Christmas Eve!

We had a wonderful Christmas out East with family!  I wanted to share a few pictures from Christmas Eve.  It was after church and before Sage went to bed and she wasn't really into getting her picture taken.   We didn't get a good family shot so here is Sage with each of us and by herself.  We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Holiday Spirit

This past weekend was a great family weekend.  Saturday night we went to the zoo and saw the beautiful Christmas lights with Kevin, Stephanie and Sam.  It was cold but we had a great time!  Then Sunday we went to see Jingle Rails with Kelly and Jason.  Jingle Rails is a train exhibit with a network of trestles, bridges and tunnels with chugging trains and replicas of national treasures, trimmed for the holidays and all made with natural materials.  Corvin would have loved it, we will have to take him next year.  We had a fun afternoon and Sage really seemed intrigued by the trains.  We enjoyed our family weekend and spending time with great friends.  What a good way to get in the holiday spirit!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve! 

A Christmas Book

We got a fun package in the mail last week from Nana and Papa.  A fabric Christmas book!  Sage was having fun with Daddy reading it for the first time.  She was very active that night and didn't make it through the whole book.  But we have read it many times since then.  Thanks Nana for making me a special book!

Another New Bib

I have gotten another new Bib for Sage and I had to get a picture of her in it.  The bib is adorable!   I got it from my friend, Sarah.  Her company Aspire to be is on Etsy and she ships her products all over the U.S.   You have to check it out:

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from her for Sage:  bibs, pacifier clips/toy clips, and a cute stuffed bunny.  She does great work and she now has an embroidery machine!   When I told her I wanted a bib for Sage all I said was that I wanted a girly bib.  I got the cutest bib ever!  Here is Sage sporting her new bib.   Sage is also sporting a cheesy smile.  She has been smiling like this for a few weeks and I finally captured it.  I am a little biased but I love this cheesy smile!

Upside Down

One of Sage's favorite activities is being upside down!   She loves it - our silly girl!  Not sure if its the head rush or what, that she loves but she just giggles when she is upside down.  Reese was taking a quick break the other day and he was enjoying playing with Sage and she was to!   You can see in this picture how long her hair has gotten.

Early Christmas present

We got an early Christmas present in the mail from Aunt Sandy, Uncle Al and Elizabeth.  Thank you for thinking of Sage and sending her fun presents.  We will miss not seeing you at Christmas.  Sandy sent two presents for Sage, one to open now and another on Christmas.  What a lucky girl Sage is to be so loved!  We love you favorite Aunt Sandy!! 

 Sage even had fun opening the card!

 She was so serious opening the present!  

 I had to include this one even though it is a little fuzzy.  She is to cute with her tongue sticking out!  Sage loves her new Christmas book - Thank you!

Uh-Oh

Sage is thinking in this picture:  Uh-oh I think I have something I am not supposed to have.  She is correct she has the lens cap to our camera and she was very proud of herself for snagging it.  She got it and took off crawling very fast!  Here she is stopped to look over her treasure.

Playing cards

One of Sage's favorite games is to play with cards.  We have a drawer in our coffee table that has become the card drawer.  It has at least 6 different decks all without cases (since Sage has torn all the cases to shreds!)  She will play with the cards for a very long time and loves to find a new deck and add it to her card collection!

Santa Visit

We got to see Santa this week at our playgroup.  Bev's Dad was so nice to come over and be Santa for us so the kids could visit with him.  Well, let's just say Sage wasn't to fond of Santa and neither were most of the kids.  We really appreciated Bev's Dad coming over for the kids.  It was definitely a fun afternoon. 

She wasn't going to let go of me, but we tried it and you can see the result below. 

Not so happy.  

Really not happy here.  My friend Sarah said she is pretty sure this would win an award for the best reaction to Santa.  I have to agree with her.  They took a group picture and Sage was so upset she wasn't even in the picture - she did calm down pretty quickly.  But she didn't want anything to do do with Santa.
