This year we spent Christmas Eve at Ama's house with the Elgan side of the family. We'd greatly been looking forward to the evening, and it turned out to be a memorable, cozy celebration!
I couldn't pass up sharing this photo of Olivia (sans her famous pigtails)! She has began loving to say "Cheese!" lately (with that adorable, crooked little smile of hers) whenever she sees someone take out a camera!
What a smart cookie... she remembered from the last visit to Ama's house where there was a stash of chocolate!
After discovering (and consuming!) a Twix, she was off to the playroom!
Finally, during a holiday gathering, we thought to take one of all three of us together!
Daniel, Olivia, Hailey, and Taylor with Uncle Greg, creating the most lovely gingerbread cookies ever! What a great holiday tradition to repeat year after year! Uncle Greg takes all the credit on this one!
Little Miss O, with Ama's carefully selected "Monterey" pine!
Olivia simply adores all of her cousins... here she is with two of her girlie girl cousins, all smiles!
After dinner, we opened presents...
and got to enjoy what was, just moments before, hidden inside the wrapping paper commemorating the season!
Finally, our most wonderful gift changed into her pjs for the ride home; we had to hurry, for Santa was on his way!
