We hope everyone had a Merry Xmas! Sophie’s 2nd Xmas was a great success and Santa filled the tree with presents. She loved opening them and we made it last all day long by playing with each gift after we opened it. The weather was beautiful and sunny and it was just a perfect day. On Xmas eve we watched some Polar Express, daddy read our Xmas eve book, and we made brownies for Santa. It was strange to have a sunny 80 degree day on Xmas, but eh, we adapted just fine (lol). Below is a slideshow from the day with captions :). Both Maritza’s family and Pablo’s family made Xmas tamales for us (a costa rican tradition). Love you all!

The Good Ole Water hose
It is no secret that we have a little water baby on our hands. She just totally geeks out at all water whether in a bucket, shower, sink, pool, rain, or water hose. Here are some pics from the water hose today. She liked to just stand there and get squirted. She even tried to stick her whole face in it. Ugh these pics just make me crack up…only Iggs.
Sum Sum Summa Time!
Well I just noticed Daddy did a perfect post about our day below, so I am just going to supplement with some photos. When I was on the phone with PaPa today I said we didn’t really do much, just hung around the house. Well after going through the photos, it appears we were quite busy around this house- lol. I think we soaked up all the sun today. I’m putting some pics below and then will do a separate post with just the water hose photos b/c they deserve a post of their own. Summmmma time in Costa Rica!

It was only a matter of time..we are now going for a dip in the blue bucket. Look at that devious smirk.
Putting up the Xmas tree
Well, we bought our first Xmas tree in CR and it is actually bigger than our one in Chicago. It was 1/2 the price and even rotates…brilliant…though not so brilliant this year when we don’t have a bunch of ornaments yet and can’t get away with decorating one side-lol. Anyway, I went around snapping some pics of what our weirdo family was doing while daddy was setting up the tree…not normal.
