We spent Christmas Eve with Matt's family in the Woodlands. We went to dinner at Perry's Steakhouse. Olivia had a bit of trouble falling asleep in the restaurant, but after some rocking, swaddling and a bottle, she finally settled down. Then we came home, played with her a bit and put her to bed so Santa could come! (In case you can't tell, Olivia is in love with her Uncle Drew!)
Unfortunately, Matt's mom got really sick in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve, so we postponed our Christmas celebration until she was better. Thankfully, she was back on her feet in a few days, and we were able to do Christmas on Tuesday - Matt and I called it "Second Christmas" and we knew Olivia was happy to have an excuse to extend the presents!
O playing with Pop-O
Help from mommy opening all her presents. She got some linking letters from Santa and some very cute outfits from Tutu and Pop-O!
We spent the afternoon on Christmas day in Humble with my family. Olivia loved getting passed around and all of the fun presents she got. Then Mimi and GrandDad cooked a delicious dinner that we all enjoyed!
Opening her Disney Princess Christmas book & Disney Nursery Rhyme book from Aunt Yasmin and Aunt Nazreen. Olivia loves music and reading, so this was a PERFECT present! We've already spent a lot of time listening to the Christmas music from the book!
Olivia got the Sleep Giraffe from GrandDad and Mimi. Olivia already has Sleep Sheep and loves it.This was a very nice gift considering Mimi claims that Sleep Sheep gives her a headache every time she comes over! Sleep Giraffe has become the new favorite at the Dean house because it has a setting that sounds like a blow dryer - one of Olivia's favorite sounds! (Sorry Sleep Sheep!)
When I was growing up, my parents got my sisters and I an ornament each Christmas. I love this tradition because I now have a great collection to go our my own tree. So I knew I wanted to continue this with Olivia. We got her a special "Baby's First Christmas" giraffe ornament with her name on it. I hope she will enjoy this special tradition as she gets older.
Santa brought Olivia a baby "gym." She can lay on her back and kick it to make noises and sounds. Or lay on her tummy and press the buttons. She LOVES it!
It was such a nice Christmas with our families and I can't wait until next year when our sweet girl will understand more of what is going on!
