Sadie put out cookies and milk for Santa and was very excited to see he had left some things behind in exchange. Max had fun with the stocking and presents too.
The boys had fun opening a few gifts on Christmas eve. Max had a lot of fun with the ribbon and paper. He also love, love, loves his new car from Gramma and Pops. It seems wrong that this is his first Christmas, Sadie was only 2 days old when she had hers.
Oma and Sadie made snowmen today. It was a perfect frosty the snowman day. Great for the day before Christmas.
Sadie turned 3 today. We went to Katie's place for a Christmas party and Sadie got another cake. She was pretty excited.
We had one really nice day at the beach in Fort Myers and then it cooled down. But still we went and played in the sand every day and we had Lara, Jim and Edie in our condo to keep us busy. And Genevieve, Jason, Nate and Theo to come hang out with as well. It was a very relaxing vacation (minus the sleepless up all night with coughing children part-but I think sick kids on vacation is pretty much a given at this point).
Words you don't expect to hear from your 3 year old. Sadie got a hello kitty make up set for her birthday (all lip gloss of various glittery types) and she has been applying it liberally day and night. Then she stares at herself in her hello kitty mirror. Its quite funny.
We had Sadie's birthday party a few weeks early this year in hopes it would be a little less overwhelming. She was queen of the ball and her and Madeline chased each other around like crazy ladies. It was fun and I think Sadie really enjoyed herself.
This was our conversation the other morning (and photo of the same moment-Sadie once again stripping down on a chilly Dec morning):
me: look your a nudie
s: NO I am not a nudie (screaming very mad)
me: Oh maybe a 60's love child
s: NO I am not a love child
me: Oh well then who are you
s: I'm a Wild Animal!
So true, so true.

So true, so true.
The kids did well with Santa. No tears. Sadie knows what she wants and Santa is on top of the request.
Sadie got this little elf hat from Santa and she has been wearing it all day. Just don't call it an elf hat because she will get very upset and let you know its a lettuce hat (it does look like lettuce).
