Happy Birthday To Our Little Chimp!
Sometimes I still can't believe that we are parents. The weight of the responsibility occasionally crashes down and I think what in the world are we doing, and then I look at Sadie especially and remember the day we took her home. I remember being so excited to take her home that we stayed in the hospital less then 24 hours. Then I remember getting her home and being so completely overwhelmed with all the little details that I actually called the hospital and asked if I could come back at some point in the middle of that first night. How embarrassing is that??? So, now when I'm overwhelmed I often look at her and remember that first day and realize that a day at a time she's taught us to be parents and 1 day at a time God has given us wisdom and patience and grace to do the jobs we've been given to do in raising them.
Sadie has grown up a lot this year. She is such a big helper, her memory is constantly amazing us, and the way that her brothers look up to her is so sweet. She can also be extremely silly, hence the nickname her Daddy's given her of The Little Chimp, and while we are sometimes sad that she is not so little any more, we love the girl she's already growing up to be and are really treasuring our time at home with her this year before she heads off to kindergarten next year.
Uncle Robert surprised Sadie with balloons, doughnuts, and a Starbucks hot chocolate on the morning of her birthday! Also noticed the dress first thing in the morning. She got to go shopping with Grammy the day day before for her birthday and was so excited to wear what she had picked out. Love our little girly girl!
Next we headed over to Grammy's house to make her Elsa birthday cake.

We drove out to Corvallis so that Daddy could have lunch with the birthday girl.
In the evening we celebrated with family!
Wyatt picked out his own gift for Sadie.
She loved it!
Mommy made this awesome pinata which unfortunately was indestructible. Opps :)
Happy Birthday Sadie!!!
