Merry Christmas!

We hope you all had as wonderful of Christmas as we did.
The Lunt's got together Christmas Eve for a yummy dinner, FHE and (of course) gift exchange. It was lots of fun at Jason and Diana's new home and it seemed that everyone had a great time.
For Christmas day we relaxed around the house. We did attend church though:) We all made out like bandits as usual.
Olivia had a great time and we now have an apartment FULL of toys (truly, they are in nearly every room now).
We took video of Christmas Eve and also of Christmas Day. Here is the link to it all!

They had a photographer take pictures at the Ward Christmas party and so we got this today at church.

Olivia got all snazzled up in her red sparkly shoes and green tie shirt for the Lunt Christmas party.

Olivia is trying to steal Braden's Christmas present from Madison.

Kirk all dressed by Madison.

Now Vicki has been dressed up by Madison. Olivia was enjoying Hannah's Christmas present while she's all dressed up as a princess.

Merry Christmas Jason.

Some good shots of Kirk (Papa), Olivia and baby Hannah.

So precious.

Olivia loves holding Hannah.

Olivia playing with her toys on Christmas morning. I got this shot because it shows...like father, like daughter. They are both on their laptops.

Combing her new baby's hair.

Playing Crocodile dentist.

She also got new playdoe

Aaron playing with the new software/GPS.

Olivia loved her very own chapstick and gift from Shad and Amy...her favorite is singing along the ABC song with it.

She has seen Daddy work on his computer from the couch too many times.

Thank you Laura for the teddy bear.

Bear hug.

When we got home from church, I was really craving a good Christmas home cooked meal, but in absolutely no mood to make one. But, thanks to Villaroel (a Venezuelan sister in our ward), we got the best Christmas dinner ever. She brought by a traditional Venezuelan dinner. It was definitely made with love because she even excluded the 'traditional' ingredients that made Aaron never care for it much on his mission. It was so yummy and I was excited to be eating something that Aaron always had on his mission during Christmas time. By the way...the things that we ate are called Hallacas. Such a great Christmas present to me...not having to make dinner:)

Thank you to everyone this Christmas. We are truly blessed to have family and friends like you all. We love you!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I had forgotten to write about Olivia's doctor's appointment a couple of weeks ago. We had an appointment with her pediatric orthopedic surgeon (such a mouth full) earlier this month and Olivia had more xrays taken. We are so blessed! Olivia's hips are continuing to develop in the right direction. They still aren't great, but any direction that steers us away from Olivia needing surgery on her hips is just great!
I also had my checkup this week and it looks as though I am eight weeks along. A little further than I had originally thought. I really feel like I am even starting to see a pooch. It might just be from me eating so much though to keep from getting nauseated.
Here are pictures from the week!

Olivia enjoyed helping Shellee unwrap her big gift.

She got pretty good at ripping the paper.

We now have a Kinko's right in Shellee's room:)

Olivia enjoys (pretending) to clip her toe nails.

Such cute toesies.

Olivia sitting on Santa's lap at the ward Christmas party. She didn't even fuss!

Olivia now wants to open all the presents under the tree. She did get to open her present from Shellee before Shellee left for Utah though.

Olivia sporting her new sequin purse from Shellee.

And red glitter (Dorothy) shoes!

Making the frosting for our sugar cookies.

Such a big girl with her apron on.

Looks like she caught a lick while I wasn't looking (Daddy clearly saw it though.)

Licking her first beater.

Thoroughly enjoying herself.

This is now my desktop!

Growing family

This is another odds and ends blog posting. Just downloaded the few pictures that I had on my camera onto the computer and thought that since it had been awhile, I would go ahead and update the blog.

Her diaper really wasn't that full, but we're trying to steer (?sp) away from the onesie shirts with potty training coming up and so Olivia's diapers sure do sag a lot more. Also, I will go ahead and apologize to Olivia for this picture because someday she might care that I shared it with everyone:)

All bundled up with no where to go.

Olivia is sporting Shellee's winter treasure that she just found.

My dad took this picture of my parent's house just after they received a bit of snow. Why couldn't it have done that (in the valley) while we were there? ps Love the lights.

A great shot of Timp from my parent's house after it got some snow too.

Okay, did anyone notice that the title of this blog doesn't really fit...yet?

For those of you who don't know...Aaron and I are planning for a growing family. Yes, that means we are expecting again. I am not that far along...probably only five weeks or so. I will go to the doctor next week, but guessing I'm due around the first week of August. We hope that we will be settled into Cincinnati by then. We probably would have waited until I was further along to tell everyone, but I got asked point blank the other day and I hate to lie. I then figured that there isn't much point in waiting to tell everyone. So you can thank Diana and Cheril for that one:)

One more thing: Thank you if you left a comment on my blog. I got a few on my last posting (from Thanksgiving) and I love reading them. Thanks!
