Christmas-time with a child is such fun! Every morning while the tree was up Olivia walked out into the living room and would gasp, ooh, and ahh at the beauty of the tree. We told her that she was not allowed to touch it and for the most part she followed this rule. As far as I know, she only touched 3 times. Pretty good for a 17month old.
Christmas Eve we went to church with my parents, came home and ate tamales and homemade pinto beans. Afterward we opened a few presents. Olivia loved all of them. She flew her planes around the house until bedtime. Then on Christmas morning we got to play with all they toys that Santa brought. Olivia just loved it! Her face lit up and she ran straight to the tree to play with the toys. She seemed excited about each gift.
In order to make room for all of her toys we cleaned out the office and have made it into a play room.
