Christmas

Wow it has been a while since I have put up a new post! We have been busy with the holidays, traveling and briefly being sick. :( Luckily Olivia never got the sick part! Back to the holidays... I worked for 3 nights and we took off as soon as we packed up the truck Christmas eve morning. The trip wasn't bad at all. It would've been a little better if I got more than 45 minutes of sleep during the ride, but I would much rather have that than a scary snowy drive! We were off to John's grandparent's house for the usual Christmas eve get together. We had a great time and got to spend several hours there visiting. Olivia did great and had a lot of fun visiting with Lily who is almost 2. I don't think I got any pictures since we were having so much fun!

Christmas morning we woke up at John's parents house and Olivia opened a lot of presents! She really got the hang of ripping the paper off and seeing what was inside. I'm sure next year will be even more fun!

With the farm toy from us:

Her big flounder from tante Marie

Then Christmas day we headed over to Auntie Diane's for a few hours. Olivia was great- especially with all the breakable things around! We avoided her running straight into the gigantic fireplace a couple times and she only lunged for the glass lit candleholders once or twice... nothing broken or burned thank goodness! She had a lot of fun running around and seeing everyone!

Loving the gigantic mirror with Madeline.

She kept sticking her tongue out at Madeline. It was too funny!

And on our last full day in town- Sunday, we went to my mom's house on Vashon. She is in the process of re-doing the floors. They already look great though with just the carpet removed! Olivia loved being in the middle of all the action of unwrapping presents. We had cupcakes in the afternoon that she really loved too!

That was our Seattle Christmas trip! We had a great drive to and from Seattle which I was very happy for! Last night here in Spokane I think we may have gotten close to a foot of snow so I am glad we are home now!
