Christmas with Nana and Papa O

Yes, another Christmas post! This year I think we have set a record with the amount of Christmas gatherings we've had! Christmas evening we went over to Nana and Papa O's house for dinner.

These three goof balls were happy to get a chance to spend more time together! And after a much anticipated prime rib meal, we had more gifts to unwrap!

this was Kate's most wished for gift

love the bib!

 Owen got a little overwhelmed by Christmas so he went outside to have a little one on one time with Papa O!

much happier now :)

It was a full week of wonderful Christmas gatherings! We are so lucky to have such wonderful family!

Christmas Morning

Here are a few pics and a video clip from Christmas morning! As usual, the kids made out!

My beautiful children (except for Owen) actually had to be woken up - at 8:00!!

Kate got an ipod, Savannah got a CD player for her room, and Owen got a Cozy Coupe. The biggest surprise was the fish we got them. Check out this video:

 After gifts, my Dad came over to have breakfast and a little play time.

It was once again a wonderful Christmas morning at the Oliver house. Our family has been blessed with many special Christmas memories.

Christmas with Cousins

This year was a super fun Christmas simply because we saw all of our cousins!! Chase was down from South Carolina and then on Friday Aunt Renee, Uncle Ben, and Reese came into town. Friday evening we gathered at Aunt Vanessa and Uncle David's house to exchange gifts and play!

the girls

it still amazes me that over half that crowd is mine!

We were so excited to give Catherine gifts for her first Christmas!!!

What precious memories!

Savannah's First Trip to the Dentist :)

Well, this is technically her third trip to the dentist, but who
 is counting??? She had one of her front teeth busted loose last year and she had to see Dr Negron to get x-rays and such. But this was her first cleaning!!

I have been talking to her and encouraging her for about the last 6 months about this! She had some scary visits with her mouth and teeth last year and I was afraid she wouldn't allow them to check her teeth. But she was super excited about it. Kate got hers done first was after seeing that it didn't hurt, Savannah was all ready for her turn.

I just had to get photographic proof that she was a good girl!!! Go Savannah!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's House

On Thursday of last week we gathered at my Mom's house and had yet another Christmas celebration.

Mamaw and the girls worked on the ginger bread house

the finished product

Chase decided to sample the icing after a little encouragement from Aunt Breck :)

 After a nice meal we opened gifts! 

Kate got a pillow pet

Savannah got her much wished for cotton candy machine!!

 After all the excitement from the presents, so had to go look at Christmas lights! We went up to Leesburg walked through the lights.

It was yet another awesome celebration!!

Christmas At Papa T's

We were so excited when we found out that Jack and Carrie would be coming to Florida for a whole we this year! We decided to really live it up and basically celebrate Christmas all week!! :)

Wednesday evening we started at my Dad's house for dinner, gifts, and lights.

Hilarious!! We tried to get a nice photo of the kids, but the boys had other ideas :) After a nice meal, we opened up our presents.

 Owen got this cool ride on airplane! And the good news is, it is very solid so it might actually survive our house!

 Kate was thrilled to receive a pair of roller skates!

 And Savannah got a Zhu Zhu puppy that she has been asking for since Thanksgiving! Three happy kids!

 Then we were off to see the beautiful lights of Mt Dora.

It was a great evening together as family to celebrate Christmas!
