Sophie's 6th Birthday

Today we went to see the Movie BOLT with Sophie's BBF, Della and her Dad. Uncle Todd and Cooper also joined us. Followed by lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, a trip to play at Little Star Cafe, pick up her Barbie, hot pink ice cream cake then home to start the birthday dinner. Nima, Grampa Steve, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Liz, Gavin and Emma and Uncle Todd are all present to celebrate Sophie's 6th birthday!

Sophie turns 6 today!

Little Star Cafe Castle

This is the entrance to Land of Cookies Castle. This is where our birthday parties or other private and semi-private parties will be.

Sophie and Cooper don't want to leave Little Star! It is a blast for little kid's.

Pleasant Hill Lights up for Christmas

We went to Pleasant Hill Cresent Plaza for a family night of dancing, pictures with Santa and Roldoff and dinner at Sweet Tomatoes!

Star of the Week November 17th-21st

Sophie was Star of the Week in her Kindergarten Class...she gets special treatment from the teacher and she gets to tell all her classmates (30 classmates!) about her favorite things, places and family. Sophie said her favorite thing to do is DRAW. Her favorite place to go is SAN DIEGO. She wants to be an ARTIST when she grows up, and she wishes we had a HOT TUB! Marc and I brought snacks to her class on Friday the 17th and since she will not be in school for her 6th birthday, we celebrated it on Friday as well, with her favorite chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting! YUMMY!

Soccer Season comes to an end...

Sophie really enjoyed the soccer season that started in August '08. Tuesday night pratices and weekly Saturday games until November 8th. Della's dad, Steve Pascucci, was coach and so was Aurora (Vienna's mom). Marc and Armin were refs for the season. Sophie's soccer team was named "Love Bugs". Sophie started out pretty much playing with Della and playing no attention to the game, but turned out to be one of the teams most valuable players, scoring 3 or more goals each game!

Painting the Play Room

The play room painting has begun. The kitchen, train station, playground and drive-in movie...

Walnut Creek On Ice

Sophie and her BBF, Della, went ice skating in Walnut Creek. This was Sophie's first time on skates. Even with some falls (a lot of them), she still came out with a big smile and wants to go again.
