Boating!

Sadie went out on the boat for the first time... She loved it!

Minnie Mouse!

Minnie Mouse wasn't a Christmas present. Nate actually brought her back from Orlando for Sadie a few months ago. But at that time, Sadie didn't know who Minnie was, so she kind of disappeared for awhile. When she resurfaced while I was organizing all of Sadie's new toys, Sadie was thrilled. She couldn't believe her eyes. She kept holding her up to stare at her, then pulling her in for a hug, then holding her up again, then hugging her, on and on and on....

Sadie and Minnie had so much fun that they wore each other out!

Making Music

Sadie got a bunch of musical toys this year for Christmas...

Here she is playing the xylophone...

While she was making music with the xylophone, I was chiming in by playing the harmonica. Apparently, Sadie wanted to play the harmonica too, so she removed one of the keys from the xylophone and tried to use it as a harmonica!

Here she is playing the flute!

She looks like a natural...

Playing the flute is serious business!

I have no idea what this was about... I guess that after playing the harmonica, flute, and kazoo, she wanted to see if she could make music with her foot!

Tunnels of Fun!

For Christmas, Sadie got some tunnels and tents. She can't get enough of them!

In the tent with Daddy.

Crawling through to Mommy.

She loves her ladybug tent!

She likes to lay in the tunnel and roll around in circles across the carpet!

She also loves to use the smaller tunnel to play peek-a-boo! I love this game!

Daddy shows her how to play the game with the big tunnel!

Christmas Cards!

Now that Christmas is over, and the Christmas cards have been sent out, I can finally unveil my favorite shots from our Christmas card photo shoot. I am so lucky that Sadie loves photo shoots!
