Sadie and Callie: Very Merry Christmas

Christmas came and went in a flurry....with parties on the 23rd, 24th, and on the 25th, it was a crazy and fun few days. On the 23rd, we went to the annual Xmas party at Aunty Alice's house and got to see a real life "Hawaiian Santa." The whole Santa experience was great, as we watched Sadie wait patiently with excitement in her eyes for her name to be called....at one point, I think she became worried (as she was one of the last to be called)...and she looked back at me with a sad face and said "where's Sadie's one?" :) So cute. When she finally heard her name, she went up to Santa without hesitation and made everyone laugh when she started lifting up her dress and showing her diaper (sign of nervousness I guess).

Since daddy had to work on Xmas day this year, we decided that Sadie could open a few gifts on Xmas eve with us, take some to the Yamashita's house to open with her "big brother and sister, Chase and Pepe" on Xmas day, and the rest she could open the day AFTER Xmas. It worked out well, but next year I don't think she'll be too happy about waiting that extra day!
