For those few who read this get ready because this is a long post! So much happens every day and so many pictures are taken. Mostly of Olivia of course!

Just a cute picture of our baby girl all ready for bed!
So since we would be in Washington for Christmas, my family decided to have an early Christmas celebration.

We opened our presents and had an amazing dinner. Olivia got some really fun toys!
I love Emerson's face in the background and who knows what my boy is doing.

I got some really cute boots! He got some nice sweaters and a video camera. I am very excited about this present. I guess it's mostly mine since I will use it more.

Michael and I gave Olivia a few of her presents since they were to big to take in our bags. We are excited for her to be able to play with them. She is still too small but loves looking at the lights on them.

Since we don't go to church (because of the germs) we decided to dress her up in one of her cute dresses!
It was very fun spending time with my family. I was so excited to give Olivia all her presents even though I am sure she had no idea what was going on. It was also hard realizing that I wouldn't be with my family on Christmas but we were very excited to go up to Washington.

So the day before we left, Michael took my ring in to get polished. When he got back he gave me a rose and a note and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him again haha. It was adorable. I love it when he gets all romantic.

So we finally made it to Washington. It was quite the adventure flying with a baby. We definitely struggled getting there but after about 12 hours of flying, sitting in airports, and driving we made it!

Aunt Sarah holding Olivia. It was her first time meeting her. She was such a great help and loved to hold her. I am sure they will be little buddies!

It was uncle Matthew's first time meeting her also. It was funny because he was the one who was constantly asking to hold "it." We told him he couldn't hold "it" unless he called her a she or her or something besides "it". Well I'm afraid that the replacement name he came up with was not much better...old man turtle haha.
Her are a few cuties of this baby girl:





We acted out the nativity and of course the 3 of us were Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. Olivia was a bit more behaved during the actual acting out part.

Christmas morning!


With her Grandma Kelly on Christmas morning.

Watching movies! I saw Dispicable Me and Toy Story 3 for the first time. I really liked them.

Michael and I bought tetris on my cell phone. We are seriously addicted.

Napping with my baby girl. She is so cuddly.

She loves sleeping with things over her mouth and face. Usually it is her arm or hand. Sometimes if I am holding her she will turn her head so that her face is directly on my arm. It's kind of funny.

Daddy and baby girl sleeping. She seems to nap better when she is not alone.

I love this picture.

Michael's brother Stephen planned a poetry reading. Michael was so excited about this.
He took it quite seriously by making sure he was all dressed up in his dad's suit coat.
We are now home.

We went to dinner at Chili's on New Year's Day with my parents, Michael's parents and his brother. This was Olivia's first time out. Well out of her car seat. I usually only take her out when I know she will be asleep that way I can keep her covered. But this time she decided she wanted to wake up and get out so I had no choice. She loves grandpa John.

Aunty Sophie loves Olivia. She is always talking to her in this really funny voice.

Michael and baby girl all ready to cheer the buckeyes to victory in the Sugar Bowl.

Sadly, her little buckeye outfit is getting a little too small so we had to keep the bottom unsnapped to prevent them squishing her chubby little legs. She loved watching the game and at the end when it got quite intense she stared at the t.v. the whole time.



Her little neck is so chubby that we hardly get to see it unless we lay her on her tummy. She will lift her little head up and stick her neck out like a little turtle and look around. It's adorable.


She is 3 months now.

She has become quite the smiler. At first I thought she was going to just be a really serious baby because she hardly smiled but now she does it all the time. I love it and can't wait to hear her little giggle.

Uncle Winston picked out these little pajamas for her. It was fun to see her in blue since she mostly wears pink of course.
We had an amazing holiday spent with amazing family.
We could not be more blessed.
We are excited for this new year and all the laughs and memories we will share.
P.s. I just wanted to announce that my boy got a 4.0. I could not be prouder.
P.s.s. Olivia got blessed on Sunday January 2nd. Pictures to come.
