Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Our dear, sweet son has been a mess the last few days as he has a bad cold. Nonetheless, we have tried our hardest to still enjoy the season. Bob had Christmas Eve off and we planned to go to a candlelight service at a nearby church to celebrate (our church doesn't have one). Unfortunately, as I said earlier, Ollie is sick & I didn't think the church would appreciate him coughing and snotting everything so we stayed home. It was still a nice evening. We had a ham dinner and opened gifts from one another. I made Bob a leather guitar strap and he created a passport that was really a day out for a haircut, manicure and cheesecake along with dinner he's made! Yay! We gave Ollie his rody, which he adored in the store but of course, the first time he got on it, it toppled over and off he fell. He hasn't wanted to ride him since:-(

Bob built Ollie a train table for the train set my parents sent him for Christmas. After, Ollie went to bed, we spent time together painting. For those of you who don't really know us well, we are polar opposites. I'm a bit of a willy nilly however it turns out works and Bob's a bit of a control freak. We had a little holiday arguing! LOL

The next morning, we were super excited for him to see the train set and table. Here was his reaction.

As you can see, his initial reaction wasn't as we , however, as the day went on he started to really enjoy it. He also got some other cool stuff from his other grandparents. His favorites included a baby laptop from his Nana and Papa & a farm set from his Grandpa and Grandma Gray. After Ollie's afternoon nap we headed to our friend's, Julianne and Andy, house for dinner. We enjoyed a pesto pasta and a peppermint cheesecake. It was a lot of fun!

Merry Christmas to all! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. Don't forget the true reason for the season. God sent his one and only son because he loves you!
