Getting Ready for Christmas

The week before Christmas was SO busy! (I didn't have time to blog...) Marc made several last minute shopping trips, we did LOTS of baking, and it seemed like we would never finish wrapping Christmas presents! We kept all of the presents in the guest bedroom until Christmas Eve--a few came out for that night and the rest came out after Sadie went to bed.

The Sunday before Christmas our church was almost cancelled due to weather. There were not a lot of people there, but Sadie loved wearing her fancy dress!

Sadie loved helping bake cookies this year. We would usually bake in the morning before lunch and nap time. Any time I would ask her if she wanted to help make cookies she would run to the kitchen saying "Sadie help make cookies!" and get her step ladder. Her favorite ingredient is eggs (she's crushed a couple in her hand!) As soon as we would start the mixer she would always say "Sadie taste". Her favorite part was always having a taste at the end...

Sadie's babysitter had a Christmas party for her kids on the last day of school. (School was cancelled, but she still had the party, so we ventured out into the snow...)

Sadie and Kinnick with Ms. Jennifer--in case you can't tell, Sadie is saying "No"--she didn't want her picture taken.
