Christmas crazy!

I feel like Olivia is at the perfect age to enjoy all the Christmas fun that Houston has to offer, so we packed as much as we could into the weekend!

Aunt Yazzie bought Olivia a gingerbread house, so she came over on Friday for dinner and decorating.  The house started off pretty cute ...

But took a bit of a morbid turn when Olivia got her hands on some red icing.  

And then, as what seems like a common occurrence these days, Olivia ended up naked. But she sure did have fun with Aunt Yazzie.

On Saturday morning we went to the Houston Symphony's children's series performance of a "Frozen and Frosty Christmas."  It was a really great event and a good way to introduce her to the symphony. Plus, they encouraged kids to dress up like Elsa, which is always the key to a good time in Olivia's book!

After nap, we went to an ornament exchange with some of my friends from V&E.  

I didn't get any pics at the event, but it was such a cute little party and Olivia ended up getting a Nutcracker ornament, which was perfect for our Nutcracker Tea Party on Sunday.  One of the little girls in Olivia's class knows THE Sugar Plum Fairy (from the Houston Ballet) and she was kind enough to host a little tea party for all the girls in the class.  Olivia was obviously in Heaven the entire time and is already talking about next year's party.

The girls started with tea (hot cocoa) service and mini-desserts

While they ate, the beautiful Sugar Plum fairy came around and chatted with them.

Silliness ensues whenever Olivia is with her friends, especially Miss Emma

Then the Sugarplum Fairy read them some Christmas stories

And, of course, they got some photo ops with her.

At one point, they wanted each girl to have their own picture with her but these 3 Musketeers refused to be separated. 

And they were on a sugarplum high as the party winded down..

Such a fun (but exhausting!) weekend!
