We did Christmas Eve/Christmas a little different this year. We decided to spend both at our house just us 3, and then went to Jer's parents house for just our immediate family (Jer's parents and siblings) christmas.
At first we felt a little selfish, but we had no regrets. It was nice not having to spend the holidays in the car and not have to share Olivia! :)
CHRISTMAS EVE
We spent the day in comfy clothes. Jer made us a big yummy breakfast and we napped and literally did NOTHING!
We went to Panera for lunch and then went to the grocery store for some last minute things for dinner!
While we cooked dinner Olivia played with her new toy from my dad. It is a cute little kitchen set, Olivia LOVES it!!
We had shrimp cocktail for an app, the shrimp were HUGE!
Then Prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole for dinner!
(I like mine a LITTLE well done! ;) Jer sears mine!)
After dinner, we let Olivia open one gift. She of course loved it! She opened the Elmo that sneezes!
After Olivia went to bed I became a wrapping slave Elf!
CHRISTMAS DAY
Christmas Day we had one VERY happy little girl!
She RIPPED though her presents and then we got ready and went to church. Olivia did pretty well. We did (I) took her in the hallway a couple times but it was because she was a WIGGLE WORM! She made friends with a little boy and she was being SO SO cute! I love seeing her interact with other kids!
The rest of the day we hung out around the house, ate left over prime rib and then packed to head home.
On the way down we had dinner at Zehnders in Frankenmuth and it was seriously SO good!! I loved all of the holiday decor, the atmosphere and of COURSE the food!!!!
