The days leading up to Christmas

On Tuesday, we baked Christmas cookies. Olivia helped mix all the dough, roll and cut them out, and then enjoyed her artistic freedom to decorate them. Olivia thinks we need to leave all of them out for Santa. She is overflowing with anticipation for the upcoming days. It's so much fun viewing Christmas from a child's eyes. I'm trying to keep our days somewhat busy with projects to help pass the time for Olivia's sake. Nana is taking Olivia to see the Princess and the Frog at the Theatre tonight. It's almost Christmas Eve. We can't wait!
This was Mia most of our baking time. I can't believe she can sleep in that contraption, but I heard her snoring back there pretty loudly. She will be fun this Christmas too. She could care less what's in the packages, but she sure does love ribbon, wrapping paper, and tissue paper.
Today we stopped over to Nana Sharon and Papa Dave's house. Olivia was ecstatic to get a Snuggie! They are so good to all of us. Just like a second family. Their tree is enormous, but beautiful as always. Visiting their house always gets me in the spirit of Christmas.
Mia enjoyed hanging out with Papa Dave too. He has such a soft spot for the babies.
