My Home in Minnesota!

Another day on the road! Jeepers...when are we going to stay put?

We are finally here. I tried to unpack us, but Mom & Dad said we aren't staying. I am confused.

So this is my American home....

Thanks for going out right away & buying me this soft new rug for my knees Daddy.

After over a week of lots of shopping & work by my mom & dad, I was told we are flying the 30 hours back to Singapore. I was just starting to get used to this place. Though, I do miss the warm, sunny weather. I guess I'll help Dad confirm our flights. More travel, hmmm, those palm trees better be extra pretty when I get back.

Happy New Years or Merry Levesque Christmas...

Keep reading the 'Night Before Christmas' Grammy. I'm listening...just trying to check out Louis' toys before he notices.

Ohhhhh cake. My parents ate all of Nani & Papi's cake & didn't even spare me a flower. Hope you Levesques will save me one for my second Christmas celebration.Never mind, I think Daddy is a little too excited about the cake. We'll let him eat it all.Boy, I am a lucky girl; TWO 'first' Christmases in one year! Guess that's another reason Mom & Dad called me 'Lucky' before I was born.Family picture time! Thanks for my pretty dress Grammy.
Silly Auntie! I was just kidding about drinking beer with you. Louis, did you already have one with her?!Four generations: Great Grandma Puhek, Grammy Di, my mommy & meCool sled Grandpa! Was this really yours when you were a lad in Canada?

Hey Louis, why are you dressed like me?! First these people put us in boxes & now they dress us like Santa Claus? Makes me nervous for Easter....More Presents! How did Nani & Papi get my new bike here? Hmmm, my daddy better not tell me this is my 8th Birthday present or something.

Wow, Louis got a present from my Nani & Papi too! That tool bench looks just like your Daddy's Louis.

Man, I am beat Louis. What about you? These guys wear me out.

Visiting Grandpa & Grammy Di in MN

Ok, so I made it to Grandpa & Grammy Di's house, what's up with this box though? I like the monkies.......Interesting....
"Sadie, this is the new car I bought you. So remember this when you are sixteen."OH! This is fun! Though, that is sketchy that Daddy thinks this is my sixteenth B-day present. Thanks Grandpa & Grammy Di!
Man all that cruisin made me hungry for a biscuit. Anyone have a spot of tea?Present Time! Dad, are you sure I can open this early? I thought only Auntie Cole does that?Hey Aunt Cole look at my present from Granpa & Grammy Di! Bet you are jealous I got to open it before we celebrated Christmas. What do you think of my pretty outfit Louis got me? It matches perfectly with my slippers from Nani!

Man, this box car is great. I just sit back & relax while all these suckers pull me around the house in circles. Hey Auntie D, I think I'll take that beer now.

Ok Grammy Di, I think your place is alright. Can I have one of your famous Christmas cookies now?

Off to Minnesota to Meet the Rest of my Family!

Thanks for meeting me at the airport Aunt Denise, Aunt Nicole, cousin Louis, Grammy Di & Uncle Chad! (Grandpa was there too)

So you are my cousin Louis (now 8 months) & my other Aunties I've seen in my computer

No, I will not drink a beer with you Auntie D! I better get down; my mommy was right you are trouble.

What the heck, why am I back in my snowsuit?! Is Minnesota not on the equator like Singapore?

Uggg, first another plane ride (IL to MN), now a 3 hours car ride to Grandma & Grandpa's house. I am going to get some zzzz's.

Sadie's First Snow!

Daddy getting my boots on so I can go see what this snow is all about.

Ok Mommy, now you get dressed...I am getting hot in this rad snow suit Nani got me.

Mommy, I see you smiling but I am not loving this stuff.

Yes, Daddy you have a good 'Zoolander' look but that does not make this snow stuff any more enjoyable. Where are my palm trees & why am outside & not sweating???

Yep, it's official; I do not like snow, just like my mommy. Why she's faking it with that smile beats me?

Uncle Jason & cousin Henry came out to rescue me...hey guys why are we sitting in this stuff? Lets go in & have some hot cocoa or something.

Meeting My (Wilt) Cousins!

Cousin Henry (now age 3)

Cousin Oliver (now 2 months) & Aunt Karen

Not to forget "Super-Jason"...I mean Uncle Jason

Bonus meeting: second cousin Amanda, husband Chris & baby Chelsea (now 2 mo.)

Group photo time!

"Come back cousin Sadie!"

"Now stay put my young Jedi."

Papi & his grandkids (Oliver, Henry, Sadie)
"Henry I love you & am so glad I finally met you, but you better not eat my O's! (but that is a pretty sweet helmet)"
