Happy Birthday, Sadie!
Sadie turned six on December 2. Yes, this post is late, but better late than never. Here are some highlights from her many birthday celebrations!
Cake at Nana and BobBob's house:
Birthday morning at home:
Birthday cupcakes with Helena:
Party at the Aquatic Center with friends:
At Sadie's school, each child celebrates a Special Day in honor of their birthday. As the birthday child holds a globe, they circle a lit candle to symbolize the earth moving around the sun. As they walk, the teacher reads a story about each year of their life. Here is the story we wrote for Sadie:
Sadie’s Special Day: 6 Years Old
When Sadie was zero, she was a very sweet baby. She learned to smile and wave. Her first word was “dog”. When Sadie was a baby, she made friends. Her first two friends were Katie and Isaac.
When Sadie was one, she walked all around and started to run. She liked to eat all kinds of foods. She liked to be outside and play with other children.
When Sadie was two, she liked to look at board books and do puzzles. She learned how to jump and she loved to play in the snow.
When Sadie was three, she became a big sister. Helena was born. Sadie liked helping take care of her sister. She also started to draw wonderful pictures.
When Sadie was four, she learned how to swim and she started going to Montessori Discovery School. She liked art, reading, stories and being outdoors.
When Sadie was five, she became a great swimmer and reader. She was very curious about science and nature. She played soccer and rode her bike. She drew pictures and played with dolls. She liked playing with her friends and with her sister.
Today is Sadie’s sixth birthday. She is six years old. We love you, Sadie!

Sadie makes Cranberry Sauce
This year, we are spending Thanksgiving in Concord with Nana and Bob Bob, instead of in New York with Grandma and Grandpa. One of the things we usually do with Grandma is make cranberry sauce. So, Sadie and I made it ourselves last night and we will bring it to Concord with us.

Vintage cute
Yay! Helena is big enough for this adorable coat and bonnet that belonged to Auntie Kara and Auntie Lauren. I loved putting this super cute set on Sadie when she was this age.
The set actually has matching wool leggings as well. So retro and adorable.

Visit with Baby Wes!
We got to meet Baby Wes yesterday and visit with him. He is very cute and very tiny. Both girls were enthralled with him. We had a lot of fun holding him, giving him his first bath, changing his outfit. Wes really liked it when Sadie read him a story.
Nellie also liked putting Elmo into all of Wes's baby gear.

Pre-Halloween
Today was Helena's daycare Halloween party. She wore this cute kitty cat costume that was Sadie's.
She looked pretty cute and was hamming it up with lots of "meows"!

Welcome Cousin Wes!
We are so happy to welcome Wes, Sadie and Helena's 1st first cousin! Congratulations Kara and Kyle!
Kids aren't allowed to visit the hospital, so Dan went down alone to meet little Wes. Sadie was pretty sad about that, so we made our own Baby Pumpkin Wes to enjoy.
We're having a good time with Pumpkin Wes, but we look forward to meeting the real boy!
