Do I have the best hubby or what? Clearly he should be in charge of our blog. He is so much better at putting himself out there than I am. He is such a sweety and Livi and I are lucky to have him.

I've kind of been in the post Christmas slump so I thought I'd fill some time and finally update our blog with some Christmas pics. I didn't take nearly as many as I wanted to - with everything going on I neglected the camera that day. We had a great Christmas and I think I was spoiled more than Livi this year. Livi didn't really get the concept of Christmas and Santa yet, but she did know how to tear into those gifts and she loved all the new toys. She was also able to say HO HO HO when asked what Santa says.

This was the best Christmas ever! My hubby gave me a 7 night Mediterranean cruise for Christmas - we leave in June. My awesome mom and dad gave me a cricut machine (can anyone show me how to use it?) and my inlaws gave me a bike with the kiddie trailer for Livi - can't wait for some warm weather. How spoiled am I! Dallas gets so excited for Christmas and I love that about him even though I have to remind myself of that when he wakes us up at 5:30 to open presents.


At the beginning of December we took Olivia to the mall to sit on Santa's lap and get her picture taken. She was a little leery of Santa, but sat on his lap for a minute and did great. Then, a few days before Christmas we took her to a Christmas party at Dallas' aunt's house. Santa made a stop at the party and when we tried to put Olivia on Santa's lap at that time she flipped out and would not go near him. Tears, drama, the works. The ironic thing was that Santa was Dallas' dad. I know Dallas' dad felt bad and wanted to show Livi it was him, but he couldn't ruin the secret for the 20 other kiddos at the party.



All in all we had a great Christmas and hope all of you did too. I still can't believe its over let alone a month later. Here's hoping the rest of these winter months pass quickly so we can update the blog with some fun summer pics from the pool.

I love it! Carter only liked Santa from a distance this year...maybe next year we can get him close enough to get a picture!

I am so excited for you to get to go on your cruise! (I'm also excited to hit the pool with you guys when it warms up!)
