A White Christmas with the Hamilton Family

We had a great Christmas celebration with the Hamilton family on the 25th. It snowed all day and we spent a wonderful day together eating, playing and opening gifts. Olivia got a rocking horse that she abosutely loves, it makes her squeal with delight everytime that she sees it. Here are some pictures from our day together:




Christmas with the Zollner Family


We thoroughly enjoyed our first Christmas with Olivia. We were able to take some extra days off work and spend time with our families. Olivia loved having all of the relatives around, I don't think that she ever sat down by herself or went to bed on time. We had Christmas #1 with my Mom and sisters on the 23rd of December.

We also got another present that we weren't expecting, my sister Litti got engaged to her boyfried Mike! We are very excited to welcome Mike into the family (get ready Mike!) and Brody is thrilled to have another man in the family.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas together:

The Perfect Tree

This past weekend we went out in search of Olivia's first Christmas tree. The weather was cold and someone (we won't mention who) only gave us 15 minutes to pick out our perfect Christmas tree. Luckily the farm we went to had a lot of great trees so it was easy to do. Even though it was cold, we had a great time and Olivia picked out a beautiful tree!
