It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

On Friday we decorated our Christmas tree. We didn't go out and do any shopping, but I did hit a few online sales early that morning! :) The crowds in the stores are a little too much for me.


Olivia started her day watching Tinkerbell (possibly for the 10th time this weekend)! She enjoyed a little picnic of ovals (Townhouse crackers), a leftover donut and some water! Of course whenever she has a snack, the dogs aren't too far away. They know that she is likely to drop something....or at least they hope!

Here is Olivia helping us decorate our tree. We made sure to put all the fun decorations she can play with at the bottom! She really likes to take them all off the tree and play with them.

Here is Daddy & Olivia!



She was even good enough to pose in front of the tree for me to take a few shots! She is such a ham and definitely our daughter!














The below picture is of her "excited" face. She does all the emotions for us! We didn't even have to ask her to show us this one! She loves the tree!

Before we got the decorating going, we decided to invite Great-Grammie over to watch us decorate. I always have such great memories of decorating at Grammie's house! When Grammie moved into her new place, she gave a lot of her Christmas decorations away to her family (she had a TON). I was fortunate enough to get a LOT of them! I think that she enjoyed seeing so many of her ornaments as they went onto our tree! She is always so glad to see others enjoying things that she enjoyed for so many years!
Here is a picture of Olivia pulling the string on the musical ball. This is a favorite of my childhood from Grammie's house. She received it as a gift from her friends, the Masters' while they were on vacation in Japan. It plays the First Noel. Olivia likes to pull the cord to make the music!
And a picture of Olivia with her Great Grammie! I think that they both had fun seeing one another!

Here is Olivia wearing the door bells on her ankles, walking through the house. And she's carrying the mistletoe, just so she gets kissed everywhere she goes!

Below is Olivia and Grammie, with the doll that Grammie got her for her birthday. It giggles - which is funny and creepy at the same time.
