Despite the snow storm this year, we managed to see almost everyone that we had planned to and had a great Christmas! Santa and all of our family were very good to Olivia and she got some great new things to play with. Our house now looks like a tornado every day because of it :) Thanks everyone!

Olivia loves her Erin!
Liv loved Erin and Joels bunny and had to give her kisses!

CHRISTMAS MORNING......
She came in bed to snuggle with us in the morning and we had to wake her up later because she was so exhausted from the night before! She was out!
Liv got a new play kitchen for Christmas from us. She loves to turn the grill on because it makes noise and flames! Come on over and she will whip you something up!
More play food!
Liv also got some new necklaces and bracelets. Now she is stylin'
I got a new camera for Christmas! It is so nice and I love it! I can't stop taking pictures now! This was the first picture I took and my favorite of them all!
After presents at our house we went to Grandma and Grandpa Voldens for breakfast and more presents!

CHRISTMAS NIGHT....
After Christmas at my parents we went home, packed, and drove half way to Illinois and stayed over night in the dells for some family time since we don't get a lot of that anymore with Chris and I working opposite shifts. It was so nice to spend some time together and relax during the holiday craziness and then we were able to get up early and drive the rest of the way to Illinois in the snow to make it to all of the Stenzel family Christmas events! And surprize them too!
2 of my favorite people!
Our princess and her frog!
She loved going down this slide....and it was fast!
Splash!
Her favorite was the wave pool because she could just swim. When the waves came they were huge! I don't know how she wasn't scared....I was :)
Of course we had to bring the necklaces with....
THE NEXT MORNING.......

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Stenzel for everything! And thank you to everyone for all of the fun times and wonderful food and gifts! We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too!
Daddy showing her the perfect swing....
She would rather swing them in the air....
Swing it just like this....
Whoa! look out! She has a big swing!
Laughing at Daddies golf trick....
She thought his trick was hilarious!
Do it again! She just kept bringing the balls back to Chris to do it again and again and again!
Then she figured out the golf club bag had wheels and was going all around the house with it. I guess that was more amusing than playing!
