Hi All! It's two days after Christmas, and I hope that everyone has had a chance to clean up, calm down, and enjoy their Christmas loot. Olivia got a Memory game from Santa, as well as her own digital camera. She's had it for two days, and already burned through the first set of batteries. The camera holds 500 pictures, and she's already taken 300. She is truly having a blast with that. Santa brought Mia some toys she could chew on and some books and pajamas. She doesn't seem to care just yet. Santa brought Tony some sports clothes (White Sox and Bears, of course) as well as some movies and Rock Band. We haven't pulled that out to play yet, but will do so by the New Year, I'm sure. Santa brought me an upsized diamond engagement ring. I also got a clock, a necklace and a cd.
We went to Laima and Jeff's to celebrate Christmas with Tony's side of the family. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, so there are no pictures from there. At Christmas, we do a grab bag with the rest of Tony's family. There is a stipulation that the gifts need to be made. Tony got a couple of bird houses from Pete - they are pink and white with the girls names on them and other little pictures and emblems. I got Adele's special blend of coffee and enjoyed my first cup this morning.
We hope that everyone had a great Christmas and enjoyed their day. Oh - and one other thing we got in Chicago - warm weather with rain that is causing a melt down and flooding. Thank goodness for warmer weather!
On Christmas Eve, while Mia slept...
...Tony and Olivia were busy outside.....
...building a snowman!
Frosty the Fire Chief Snowman. Yes, it seems a bit strange for a snowman to choose the occupation of Fire Chief. 
Olivia and the famous Fire Chief.
Christmas morning, opening gifts...
...Olivia got a digital camera....
....Tony got Rock Band....
...and Olivia got a pretty pink sweater that she decided to wear with Daddy's tie from the reception.
And finally, this is what happens about two hours after the presents are opened....
Merry Christmas to all!
I just love that last pic of Mia and Dada sleeping peacefully! Ok I finally just made like 3 posts. Please look at the ghost post and tell me what you think is going on with that!
