With three weeks to go until Christmas we decided to get a jump start on the tree and decorations! Saturday morning Olivia was wide awake again and was not in the mood to be put down, so in between holding and feeding her, Dan and I began to decorate some of our house! We were able to get all of the decorations down from the attic and put some of the decorations around the house before it was time to head out to cut down our tree!
We traveled with my parents, sister Bethany, Tyler, and Greatest to a tree farm in Carol County. When we arrived Olivia was not happy and we realized it was time to eat...again! So in the back seat I gave her a bottle and Dan changed her diaper! It must have been an interesting site to see, but I am sure it will not be the first time she eats in different places! Then we put her in the baby Bjorn and set out to find the perfect tree!
When Dan and I finally choose our tree my Mom wanted to take a picture of Olivia because she looked oh so cute as snuggle up close to me! As we were occupied with the photo opt Dan was cutting though the trunk of our chosen tree. Next thing we know Dan is on the ground calling for help! When we looked the tree had fallen over and pinned him to the ground! It was pretty funny and I decieded to take a picture instead of helping:
Do not worry though he just had some mud on his knee! He survived and it makes a funny story! Here is the photo that my mom was taking while Dan was cutting. I personally think it is quite adorable:
The tree was perfect and after some struggle to get it home it is not set up and looking awesome! Next step is to decorate it!
On Sunday Dan's parents arrived to give us a helping hand! We had tickets to attend the Ravens Sunday Night Game so Gram and Grandpa we asked them to babysit Olivia. Jean and Lee were an excellent help to us on Sunday because we were able to finish decorating the house, set up and put lights on the Christmas tree, and I was able to take a nap! Jean also made us a tasty dinner, with leftovers, and Lee fixed our outdoor strand of lights! We had quite the productive day and so much fun that night!
Olivia was well behaved from what we hear and spend most of the evening being snuggled and held by her Gram! It was strange to be out of the house without Olivia, but I know Dan and I appreciated the time together!
The Ravens Game did go into overtime and we arrived home just in time for Olivia to be fed again! It was a great night! Thanks Gram and Grandpa Puryear!
Hope you all are having a great Holiday Season! This Friday starts the Holiday party time!
Love
Laura, Dan, and Olivia!
