Daycare Gifts

Sadie goes to daycare Monday-Thursday from 7 a.m.- noon. I then pick her up and take her to my mom's where we eat lunch, play, and then I put her down for a nap, then I head back to work from 1-6 p.m. It makes for some long days with little time to do anything else, but it's so worth it to have a three day weekend. I'm just really lucky to have such a great job that's close to home and a wonderful mother and sister that give her all the attention she could ever ask for! Sadie's daycare is great too, because they are wonderful people that truly love her and it gives her a chance to interact with other kids. They had a Christmas party yesterday, and Sadie had a blast. They made these cute reindeer ears, made her a stocking full of yummy goodies, gave her an Elmo toy (her favorite) and gave us a frame that Sadie had painted with a picture of her in it. They also frosted cookies, and ate pizza. Sadie loves to go there and I know she's well taken care of. Sadie also loves to go to grandma's house and play with her aunt Cami! Poor Sadie is left with boring ol' me Friday-Sunday :)

Santa Scary

Santa Clause Encounters: 5

Actually siting on Santa's lap: 0

Barely getting close enough to get a present: 4

Sadie loves Santa (from far away)- she talks about him all the time. Sometimes she says "Santa scary", and we told her "no Santa is funny and nice". So now whenever Sadie says "Santa scary", she quickly follows up with a smile and says "no Santa funny, nice". She also figured out pretty quick that Santa gives her a present, so by the time we got to the 5th Santa Clause, she wasn't as nervous about it, but she was still all business- no talking or sitting on his lap, just grab the present and get out!

Crazy month

I love this time of year, but it's so crazy! Here's a few things we've been up to....

Drew had surgery on his ankle. Apparently, he had an old injury that was causing him major problems. He has yet to figure out what the "old injury" was exactly, but it caused some serious problems in his ankle joint. After the surgery the doctor informed me that is was "really ugly in there". Apparently there was a lot of scar tissue and cartilage just floating around in his ankle joint, so hopefully whatever the doctor did will work, and Drew's ankle will start feeling good again.

We went to the NFR in Las Vegas last week. Lots of fun! It makes me miss rodeo. Check out our awesome seats!

And finally, this is what happens when I'm at work, so Drew has to pick up Sadie and get her ready to go to the festival of trees....

You can never go wrong with just throwing on a hat when your hair isn't quite right, but come on...did it have to be that hat??? j/k honey. Thanks for all your help with Sadie!
