little baby Sophia Jessica Hanson is here! (like that middle name!!) she was delivered on Thursday December 10 and weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz. It was a rough delivery for Heather which ended in an emergency C-Section but both baby and Mom ended up good and Heather is getting back to normal. Sopie is absolutely beautiful and she has so much hair it looks like a wig! it is so cute!!!! Here is an adorable pic of Dyl and Sophie holding hands! I could die. I hope this is a sign of how much they will love each other in the future....It is so funny to see the two of them together. Dyl is all boy and sophie is so girly-So cute. He is already such a chunk! when we layed them side by side we just laughed at the disparity. We actually took them down to their onesies to see there cute little bodies and Dyl's thighs compared to sophies were so chubby! I am sure she will catch up, she is one of Heathers baby's and they always get some chub on their bones.Tried to take a close one so I could show of her beautiful face but she was a bit mad about the whole thing... she still manages to look adorable however.I am so excited to start this new baby chapter with my sis. We always wanted to have our little ones at the same time and the first round she was a bit ahead of me. Were so glad your here Soph!

Arlo's Big Night

Arlo had his adorable christmas program at his school Litle Learners. They did an absolutely amazing job and the kids were SO CUTE! this was a very big deal for Arlo because he is a shy little guy and does not like new situations.
For extra support I brought his cousin Hay Hay because she is the one person he will do anything for. Man was I glad she came. She was able to talk him into getting into his little outfit (black shirt & white pants) by telling him that ET would think it was really cool-
Smart thinkin Hay! Then She got him onstage by bribing him with some of her her bubble tape, and telling him she would play with him after. I sat on the edge of the stage to ease him in, and once his cute little buddy Isiah got him laughing I snuck awayThey did the most adorable songs. At one point he was a reindeer and a tree.... I think the pictures make it pretty clear how he felt about thisBut although the tree suit was not his idea of "cool" I still caught him doing some of the cute little actions in spite of himself
Again, not to pleased about the Antlers, but he kept them on the whole time and sang a word -or maybe two of Rudolph
After some absolutely adorable singing from the kiddies the show was over. Arlo did great. He stayed up there the whole time and by the end was giggling and having a great time with the other kids. His cousin Hay was there to congratulate him and give him some bubble tape as promised.His Grandma and Grandpa were both there to see his big debut!
Way to go Arlo we love you!
