a glimpse of sadie's life at nana & papa's...

{starting off with a little "hot cocoa" at breakfast. she thinks whip cream is called hot cocoa, since we put it on ours. so she will go to the fridge & ask for hot cocoa. loves it!}

{a little reading with papa}

{ snacking with the cats... on the cat food. she is always trying to sneak it... i don't know}

{ a little peek~a~boo in the fridge}

{& finally "sadie go night, night with tarj"}
