I have lots to post, but getting back into the swing of things takes longer than it should. So, I'll be quick and I'll write a couple of the highlights:
Flying into Louisville after an ice storm, stuffing ourselves into Brandon's Hyundai, and then trekking up an ice-covered hill to get into Mom and Dad's house.
Seeing Olivia's cousin Bella for the first time! She's two months younger than Olivia and so cute!!
Visiting with Grandma and Grandpop. It was wonderful to not have to work at night, to visit during the day, and go to bed soon after Olivia at night.
Visiting with Mutti and all her family.
Visiting with Grandpa Bill & Tamara.
Learning to make lefsa and rosettes with Grandma Clara.
Playing with Stephanie, Abby, and Craig on the ice covered creek.
Talking and visiting with Erin and Thurgood.
Spending time with my family, especially my siblings and parents, who I miss so much.
Seeing Juliet, Tony, John, and Christopher at Chuck-e-Cheese.
Having coffee with Stacey the day after Christmas.
Eating too much at Aunt Vicky's yearly Stemm Christmas dinner.
Eating even more at my parents'Christmas Eve dinner.
Olivia getting tooth number 3 (Dec. 17), tooth number 4 (Dec. 27), and seeing tooth number 5.
Seeing Olivia enjoy her first Christmas...even if she wasn't really sure what she was enjoying.
And here are a couple of videos of Olivia back at home, sweet home:
It was a sheer delight to see you my dear! I am glad you had such a wonderful and fun-filled time. I adore that pic of Olivia in her bloomers with the small Christmas tree...SO CUTE!
