(her daughter is also named Sophia ;-)
"Sophia and children like her have a LOT to teach us if we would just pay attention. They embody everything the holidays SHOULD be about. They take deep pleasure in the simple company and attention of the people they love. The just want you to be there. They enjoy the lights and smells and sounds of the holidays. (.....) They are physically incapable of hating (or) making other people feel small. They do not have a mean spirited bone in their blessed little bodies. (.....) with hearts and souls true as theirs, are they really disabled? (.....) for everything they lack physically they make up for with the purity and beauty that is their souls"
I just loved that. It's so true.
For Christmas this year we planned to have breakfast casserole at my Mom's and a turkey dinner at our house with my Dad. We did not get to do that, but we still made a little Christmas for Max and Sophie ;-)
Presents waiting on the porch for Santa :-)
My dad dressed up every year when we were kids. And my Mom would wake us up to spy on Santa putting the presents under the tree. Thank goodness for this bit of magic on this otherwise uneventful Christmas Eve 🎅
Look close, you can see Santa's beard ;-)
Sophie's Christmas present from Santa (Jason this year) could not be sweeter. It's an art projector. The kids can draw her pictures, and we can project them onto the ceiling for her to see ❤
Max is delighted with his new diggers that do all sorts of tricks, and say "Max Power!" :-) The funnest part of Christmas this year was listening to him exclaim about everything he got ;-)
And finally Sophia today :-) Max brings her his toys and animals ;-)
She doesn't look it but she is feeling slightly better today. She's breathing a little easier and her fever hasn't come back for 24 hours :-)
