Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I can't believe this is your 3rd Christmas! 
We were all up by 7 AM and we opened our stockings and your gifts from Santa Claus!
You loved that Santa ate most of the [6 giant] cookies you left out last night!
Santa brought you a Little People Princess castle, a coffee maker for your kitchen, and a lot of goodies in your stocking!

Mommy got a special stocking stuffer: chocolates and tickets to The Lion King at DPAC in March!
After opening our stockings, you helped get breakfast together.
And apparently you couldn't wait for the cinnamon rolls!
Uncle Brad and Uncle Lee went back to bed and you played and did stickers while the rest of us got ready. 
This is the Christmas dress that Rah Rah smocked and I wore when I was 18 months old! I absolutely love that you can wear it!
Aunt Mel came over to open presents with us before lunch! You did great distributing the gifts to everyone! I told you who the gifts were for and you took them straight to that person. 
You got a lot of great gifts: a Cookie Monster, Mickey Mouse pizza and cake set, Mickey Mouse cookies, a magnet board with teddy bear, princess, and animal magnets. 
You also loved helping everyone open their gifts.
Cousin Jenna came up from Atlanta to spend Christmas with us! Unfortunately the weather was terrible today- warm, but it rained so much that the ways up and down the mountain were shut down at different times! But we're glad Jenna was able to come up (even though it took her twice as long as usual to get home).
Christmas lunch was great- beef tenderloin, green beans, hash brown casserole, cranberry sauce, rolls, and more. It was all delicious!
Aunt Mel's friend John stopped by for a little while too. 
When you woke up from your nap, you got a special Christmas cookie snack. 
We braved the torrential downpour to head to Nanny and Papaw's house tonight.
Most of the family wasn't able to make it due to the weather, but those who were there had a great time! We ate Nanny's delicious traditional Christmas meal, opened gifts (youngest to oldest), and played Minute to Win it games. You got a Belle princess dress, Elsa doll, and crawling Minnie Mouse.
Aunt June took all the pictures from tonight on her camera, so hopefully I can get some from her soon!
Merry Christmas, Sadie!
