Christmas has come and gone and I must say it was wonderful! This was the first Christmas that Ben and I spent together (one of us has always had to work) and we were so blessed to have our bundle of joy with us too! Olivia did not know quite what to do yet with the presents but she has enjoyed playing with all the toys since. Jax actually opened most of her presents.... he was showing Livvi the ropes. We spent Christmas Eve with Ben's dad, Bill, and Jan at the Christmas Eve service at Hope, such a wonderful service! On Christmas morning my mom, and Ben's mom, Lee and Aunt Beth came over for breakfast and mimosas and we opened presents. We really enjoyed spending the morning relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Although I really enjoyed the morning... I started feeling sick mid morning.... pretty sure I had the flu!! Seriously?? But yes, I felt so bad because I was useless. Ben, being the wonderful husband that he is, made the food to take to my mom's house. We spent the afternoon at mom's where my sister and her crew came. Of course there was alot of action there and they all kept Olivia busy! Finally, we went back home and dad and Deb came over and brought MORE presents. After it was all said and done we all crashed in bed! I'm sooo thankful that we were able to spend time with everyone we love.
Christmas Eve at Hope!
Yes, that is tissue paper on Jax... and Yes, that is Jax's toy in Olivia's hand
and yes, after alllll the new toys.... she still has Jax's new toy in her hand
celebrating Christmas is exhausting! especially since this was her first nap (at 6pm in the car)
