Although, it was not a white Christmas, the Oliver Family was blessed with an abundance of love...and gifts!! Christmas Eve was spent with my Aunt, my Uncle and my Grandma. We went to church, then ate dinner at a wonderful little tavern (complete with a chocolate fountain) and then it was back to their house for presents. Boy, did my two girls get spoiled!!!! I guess that is what Aunts, Uncles and Grandma's do! They were so happy when they saw all their treasures. Both little elves fell asleep on the drive home, you know what hard work opening a sack full of presents is.
On Christmas morning, they were up bright and early and Santa Claus did not disappoint! Stockings full of treats and all their Christmas wishes come true! A Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, two dolls, a metal detector and a collection of books! Even Jasmine, our cat, received a new bed! Then the big guy made a special trip back to 730 Hampton Ridge Drive, he found two undelivered packages at the bottom of his sack when he finished his rounds. Peyton was so happy to see him. It is always nice to be able to deliver a thank you in person!
We spent Christmas night with my Dad, my brother, Joe, and his wife, Kelly. A great way to wind down the festivities - a quiet night with loved ones. Peyton seems to have had too much Noel - she has a bit of a fever this morning. So,....nothing but a little cleaning, cooking and napping today. We have to gain back our strength to celebrate the New Year!!!!
