Sam's 3rd! Disneyland!

Sam was treated to an exciting trip to SoCal for birthday #3. The entire family flew down from Seattle and met up with Nana Jan and Papa Alan, and of course locals Aunt TT and Mark. Onto the photos.

On the bus to the Happiest Place on Earth, Sam is ready to meet the residents.

First up is Goofy...."but I want to see Mickey."

Goof is more afraid of Sam...

Finally, Mickey! Put'r there pal.

Boom, crash.

Sam wanted to ride the carousel, but not a horse.

Sadie got cozy with TT.

But I don't want to go on Nemo!

After Nemo, Sam got to finally ride the Monorail.

Of course Sadie got some ears

Announcing the arrival of Sadie Anne!

So did you hear the news?! Cabrelle went into labor early on Christmas Eve, and 24 hours later, at 12:43am, we welcomed Sadie Anne to our family! We would like to point out that it was Sadie's decision to show up on Christmas Day. So when she gives us grief later in life, we'll just remind her that she lollygagged on the 24th.

Anyway, we ended up celebrating Christmas on the 27th, as Mom, Dad, and Sadie got to go hom on the 26th. Thankfully, Nana Jan and Papa Alan were in town to keep Sam busy, and later Christina and Mark arrived to help with the duty.

Mom has done an incredible job with everything, and we're just glad the labor was a lot shorter than when Sam was born. And despite everyone being tired, Sam got an earache on the 26th which required a hospital visit late that night. He's feeling a lot better now.

A bunch of photos of Sadie are below.

First bath

Hearing test, which was passed with flying colors.
