Christmas morning was so much fun with Olivia this year. This is the first Christmas that she actually knew Santa was coming and was excited about it. She had gone to bed late on Christmas Eve. Scott woke up around 8am Christmas morning and I fed him breakfast and my mom came over and we had some coffee and waited for Olivia and Erik to wake up. At 9:30 am we couldn't wait any longer so we woke them up. She came downstairs and was crying because I didn't move her back into her bed the night before and she thought maybe Santa didn't come because she wasn't in her own bed (we let her fall asleep in our bed the night before and told her we would move her back into her bed but of course we were so tired that never happened). I told her not to worry that Santa came anyway! She checked to make sure he ate her cookies and drank the milk she left for him and then moved to the tree. She was so excited!
We opened presents and then it was Erik's job to put everything together! LOL We also have an addition to the family, Daddy gave Olivia her first pet! A fish, and Olivia named her Katie, not sure why, but that's her name. She also got a a robot puppy and she is still thinking of name for the puppy, but don't worry, we didn't leave her home alone, she came with us for Christmas dinner (the puppy)!
We then went to my inlaws later in the afternoon and exchanged gifts with them and had dinner. Erik made his mom something homemade which was a replica of the key from their old home in South Salem, NY for her to hang in the house and put their keys on. She really loved it and those are the kind of gifts that really touch you. He worked on it for so long and sanded and painted and sanded and painted and was so proud of it. It really came out nice. I took a couple of pics of Olivia, Scott and Sammy in their matching handmade hats and Olivia's poncho that Bestema made for them. So cute!!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
