We had a really nice Christmas and Olivia had so much fun. We spent Christmas Eve making cut-out cookies and she helped to decorate them all. It makes such a mess but she had a lot of fun and was excited to pick out the cookies that we would leave for Santa.
After spending the rest of the morning and early afternoon preparing for a houseful of people coming for Christmas day we went to our 4:00 pm Christmas Eve church service. After that we came home to open a few gifts that were exchanged between us.
We almost forgot to set out the cookies and milk and then it was off to bed to get a good night's sleep before our busy Christmas day.
Olivia woke us up at about 6:00 am and said "hurry, there are pwesents under the twee!" She had a great time opening everything and we all had fun watching her. Everyone got a lot of nice things and then it was to get ready for all the Manning side to come to our house.
It can get pretty crowded in our house but we had a great time. The food everyone brought was terrific and I think everyone had a good time.
Once again Olivia got a pile of presents from Grandma, Grandpa and her aunts. Being the youngest she of course got to hand out all the presents to everyone and was in her glory getting all the attention.
The holidays can sure be exhausting but we really had a great time and made many good memories.
Next stop will be celebrating Christmas with the Pitz side on New Year's day.....but that will be at Bob and Cindie's house so I can spend the week recovering from the Christmas weekend!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our family to yours!!
