Christmas Day

Olivia must have been excited for Santa (or "Ta" as she calls him) because she woke up at 5:45 and refused to go back to bed.  So we headed to the living room to see if she was on the "Nice List" -- luckily she made it!

She ran straight to the table to play with the tea set.  It took a good 15 minutes to convince her to stop playing "tea party" and see what other goodies Santa brought her.

We then packed up and headed to the Woodlands to hang out with the Dean's.  Pop-O and Tutu set up this adorable tunnel and tent in the upstairs living room (or what has now been dubbed "Olivia's playroom").  She was not timid at all and raced through the tunnel to see what was waiting for her!

 

This is an awesome video that Tutu shot of Olivia playing in the balls and then seeing Uncle Drew for the first time as he realizes we are in matching pjs - pretty funny!

After some playtime, we got down to business opening presents.  Tutu knows the way to Olivia's heart is through her stomach and accordingly stuffed her stocking with Mum Mums.

She was over-the-moon with all her sweet presents.

It took Olivia a little while to warm up to Uncle Drew since she hasn't seen him in a few months.  A cute moment was after she opened one of her musical gifts, she started dancing.  She then realized Uncle Drew was watching and got embarrassed, so she hid in Pop-O's chest.  As you can see, Pop-O was very distraught about this! ;)

We spent the rest of the day in PJs eating, playing and sleeping.  Olivia was feeling pretty terrible, so we had a laid back dinner at home.

We had a great Christmas & feel so blessed that we got to spend it with our wonderful family!
