Christmas

Olivia had a very good second Christmas, even though we are separated from the families. Olivia loved opening presents and getting gifts from Santa. She just didn't want to see Santa, more on that below. Here are a few pics to show how much fun she had.

Olivia opening the first of her presents on Christmas Eve. She really got into the swing of it, after opening a present she would look at the tree and say "more please."

Olivia holding one of her new presents. Needless to say, she was a bit peeved when there were no more gifts left.

This is Christmas morning, take two. The first time as she was about to come into the room, Heather said "Olivia, Santa brought you presents!" This was not what Olivia wanted to hear, we think she was scared the jolly old elf would actually be waiting for her (she's not a fan, see earlier posts.) So Olivia went back to bed for a little while to calm down. 20 minutes later she ran down the hall and was very excited to see all her new toys...

...big hits included the kitchen (left), the fairy princess dancing castle (pink thing behind her), and her new Fancy Nancy book.

Here is Olivia a bit later on wearing her new Christmas outfit (editors note: she is wearing a different outfit than Christmas eve, only the beret is the same). We cleared out the living room for a Christmas dinner with our Rota friends and Olivia danced to Christmas music in the new found space.

We hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas!

YOur day looks beautiful- Olivia looks cute. Thanks for the clarification on the beret, we were all concerned about that!

Amara got the pink and purple castle too!

How was the Christmas dinner with friends?

Reilly's big gift her 2nd Christmas was a kitchen, and she still plays with it at 5.5! I am so glad that you have Fancy Nancy, too. Just wait until she starts using the fancy words....correctly! Happy New year.

O is adorable! That beret is too cute on her. Thank goodness she didn't wear the same outfit two days in a row!
