Christmas Day

What fun we had on Christmas Day!  Sage and Finn weren't to into the presents, but Sloan had a great time opening her presents.  It was so fun to watch her open her presents and get all excited with each one.  Here are a few pictures from Christmas Day.

 Reese got this shot and I love it!  Our beautiful girl getting a kiss from Mommy.

 Sloan and Finn playing with their new Pillow Pets!  Sage really liked hers too!

Sage was having lots of fun in Finn's chair!  Thanks to Russ and Faith she can now have fun in her own Pottery Barn chair!

Finn and Sage hanging out on Christmas Day.

TIme with Uncle Russ

While we were away for Christmas it was very clear who Sage wanted to spend time with:  Uncle Russ.  It was so cute!   She always wanted to be with Uncle Russ.   Thank you Russ for giving Sage so much of your time and attention while we were there.  She just loves her Uncle Russ!   Here are some pictures of the two of them over Christmas.

 At Christmas Eve service, it was a bit busy for us, the kids were giving us all a run for our money.

Christmas Day - all Sage wanted was to sit with Uncle Russ.  Mom and Dad couldn't keep her happy but Uncle Russ did.  

Christmas Day opening presents was lots of fun but Uncle Russ made it even more fun!

Sleeping

This picture was taken during one of Sage's naps when we were at Russ and Faith's for Christmas.  I wish I could say she slept great while we were there - that is definitely not the case.  She slept horrible the entire time we were away from home.  Naps were taken with Mom or Dad and two of the nights Sage slept with me.  This is the first time in over eleven months that Sage slept with one of us for the night.  We all sleep much better if she sleeps in her crib.  We have all slept alot better since we got home and Sage has been in her crib.  Sage went right to sleep in her crib when we got home and has been going down for naps like a champ!  She has been getting up about once a night since we got home.  This is fine with me, it is a great time to give her medicine.  She is teething and has a sinus infection.  We hope you feel better soon Sage!

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!
