Christmas Morning 2013

We had a fabulous Christmas this year! All my siblings and spouses were home for a giant week of Christmas fun! The house has been crazy, but we have just had the best time.

Christmas morning I had to force Olivia out of bed at 7:30. She told me that she didn't want it to be Christmas and that I should stop being so excited! Ha! I had been up for 30 minutes just waiting to wake her up! We were able to connect with Andrew on Skype so he was "there" for our whole Christmas morning. I think we were both a little surprised at just how awful being apart was. Skype definitely helps, but there were a few tears shed. Already looking forward to our next Christmas together as a family of FOUR!

I love love this sweet boy. 

"Noculars"!! (Binoculars :)

Checking out the goodies :)

Olivia told me that Santa didn't bring the presents, but it was Daddy who sent the presents :) She had so much fun opening everything. I always seem to go overboard, but I love buying presents for her more than myself!

She got a sweet Bitty Baby for Christmas. She is such a mommy, and even had to bring the baby to my ultrasound this morning.

My sweet Andrew! So thankful for him every day.

I think she liked the doll set :) It was her first time having a doll with changes of clothes. Everything fits in the sweet little back pack so we can take it with us when we fly out to Nebraska this weekend!

Adam totally surprised my sister Alyssa with an Iphone. There are about 20 hilarious pictures that all look just like this. 

Last but not least, was Olivia's "big" present! She told anyone who would ask she wanted a pink bike with a bell for Christmas. Santa Daddy supplied :)

Daddy and Ty! I always thought Tyler looked so much like Beth, but I see Wade in this picture!

 The "Three" of us :)

Playing with the rest of her toy set! She put the baby to bed, fed it, took it to the store, and rocked it over and over. She is going to be such a sweet little helper to the new baby this summer! We are thankful to be surrounded by family, and that another holiday is done. Counting down the days till we are back together!
