Our Christmas was wonderful! It has been so much fun having all of our families together and spending time laughing and enjoying one anothers company. It truly is what Christmas is all about.
This year was so much fun with Sadie, she really embodies the magic and spirit of Christmas and there is nothing quite like seeing Christmas through her eyes. She is a reminder of everything good and how it is always better to give than to receive. We were able to participate in a Secret Santa this year and she was more than willing to donate some of her gifts. We told her there was a little girl just her age that wasnt getting anything for Christmas and it about broke her heart. Whenever we went shopping she would always remind me that this little girl needed things too. We are thankful we have been blessed with everything we need and still have the opportunity to share with others.
My two favorite memories of this year will always be watching Charlie and Sadie making a card for Santa and setting out the treats for him and the reindeer. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
The second was placing a small present underneath Sadies tree in her room. We told her if she woke up and there was a present under her tree it meant that she had been a good girl and that Santa had come to check on her in the night. We got her a necklace with a Polynesian ivory carving of a flower. I wish I could have got her reaction on tape, it was priceless!
Some more pictures...
I started doing some sewing before Christmas and made Sadie five pairs of pajama bottoms and a blanket. I forgot how fun it was to sew and now thanks to Charlie I can start sewing up a storm, he got me a new sewing machine!

Looks like it was a wonderful Christmas. Sadie is as adorable as ever! I love the black dress that she's wearing in the top pic. I got the same one for my girls but in red. They're so cute! Have a great New Year!
I love the new picture of Sadie on your header! What a cute idea to have Santa call her! She's darling.
Looks like fun! I can't wait until my little ones actually understand what Christmas is. I also love the new picture of Sadie on your header. She looks like a little flapper girl, and those shoes are darling!
Looks like you guys had a great Christmas and "Santa" brought looks of goodies for Sadie! Hope you have a great New Year!
Sadie is the cutest!!! This is such a fun age for Christmas! Kids make it so magical! Glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
What a great idea to put the dress ups in a tote.
Okay...I obviously haven't checked your blog in a while...Sadie has grown up a lot! Glad you guys had a fun Christmas. Isn't it fun having a 3 year old at Christmas time? Peyton was sooooo into it.
