Christmas

Christmas this year with Sadie was so fun. Six is the perfect age for Santa, and presents, and grandmas and grandpas, and cousins, and eating, and playing, and of course, for enjoying the winter wonderland!

Sadie first celebrated Christmas at her Great-Grandma B's house on Saturday the 19th of December. See all the fun she had?




Then, Sadie and I drove to Waseca on Wednesday, right after school and we were glad we did, as the roads were starting to get bad! We liked it there so much, we ended up staying until Monday! :)

We went to church, left cookies and milk for Santa, (closed the doors to our bedroom very tightly... she wanted Santa to come, but not in her room, apparently!)opened presents, watched movies, ate awesome prime rib and sinful potatoes, and enjoyed time with our family. (We also played a LOT of Wii. Sadie bowled a 202 in her second game ever, and Hannah, Sadie and I got pret-ty good at High School Musical Dance Off!)






Then, when the weather cleared a bit, we drove to Sioux Falls to eat a lovely meal with the Skanckes. The girls had a wonderful time and the adults played Demon!

Sadie's Snowy Sixth

On her ACTUAL birthday, Sadie was snowed in with Mom, Cassie, and Finley. NO SCHOOL! It was rather lovely, because we all got to sleep in and play in the morning. Then Sadie got to choose her favorite restaurant for lunch. The Olive Garden! For her birthday treat, she got a minty platter with a candle in the middle. Yummy! Finley must have been starving, because she ate every last bite of spaghetti in her bowl, and Sadie had a field day with the salad and breadsticks! Before we left, we got a photo opportunity, and as you can see, the girls put on their silliest smiles!

Sadie swears...

When I told Sadie last week that she had five more minutes to play with her Polly Pockets, she asked, "Why, momma?" So I told her it was time for bath and bed! She looked at me, said, "Oh, Christ," and just walked away. I turned my head and laughed quietly, and then told her that she probably shouldn't say that- unless she's in church. But, I do know where she more than likely picked it up... unfortunately.
