Christmas Pictures

 

Christmas this year was extra special for us.  Olivia is now at an age that she really understood what was going on and absolutely loved Santa.  It is amazing to see the spirit of Christmas through the eyes of a three year old.  I loved it and it really brought home to me how special it is to have traditions and to ensure we practice them as a family.

 

Santa was especially good to Olivia this year and she was overjoyed at the fact that he brought her so many "Pink" gifts.  {That was her No. 1 requirement on Santa's letter.  Everything had to be "Pink".}   When she got up and come downstairs she could hardly believe all of the presents underneath the Christmas Tree.  Only one little "issue"....she was a little surprised that they weren't all for her. LOL 

 

And our little monkey's first Christmas....he had no clue what was going on, but no to worry big sister Olivia helped him open all his gifts.

It was a beautiful day with many cherished memories!  I am thankful for all the amazing blessings GOD has given me.  I have a loving family, an amazing husband and of course two beautiful and healthy children who are the joy of my life. 

Merry Christmas

 

Its Officially Christmas Eve........................

 

Its officially Christmas Eve and Ryan and I finally finished wrapping our gifts.  I am actually feeling like the tree is naked since they are all hidden.  I don't really think that we can trust a very active and curious 3 year old with any presents.  She would definitely be like her "mother" and would try to open each and everyone of them to see if it was for her....shhhhhhhhhh don't tell my mother, but yes I confess that I used to do this when I was a kid.  Want a know the worst part?  I would than be a total brat and tell my brother everyone of his gifts.... YIKES, its a wonder he loves me. LOL

 

Tomorrow will be a very long day!  Olivia is super excited for Santa to come and I know that she will be a complete bundle of energy all day, and probably all night.  I am on my way to bed and hopefully will get a few hours of sleep before one of my cute and loving children wake up.

Christmas Tags

 

I have yet to wrap any of our presents, but I did manage to make these cute Christmas Tags last night!  I totally love these vintage pictures by Katie Pertiet and by adding just a little Martha Stewart Glitter and Ranger Stickles I just love they way they turned out.

 

 

And Special Tags from Santa....

 

 

Now all I have to do is wrap all my presents and then I can finally see them in action!

A Special Visit From Santa

 

I had promised pictures from our visit from Santa Claus a few weeks ago, but with the kiddies sick I haven't had a chance to update my blog.  Thankfully it seems that they are both on the mend and the sickness is finally ready to leave the Pusczko household!

 

Ryan's uncle dressed up as Santa and came into the house to visit all the little kids and let me just say that Olivia was beyond excited.  When he walked him he started asking if there was a special little girl by the name of Olivia in the house!  The look on her face was totally priceless!!!!  She was completely mesmerized and couldn't stop smiling.  Finally she didn't cry or scream upon seeing him!

{Warning:  Picture Overload}

 

Here is Santa walking in!

Olivia's first glimpse at Santa!

Look at that Smile! {Note: That is not Ryan in the picture, its his twin}

Here she is telling Santa what is on her Christmas List!  By the way she was being super shy and whispering and all that poor Santa heard was the color "Pink".  Does that surprise anyone??? LOL

Tyler turn...look at that sweet face!

My nephew wasn't really too thrilled with Santa.  This is the only picture of him not crying and trying to get away.

And lets not forget the Pusczko boys!  They couldn't wait to sit on Santa's lap!  They may be 33, but like they say...they still "Believe".

Thank you Santa for the special visit! Can't wait to see on the 25th!

The things you say...

Last night we were driving to my brother's house to have cake for my nieces birthday, when Olivia decided to tell us some jokes! Here is our the convo went!

Liv: Daddy, what is really big, gray and has a very long trunk?
Daddy: An elephant
Liv: Good job daddy, Good job!

Liv: What is really big, green and doesn't ever move?
Mommy: A tree
Liv: Good job mommy, Good Job!


Now this one had us totally puzzled!

Liv: What is always laying down and never moves?
Mommy: I don't know.
Daddy: Me either.
Liv: You guys are silly...its a carpet!

We laughted so hard that I swear I had tears. She is such a smart little girl, and I am always amazed at the things she comes up with.

PS. Pictures of Santa's special visit to come later tonight!
