Getting ready for Christmas



Christmas seemed to sneak up on me this year.  I am still recovering from Thanksgiving and pow, it will now be Christmas in 3 days!  I finally mustered up the strength to take some photos of Olivia this morning so I can send out Christmas cards.  I was so busy I was sure that I would not send any out this year, but then I felt guilty.  I don't want the girls to be bummed in 5 years that I did not do a photo card for Olivia's first Christmas because I was too busy running after them. 

 
I knew that snapping Olivia's photo would be pretty simple.  She loves to smile and blow rasberries, unlike her older sister. 


She is also very curious crawling around the house.  I took this picture with my phone a week ago.  Olivia crawled up the steps and went straight for her Christmas gift.  She must have a 6th sense, there were many other gifts under the tree but she picked a good one. After the present incedint I packed up the gifts and send them home with grandma and grandpa.
Joe snapped this photo as few weeks ago.  I went out for the evening and Olivia pulled herself up in the crib all be herself that night.  I honestly think this was about a month ago.  She has mastered the skill now and is up on everything.  But she is wearing her "baby's first Christmas" sleeper here so the photo does fit with the Christmas theme.  Olivia looks so proud of herself.  
 
Last Saturday night we took the girls to Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo with my parents.  Audrey has fun looking at all of the Christmas lights and their cartooned themed displays.

Audrey was so excited to see Lilo & Stitch celebrating Christmas.


This is a rare sight where Audrey is smiling in a picture!  Here we were waiting in line to see Santa. Audrey was super excited to ask him for presents.  But when Joe asked her what type of presents she wanted she was stumped.  I am not sure if she know that presents can be toys!


All of the houses on the street are decorated on Candy Cane Lane.  It is so beautiful!

 
After we waited in line to see Santa, Audrey decided that she may not want to sit on his lap.  Hmmm, I was hoping that she would have changed her mind this year.  I think this photo is rather cute.  Olivia was taken with the jolly man in the white beard.  

Last year at the MOMS club breakfast Audrey was ready to fly out of Santa's arms.
