Mo's Merry Christmas

Brad and I were very excited to have our first Christmas with little Livie. Other than wanting to pull the tree down, she has been a very good girl this year. We knew she was sure to make Santa's "Nice" list.

Not my favorite gift, but a very cute onesie from aunt Ashwee...

Livie helping daddy put together a gift from Hammy Shan...

...and taking it for a test drive. You can tell she likes her first car~

Daddy and Livie taking a stroll around Temple Square to see the lights. She was such a trooper--the cold didn't seem to bother her at all.

Livie on Christmas morning. She didn't quite know what to think of all the gifts-

One of her favorite toys was her set of Dora Matchbox cars...not bad for just a couple bucks!

Livie modeling her cute, little hat from her cousins Sydney, Stockton, Sami and Hadyn...while still playing with her cars of course.

Livie trying out our new lobster pot from uncle Bret--a necessity for Mainers! All that's missing from this picture is her Lobster costume!

Livie's favorite doggies, Sunny and Guya, stopped by to wish her a Merry Christmas!

Livie showing mommy how her new toy from uncle Matt and aunt Laurie works-

Mommy and daddy's favorite toy for Livie is her new DVD player. It's sure to be a lifesaver on the long flights to and from Maine! Admittedly...it's a little self-serving.

Livie wondering where the rest of her toys are. She was really starting to like the whole new-toy thing she had going on. Fortunately, her first birthday is coming up in just a few weeks...

Brad and I are so grateful for our happy, healthly, little Olivia. She has brought so much joy to our lives this past year. We are also very grateful for all the love and support we constantly receive from our family and friends. But most of all, we are grateful for our Savior who's birth and life we celebrate this time of year. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
