We arrived in snowy Hartford, Conn., New Year’s Eve day.
New Year’s Eve was also Christmas Eve in the Uhl household this year. So we had the traditional Christmas Eve dinner of appetizers.
Santa definitely stopped here, too.
Jill opened a bottle of Dom Perignon, which she received as a gift.
Andy and I toasted to a happy and healthy 2009.
New Year’s Day/Christmas morning, Sophie got into her stocking and in it, among other things, was Knuffle Bunny, the star character in one of her favorite books.
And then we opened presents!
Sophie got one more use out of her Christmas outfit and …
… enjoyed her new teether.
Sophie played with her new toys while …
… we baked Christmas cookies.
That evening we enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner.
