We have started preparing for Christmas around our house. I have decided to not stress about having everything just so. There are a lot of things we might not get to this year and that is going to be okay. Our tree is crooked with a crooked star on top and colored lights and I am also okay with that. This year along with every other year after this we will focus on the true meaning, Jesus' birth, and if we get around to all the other stuff than great but if we don't then oh well.
It was rainy and cold out the other day so we decided to stay in and have a jammie day and do some finger paint art work. A good time was had by all.
The nameless elf has made her or his (she has a skirt but Olivia is convinced that it's a boy) appearance. She/he has had a bubble bath in marshmallows, swung by the chandelier and wreath, been caught reading Frosty the snowman and is currently playing Candy Land. Olivia has a good time finding he/she every morning.
Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Jay surprised Olivia with her very own Christmas tree. I'm sure you can't tell she was pretty proud.
The most prized Christmas decoration is the Polar Express train under the tree. Daddy even likes putting it back on the track every 5 seconds because little hands keeping grabbing for it....
