Today Sadie was counting my "heckles" (freckles). She only has one and is pretty amazed that I have so many heckles.

Here Sadie is helping me get ready in the morning. She thinks she's pretty cute.

A Green Christmas.

No snow here in Florida. We still have green grass and flowers blooming. It's actually been pretty chilly here but the other day was a whopping 76 degrees. Is it really December?

Sadie is going to be 2 next month. I can hardly believe it! Im so pleased that her hair is actually starting to grow.

-Sadie's favorite Christmas movie- Frosty the Snowman

-Favorite Christmas song- Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

-Favorite Christmas stories- Frosty the Snowman, "Baby Jesus Birfday", anything about snow men.

Sadie definitely has a place in her dear heart for snowmen, particularly Frosty. She talks about Frosty all day long and asks me to "Hing Homan Hong" (which is sing snowman song) several times a day... she sounds a tad asian. We have probably watched Frosty the Snowman 40 plus times, checked out snowmen books, made lots of snowmen crafts, sung Homan Hong a million times.

I'm really not sure what is going to happen when Christmas is over and I hide all things snowmen. But in the words of ol' Frosty himself "I will be back again next year!"

Enjoying this wonderful Christmas time.

On the hunt for the perfect Christmas Tree... Sadie was really insistent on this bad boy.

But then she decided to be a bit more practical and settle for a Lowes special.

Back up a little bit daddy, I need some space to really get the feel for this fern.

Still not quite sure if this is the one.

Coming to mom for advice...
Decided she could live with this one.

Always has to help.
Did you know that down here in the south they have Christmas Parades? Cool, huh? Sadie got several beads and a beanie baby thrown at her for "flashing" her cute smile. I think she must have dressed her self. Doesn't she look fabulous?

London-2 months old

Our little London is 2 months old. She is the cutest, happiest, sweetest little girl. She is now weighing in at 10'14 and is 23.4 inches long. She is smiling all the time. Cooing and talking (baby talk) to me all the time. She loves her big sister even though she tackles her in hugs and is constantly in her face or trying to pick her up. She is such an easy going baby. She is never really fussy, always just happy as can be. It's kind of weird how easy and good she is. She still sleeps through the night; I some times have to wake her in the morning. When I was pregnant I was all nervous about having a newborn again thinking it would be really hard, but it seems that having a toddler is now more challenging than a new born. I guess she is almost in the terrible 2's. I just love her chubby cheeks, smile and dimples. They kill me! London I love you!

Tonight we went driving around looking at Christmas lights and Sadie was so amazed she kept saying, "Look Lundie Loo" (thats what we call her- Sadie says it without the "L's") "Christmas lights!" She really wanted her little sister to enjoy them just like she was. I thought it was so sweet.

Thanksgiving

We decided since we are not close enough to go home for Thanksgiving that we go all out each year and do something fun for Thanksgiving. Last year we hit up NYC and did Macy's Day parade and all that jazz that goes on in the Big Apple. Since 2 kids seems to be slowing us down a bit we decided to do something a bit more tame. This year we decided to hit up Orlando and do Disney World. 3 fun filled days at the happiest place on earth with our good friends the Mann's. Don't worry, we didn't skip out on turkey dinner. We made a complete feast at the condo we rented. You can't skip the turkey!! The Magical Kingdom...

Epcot Central...
Animal's Kingdom...

Sadie is all about Mickey and Minnie mouse. We waited an hour twice to see these mice. Sadie loved it and was surprisingly not scared.

Buddies. So cute. Sadie is a shrimp.
Horsey Ride!
Did you know that you can take newborn babies on almost all the rides? Here she is on Small World. She was a little creeped out.
Don't mess with a trained Ninja!
