Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas! The Olson's sure did! Our Holiday started off with celebrating Brandon's birthday on December 24th. I figured he never really gets to relax on his Birthday so I started the day off by taking him to get a massage! (Thanks Mame for watching Easton for us!!) Then we came back home and just relaxed for a couple of hours while Easton took his nap! Then we headed to The Cheesecake Factory and met up with his family for some lunch. I ordered their Fried Mac and Cheese which I thinking is one of my favorite things to eat now! We ordered us some cheesecake of course and then Brandon survived them singing Happy Birthday to him! :)

Then Christmas eve Traditions began. We headed to Brandon's uncle's house for a family party and exchanged gifts. Then we headed to my parents to open our Pj's (Thanks mom)! Brandon and I then got to experience the joys of being a parent and we put together Easton's gift from Santa so he could see it in the morning.

Christmas morning Easton enjoyed playing with his toy from Santa and then liked opening his presents from Dad and Mom so much that he decided to help Brandon and I open ours! Brandon was not supposed to get me anything for Christmas per my request. We recently invested in a camera and computer for my business so I told him that was all I needed. However he decided to get me a couple of presents anyway. Thanks Honey!!

After all our presents were done we began our day. We have 6 houses to go to on Christmas so it gets a little crazy. We made it to all the houses and Easton was able to take a couple of small naps in the car. This was really the first day that we did not actually lay Easton down for his naps. (I am pretty sure that we will never do that again) He was so clingy to me, he refused to go to grandparents or even Brandon. He simply only wanted Mom. But it was good for him to learn how to sleep in the car a little. Overall we had a very nice Christmas, we hope to make things a little less crazy next year.

Here are a few pictures from the holidays and past few days. Enjoy and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love, The Olson's
