March 2012
On Sadie's birthday, she woke up to her room all decorated with streamers and balloons and her presents awaiting to be opened.
We love that birthday tradition!

I checked Sadie out of school for a lunch date to one of her favorite places, Chick-Fil-A.
A birthday is not a birthday around here without receiving a package from Aunt Jill. She's the best!!
She gave Sadie her first watch.
Thanks Jill!
Sadie chose Pizza Factory for her birthday dinner.
Nana, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Karin and her cousin Kate came.
She was so happy Kate could come on a school night!
We had Sadie's friend party on another day. She really wanted a skating party. Our closest skating rink is a little far so we made our own rink at the church gym.
I bought a bunch of balloons at Walmart to decorate the gym with. Cheap and easy. No helium required for this project. My friend Jessica was so kind to come help me.
We hooked up the mic system and plugged in the ipod and made a fun balloon banner for the stage.
They loved singing along to their favorite tunes up there.
We threaded balloons on a fishing line and tied them across the gym on the basketball hoops. It was a perfect touch and made the gym a little more cozy and festive.
I wanted to put the glow-in-the-dark sticks in some of the balloons but it wouldn't have mattered because it wasn't dark enough.
She's quite the performer!
Everyone sat in a circle to open presents and Frankie decided to steal the show and climbed in the middle. He quickly became the center of attention.
During the party I was starting to not feel so well. I think it turned out to be strep. :( But the show must go on! I didn't take many pictures of the food table. I had drinks and treats for the skaters and I bought some yummy cupcakes. We gave out hula hoops as the party favors.
It was a super simple party! Sadie had a great time with her friends.
We sure love Sadie! We feel so lucky to have her in our family!
