Christmas

We had a great Christmas! I was a little annoyed that I had to stay a extra week (Dec. 17-21) to watch Illianna while Steven tested and interviewed for Ogden City but it was nice.

The day finally arrived and I woke up every two hours. I will blame the baby instead of Christmas excitement. Finally at 9am I told Steven I wasn't sleeping anymore and that Illianna need to get up now. So he went down stairs to play Joy to the World (his family tradition) and I rubbed Illi's back till she groaned at me to go away. I told her Santa came. And she just looked at me and in her little voice said, "oh sa-sa" and got up. She then ran down stairs with grandma waiting and we had to direct her into living room.
I am mostly gonna write what everyone got so I remember. I am so eternally grateful for everything my family received.

We set up her baby doll in the stroller and she happily pushed it around. We then opened up Harlow gifts. We gave my mom a children's nativity set so Illianna, Gracie, Dutch and Oliver and who ever else joins the group can play with it without getting in trouble.

Steven got a shutter fly book of just him and Illianna that I made. He got four blu-rays that he bought on black Friday. I also got him the Lord of the Ring book and a lego police department set. My dad got him Ohio State: napkins, tissue box, notebook, shirt, pom-pom and poster.

Illianna got spoiled from her loving grandparents, and aunts, thank you everyone!!! She got tangled bowl and cup, tangled shirt and pants and a Minnie Mouse toy smoothy maker from pa-pa.
She got bath paints, coloring book, bingo game, chutes and ladders from my parents.
We got her a lion king puzzle, duplo set,  pixar book and the baby and stroller.
Loving aunts got her PJ's that she wears and her baby doll can wear, candy land, peanut butter, a necklace,

I got a mixing bowl set, boots, snake heels, deep fryer and of course we got so many wonderful things for Oliver. I am just so grateful for everyone who has so my family such kindness.

Merry Christmas!
