Before we headed out to travel over the river and through the woods to celebrate Christmas, we had a little celebration with just the three of us. We got dressed up, went to Mass, then Christmas at the Zoo, and on to dinner.
We also tried another visit with Santa. Let's just say it didn't go so well! But luckily Santa was very nice and suggested a family photo instead. Apparently, it's okay to go by Santa as long as Mommy and Daddy are with you!
Olivia also had fun running around the inside of the Hibert Conservatory. We even got enjoy their "beachy" set-up.
When we got home that night, we put out some of Olivia's favorite snacks for Santa. We left him some string cheese, grapes, animals crackers, and a Danimal to wash it down with. I hope he enjoyed the treats!
Santa was very good to Miss Olivia! One of her favorite presents was a "Livi-sized" rocking chair. She loved opening the rest of her presents and helping Josh and I open ours too.
This was the aftermath of the opening of the presents. Clearly, we very blessed and fortunate this year!
After opening all those gifts, we had a little family craft time to make some special ornaments. Olivia did a great job of mixing the ingredients together and rolling out the dough. Thanks to Auntie Christi, Olivia and I had matching Mommy/Daughter aprons which I love! Christmas has been so special so far and we can't wait to keep celebrating with the rest of our family!
