We talked about Jesus' birth as often as we could leading up to Christmas, and replaced normal bedtime stories with scripture on Christmas Eve. Even though she is so young, I know she understands some things, so I did my best to help her understand that Christmas was not about opening presents but about our Savior being born!
No holiday is complete without cut-out cookies, and let me tell you that was sure an adventure! There was flour everywhere! ha.
 |
| most all of the cookies have her finger prints in them ;) |
 |
| she just had to use the spatula after watching me do it! |
Another fun part of Christmas at this age is the boxes!
 |
| Where's Olivia?! |
She loved crawling in the big ones and hiding in the smaller ones!
 |
| There she is! |
Olivia also loved to "deliver" the presents to the person they were for. However, the catch was that you then let her open it for you when she got it to you ;)

| A coloring table and stool from Nana & Papa |
 |
| A rocking horse from Grandma and Grandpa! |
 |
| A high chair for her new baby! |
 |
| An American Girl 'Bitty Baby' from Grandma & Grandpa and this great carrying backpack! |
 |
| a pink toaster for her kitchen! |
 |
| she loves her new drum! |
Santa brought her a pink kitchen set and it has been a real hit! She loves to fix food for her baby and feed her in the high chair. She also takes the baby bottle and holds it up the faucet pretending to fill it with water before giving it to baby! I just love watching her imagination (and imitation) skills at work!
