"Hang on Tight"

"Hang on Tight" that is what we heard all last night while Sage was playing.   She had climbed onto her push toy and asked to be pushed.  She got pushed all over the house.  Daddy did most of the pushing and I would jump in when he needed a break.   You probably can't tell from this picture that our girl is sick - she has a cold/cough.  Her nose is running, she has a fever and she doesn't have much of an appetite.   I got lots of extra cuddles today - which I loved!  We hope she feels better soon. 

Grocery Shopping

Last night Sage told Reese she was going grocery shopping.  She was all set she had her purse, her John Deere keys, and her basket.   She had lots of fun going from the back door into the kitchen telling us what she had bought at the Grocery store.  She told us she went to Meijers, Kroger, Target, and Walmart.  Our imaginative girl!

Happy New Year!

We had our own little New Year's celebration at home - just the three of us!  Reese wasn't feeling great, and I knew I wouldn't make it until midnight and Sage was asleep by 8pm.   So we had an early celebration around 5pm.  We had fun with our girl!  We hope you all had a great New Year's Eve and we hope that 2012 is all that you want it to be!

New Toys

Sage has had alot of fun playing with her new toys that she got for Christmas.  One of her favorites is the blender she got from Mimi and Pop-pop.  I think Reese and I have been served over a 100 smoothies from this new blender!  It is a hit!

Princess Trunk

Sage got a trunk of princess dress-up clothes from Santa.  She wasn't so sure at first.  She tried on the tiara and the necklace, then came the shoes and the wand.  Then she thought maybe the dresses might be o.k. too.  We had lots of fun watching her play princess!

She didn't want to take it off her princess outfit - it was time for bed and she wanted to play still!

The Kitchen

What do you need to keep three little kids busy? A brand new kitchen!  All three of the kids spent lots of time playing with the kitchen and all the little appliances that go with it!  We were going to put the kitchen in the basement.  But Sage is having so much fun with it we are going to keep it in the family room for now. 

Christmas with Nana & Papa!

Nana and Papa got her after Sage woke up from her nap on Christmas Day.  She had lots of fun opening her gifts and playing with Nana and Papa. 

 She was excited to see what was in the big bag!

 She isn't quite tall enough to ride her Barbie Big Wheels - she can't reach the pedals.  But she still scoots around on it!

 She had to help with every present!

Christmas Morning II

Sage slept in until 7:00 on Christmas morning!   We watched a little bit of Mickey Mouse, I went down and plugged in all the Christmas lights and made cinnamon pull-apart bread for breakfast.   She was at the top of the stairs ready to come down and I told her Santa had been here and left her presents.  She thought I meant Santa was still here and she stopped and grabbed Reese's hand and wouldn't go any further until I reassured her that Santa was gone.   She saw her kitchen first and it was a hit!

Then she saw all the presents and she had fun opening all of them, hers, mine and Reese's! 

 Love this picture of these two looking at each other - so sweet!

Taking her time and opening her present.  This was the memory game she got from us. 

Sage's favorite thing in her stocking was this top.  It lights up when you let it go and spins all over the floor!

Favorite Christmas Gifts!

We got three gifts from Sage this Christmas - she made them in school with her teachers.  We loved the gifts!   I posted a picture a few weeks ago with the gifts all wrapped up.  Here are the three gifts she made us.

A tealight candle holder, an ornament with Sage's picture and a tile with Sage's handprint.  Love them all!
