Christmas Day

(Sorry to still be talking about Christmas, but it was too much to put in one post!)

It's a good thing that we decided to open presents on the night of Christmas Eve.  Olivia slept until around 9:15 and then pretty much refused to come out of her room until around 10.  We ate breakfast and then headed downstairs.  We told her that Santa had filled her stocking.  Also, my mom got her a tricycle and wanted it under the tree, so that was there as well.

I took video at first, so there is no picture of it sitting under the tree.  Michael pushed her around for a little ride around the family room.  She got a tricycle for her birthday, and you may remember that she came out right away and exclaimed "It's a bicycle!".  Well, for whatever reason she has decided that this one is her motorcycle.  I honestly don't even know how she knows what a motorcycle is.

After the little ride it was time to dig into her stocking.
She got a new toothbrush/toothpaste, a Minnie Mouse cup, M&M's, fruit pouches, window clings, stickers, Elmo socks, Nemo fruit snacks, Minnie Mouse chap stick, and a pink rubber ducky.

After all the gift opening, we got ready and headed to Michael's grandma's house.  We had lunch there.  Olivia loved all the attention she got.  His cousin has two little girls, but unfortunately they were sick and at home.  Olivia didn't seem to mind though.

She got a basketball hoop from his uncle Scott, which she has already been playing with.  She loves the ones at The Little Gym, so this was perfect for her!

For whatever reason we ended up bringing her gifts from Michael's mom home with us and she opened them here.  She got lots of great things!
She got wall clings for her room, which have already been put up.  Once her room is all done I will take pictures and share, but the clings are of a tree (hello, for my little tree lover) with owls and such on it.

Once again she squealed "What is it?" with EACH gift... sometimes multiple times!

She got educational games

Tools for play doh

Books

A Princess Presto Wand!

A Nemo magnetic tin

Some clothes, an art smock, and a bath organizer

and her all time favorite gift from Christmas....
a trampoline!  It was a last minute add to the wish list.  I'm so glad I did too!
I'm not sure if she knew exactly what it was when she opened it.  But Michael put it together the next day and she is in love!  Not only is it fun for her, and a great way for her to get some energy out, but it is going to help with her jumping for sure.  She has used it every day so far, and multiple times each day.

She is certainly a bless little girl.  She didn't NEED anything, but she got some great gifts that will hopefully help keep her busy once baby brother comes.
