Our Merry Christmas project!

We spent some time last weekend getting ready for our big surprise for Olivia! We colored some special ornaments just for her and hung them on her very own tree at the cemetery!
The kids had a blast doing this and it helped us all celebrate a little part of Christmas with Olivia.


The kids each made two ornaments...Brooklyn colored some presents and an angel,

while Jack colored an ornament and a snowman. Then...off to the cemetery to deliver our ornaments! Isn't Olivia's little tree just perfect?!?
I've been pretty surprised at how well we are all handling the holidays. I've been dreading it for months now. We are all remembering Olivia in our own little ways. Of course, she is unforgettable! We've been surrounded by family. We've received some amazing cards, gifts, and treats. We've attended or hosted 5 Christmases so far and still have a couple more stops to make tomorrow. It's been truly awesome.
So...a very Merry Christmas to everyone! We hope your Christmas is filled with many blessings!
