Our Holidays

Well we are back from our Christmas fun & festivities. We had so much fun being with family & some friends. Sadie saw more people & noise than she ever has... sometimes our life up here can be pretty quiet. She had to make sure she could see at least one of the 2 familar faces most of the time. So in no particular order here are some pictures


Here is Sadie with her Great Grandma who just loves seeing Sadie. We like her too she was the one who was sure Sadie would be a little girl with blonde hair & blue eyes. Yeah she was right!
Sadie got lots of play time with him & Ryan more of a taste of what we do everyday. And he now knows what great lungs this girl has.
All played out at Grandmas
Alli "helping" with bath time what are cousins for right.... shes like the big sister Sadie will never have such a "great help"

Suprise! when Lindsay & Derek leave Uncle Pete & his girlfriend Gabriell knew just what to do. It is WAY past their bedtime.
Here is a new tradition if you can't tell we ALL have handbells and our playing Christmas songs oh man if you could here us. It was really fun but we were all glad to put them away till next year.

Another tradition is taking all the grandkids to the clinic for the weigh off. Sadie is almost a whopping 12 lbs.

Alli & Lucy wheeling around. before the grandkids we used to have wheelchair races I guess we grew out of that when Derek (the in-law) came & crushed our times. Come to think of it he was the one trying to make the weigh off a competition.

I guess I'm the first to post the Christmas craft we made. Thanks to Rhonda who is so crafty & creative and made sure we all finished . It is an advent calender (made out of a muffin tin) so each day you pull off on e of the cute magnetic squares and get a treat. I will appreciate this craft for years to come Sadie better too. It turned into an all day affair with kids & babies interupting numerous times. But so fun to do. Thanks again Rhonda!Just a picture I took of Sadie before Christmas that I really like.

Aw, sounds like you had a great Christmas. Sadie is growing up so fast. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. I'm so jealous that you're down to your last semester. Sigh.
