Merry Christmas!

Well okay, it's not actually Christmas, but today, December 21st was the day that The Ws celebrated our family Christmas. We are flying out to Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday to spend a week with Curt's family and instead of lugging all of our gifts to Calgary, we were lucky enough to have an early visit from Santa last night!!

It was so fun to see Sadie's reaction to wake up and see all of the presents! Obviously last year being only 3 months, she wasn't too excited!! But this year, smiles and squeals filled our living room!




Sadie's main gift this year from Santa was the Little People Learn About Town. At first, Curt and I were little hesitant in getting it for Sadie since it is intended for 2-5 year olds...but oh how happy we are to have asked Santa for it for Sadie - she loves it! We've removed a few of the smaller pieces to avoid the temptation of jamming them in her mouth, but otherwise it's been a HUGE hit! YEY Santa!!!


Curt and I also exchanged gifts and we opened gifts from my family - even Diesel got a few prezzies from Santa Paws!


It was a great day despite the rain! We spent most of the day enjoying our new prezzies and going for walks - the perfect way to spend a California Christmas! We had hoped to head out to Vasona Park tonight in order to ride the "Choo Choo" (as known to little Boo!) and look at the Christmas lights...but unfortunately, the rain and cold has put a damper on our plans!

We fly out on Tuesday to Calgary and are looking forward to staying at Grandad Oliver's house and hopefully a few day trips out to Banff, Alberta :) How beautiful it is up there! We will have limited internet access, so I will take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and of course a very Happy New Year!

From our family to yours,

Thanks for following us!

Hi there!

Glad you made it to our new home! We are excited you are here!

Middle of December already...can it be?! Sadie will be 15 months on the 19th...impossible! Our little girl is doing great! She had her first hair cut on Saturday - she was good...no tears, but quite squirmy so Jennifer (my stylist) just took a bit off the back and trimmed her bangs...next time we'll go for style!

Alison also had her hair cut...pictures to come!!!

Sunday we headed to the San Jose Holiday Parade downtown and it was a blast! We had a great time watching all of the floats and then wandering around Christmas in the Park - it's hard to get into the spirit without all of the white, fluffy stuff on the ground, so this was nice as it helped get us into the holiday spirit! We took the Light Rail downtown and Sadie seemed to enjoy that...waving bye-bye to everyone out the window - too cute! I swear that is one of the cutest things about Sadie right now - waving "Hi" and "Byebye" to everyone. I was driving yesterday and when checking my blind spot, I spotted a little Sadie in her car seat waving to the Light Rail going past her, outside the window - too cute!





This weekend Sadie and Alison are off to see the Nutcracker Ballet, downtown San Jose! We can't wait! Curt will be waiting at home for us with Mr.Diesel! And then Saturday night a first for the Wortmans!!! Sadie is being babysat by someone other than my Mum or a close friend!! Curt and Alison are off to Holiday Parties and so our babysitter Angela will be spending a few hours minding our house and Diesel and of course the Sleeping Beauty. Here's hoping Saturday is not the night Sadie decides to wake up every few hours!!
