Merry Christmas!

Today we are feeling blessed and overwhelmed by all that Christmas brings. Here is a snapshot of our day.

Olivia woke up about 7:50 and we got her up and Olivia had breakfast. After she ate we then started opening presents. She seemed excited at first but the sound of the crinkling paper got her a little nervous but no crying. I think she was a little overwhelmed by what was going on. During presents Olivia also had a bottle and eventually went down for a nap. We finished opening gifts without her =(. After we finished opening I began the clean up process as Brendon prepared the ham. We had some snacks then Olivia woke up ate again and then we played and Skyped with family. Then Olivia took her second nap and we had a dinner guest, Graham (Brendon's friend from work), who ate dinner and hung out with us. After dinner Olivia woke up ate again and we all watched Elf. Then Graham left and Olivia took a bath in the BIG tub. She about crawled out of the little tub and stood up in it last night, which showed us that she might be ready for the big tub. She was a little nervous at first and then relaxed! Finally Brendon read the Polar Express as Olivia took her last bottle and she went to bed.

We want to thank everyone who sent Olivia gifts. You all did not have to do that but we thank you for it. Olivia is so loved by so many people and we are overwhelmed by your generosity and thoughtfulness!! We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas!!
