The Christmas Rundown



For Family Night this week we told Sage that we'd be celebrating two birthdays but we didn't tell her who. We made birthday hats (check out the photo above) and even a birthday cake (brownies). Then we played a guessing game to find out who had a birthday. Can you guess? Joseph Smith and the Savior!




Le Jeep looks good in white no? Just in time for Christmas! Woohoo!

A lovely mom in our new ward invited us to Christmas Eve. Kaly has the most beautiful house and it's perfect for hosting parties. Sage met 2 other 4 1/2 year olds and ate more goodies in one sitting than she's probably had in her entire life. When Shane told her to try a doughnut she asked, "What's a doughnut?"

After eating, playing, acting out the Christmas story with all the other kids and listening to "The Night Before Christmas" she was hungry again. With all of the yummy food around Sage chose an apple...atta girl!




Sage thought Santa would enjoy some cookies and tomatoes, the carrot is for the reindeer.
She wanted to serve Santa two beverages...milk and orange juice. No oranges so we squeezed tangerines. Santa loooved the tangerine juice and thinks we should serve it more often.

Sage's letter to Santa (she wrote it out herself):

Hello Santa Claus. This food is for you. The carrot is for the reindeer.

On the back she provided a food key (you can see in the photo up above). She drew and colored pictures of each food item and then labeled them.




Favorite Gifts:

Sage: Dark Chocolate Reindeer
Micah: wrapping paper (hours of fun)
Shane and Alicia: Sage's 7:30 wake-up time




Santa ran out of sleds so he left this IOU for Sage. We'll take her tomorrow to find one. Shane... errr Santa tried to disguise his handwriting and wrote in lower case. It's been almost a decade since he's used lower case. I about died laughing when I saw his t's....if you click on the picture you'll see what I mean.





Would you believe it if I told you that a hot dog is a big treat around here? We decided that dogs and fries and kombucha would make a great Christmas dinner. The ultimate low key holiday meal eh?
