Christmas...

So I realized that I haven't talked about our Christmas yet. We had a wonderful Christmas, this year was the first year that Olivia was really into it, so it was so much fun to see how excited she got. We did the whole thing with leaving milk and a Ritz cracker(I forgot to make or get cookies) out for Santa and we left some carrots out for the reindeer. She was so happy in the morning to find that the milk was gone and that most of the carrots were gone and that Santa had taken a bite out of her cracker. She lucked out this year with gifts, Damon and I got her a new robe which she is wearing in the first picture and some dress up shoes, a purse, and some play bracelets and lots of books. My sister Megan got her the doll she is holding which she loves, and my other sister got her a snowman book, Olivia really likes snowmen. The big gift was from my parents and its the dollhouse that you see in the photo. She loves it and plays with it quite often.
The last two photos are from our annual Christmas party out at our church. Olivia was so excited to see Santa, but when we tried to sit her on his lap she kind of got a little scared. I don't really blame her, I never liked to do that either. She was however more than willing to take the goodie bag that he had for her. Such a girl always willing to have presents. Well that about sums up our Christmas. Aside from tons of snow that we received, we really had a great holiday season remembering the real meaning of why we celebrate Christmas.
