Tis the Season

Sakora is ready for CHristmas! She wanted to dress up in this adorable Santa outfit (thanks Devon!) and take some holiday pictures for everyone....

She already kind of celebrated her first Christmas this Thanksgiving with Kacey's family. We all met up in Tennessee and Kacey and I hosted THanksgiving at our home for the first time. It was so fun to see Kevin and Marla and Katie and Kody. We had many adventures in just a few short days... We all got up early and joined the Black Friday maddness for the first time ever! We also played some good rounds of croquet and board games (i finally got to play Scrabble! THanks Kevin!). Sakora even got in on Settlers and helped her Daddy strategize.Cooking huge meals is also always an adventure...especially with three cooks in the kitchen! THe food was great and Kacey and I are still making our way through the yummy leftovers. We were sad to see everyone leave and Sakora already misses her family...

Here are a series of shots of her enjoying her changing table...

Sakora also loves laying under the Christmas tree to look at the lights and ornaments. In these pics she was sleeping right before family pictures and looked so precious with all the presents!

When all else fails to get Sakora to sleep, Kacey comes to the rescue with Alterbridge! Alterbridge is one of Kaceys favorite rock groups and Sakora is apparently quite partial to them as well. Whenever she is super fussy, Kacey plays this one particular Alterbridge song and dances with her. As soon as she hears the opening guitar solo, she immediately stops crying and it never fails to put her to sleep by the last refrain. It looks like we might have a rocker on our hands!

Sleeping Beauty!

Snug as a bug on the couch...
