Before we left Arizona, John was able to give Olive a beautiful priesthood blessing. It was such a nice blessing, and she looked so beautiful. The dress that I was blessed in, Olive was able to wear, so it was special for me.
My sister and I with our babies. Her 4th baby boy was blessed with Olive, it was nice to make it into a family event. Her boy Alex, was born a week before Olive.On Christmas Eve, we had an enjoyable evening in front of the tree with our little family. We read Luke 2, and just talked about the true meaning of Christmas with our kids. Starting these little traditions gets me excited for many more Christmas' to come. Jude was excited for Christmas this year, so I know each year Christmas will be more and more fun!
Here is our little princess. She is getting so big!
And of course, Jude, who could not sit still for one minute!
Our little kiddos on Christmas Eve. . . Then Christmas Morning arrives.
We spent hours playing and playing with all of the new toys.

And when Olive was not sleeping, she was playing too!
Merry Christmas Everyone!This past week we took Olive swimming for the first time. Jude loves to swim at the indoor pool at the YMCA, so we did a little family swim date. Olive loved it. She was just so relaxed, and enjoyed the water.
My attempt at a family picture :)
And a very happy new year too!We had a few friends over for some late night games, and food.
We had a blast!
