Rob, Sophia and I had an early breakfast courtesy of Sophia's present from Santa. My mom, my step-dad, my , and our good friend Rebecca came over around 9 to have brunch. My mom made homemade quiches, cinnamon rolls, and ricotta balls sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, along with bacon and mimosa's. Everything was delicious!
We open our stocking that "Santa" brought us. Sophia was really jazzed about the Santa pez candy toy she got. I didn't realize how weird eating pez candy is until I was explaining to Sophia that you have to tilt Santa's head back and take the candy from his neck.
The adults played our annual white elephant game. It is so fun. My brother ended up with a very fluffy, very orange bathrobe.

We open our presents. Sophia was very patient, she wanted to big present that Noni and Papa had gotten. Every year, I like to get some kind of gadget. In years past, they have been, ice tea maker, digital photo frame, hot chocolate maker, etc. This year was no different, I got an apple slicer-corer-peeler.
Sophia loved her new trike and art easel. She also loved the Dora phone Uncle Clarkie got for her. However, Sophia does not like Dora when it is close to nap time since Dora asks her to play with her. On many occasions, Sophia says "Nooooo!" and hangs up the phone. When Dora calls back she ignores the call or puts the phone in a kitchen drawer. I am hoping phone manners with come later.
Later, we had homemade Lasagna that Jim, my step-dad made. He makes the best lasagna ever!
