Christmas 2010

Christmas Morning

Santa's big gift...an art desk decked out with art supplies

Happiness!

A new suitcase from The Bruno's

Big hit of the day...a DJ mixing station!

Our Christmas was wonderful. My parents came over early for breakfast and gift opening. They stayed through dinner where we ate the most delicious crab. Sage was entertained all day with her new gifts. She loved everything and we loved seeing her excitement.

Merry Christmas Eve

Yay! It's Christmas Eve! Sage made ornaments today (thanks for the idea Diane). She loved it and worked completely independently for over an hour.

Homeade snack mix. It's our family's favorite snack.

We played lots of "TIP IT" today too. This was the parting gift that Sage's elf Eliza left for her this morning. What a fun game. We have all really enjoyed it today. I still have some baking to do today and clam dip to make. Then out for dinner and off to look at lights. My parents will be over first thing tomorrow morning to start off the Christmas festivities. Looking really forward to it.

Ballet Recital

Sage had her first ballet recital last night. Talk about cute! It was so much fun and please convince me that I'm not the only mom who cried her eyes out the entire time!

She even had her hair done since I can't do a thing with it.

It was a very short program showcasing the things the girls have been working on in class. The ballet company was putting on The Nutcracker later in the evening, but I knew Sage wouldn't make it through that, so we didn't stay. We went out with my parents to Outback for dinner after the recital and then drove around and looked at Christmas lights. It was a great day!
