Warning: This is going to be a long one, folks.
We had a great holiday season here at Casa Perry! We started off the festivities on the 24th with Doug's moms big birthday bash. Since she's a Christmas Eve baby, we wanted to make sure that she still got an official birthday celebration in. So we had the Perry fam over for dinner and a (fabulous, if I do say so myself :) chocolate cake. Here's the pretty birthday girl...
Make a wish!
Our first Christmas morning with Olivia was so much fun! The holiday really does take on a whole new meaning with a little one in the house.
Attacking her first present. Pretty sure that she was more excited about the wrapping paper and ribbons than she was about any of the gifts.
Livvy's new favorite toy.
It's loud and obnoxious. The batteries will most likely eventually disappear from this sucker.
Ooooh... presents!!!
My parents and brother flew into town on Christmas afternoon. It meant so much to us to have both sets of grandparents and all of the aunts and uncles together for Olivia's first Christmas. In all of the chaos, we didn't even get a big group picture. So sad. This is pretty much what the night looked like.
Love this picture of miss O and her grandmas!
Carson and his cars (and his loyal subjects).
Because we didn't get any group shots on Christmas night (and I REALLY wanted pictures of Olivia with everyone), I subjected the whole gang to a photo session the next morning. Thanks for cooperating!
Four generations. How cool is that?
Perry grandparents.
Pearlstein fam.
Uncle Craig!
We spent the rest of the week relaxing, taking long walks, shopping, and even took a touristy trip out to Snoqualmie falls. It was such a great holiday, and we're looking forward to 2010. This has been such an amazing year, and we feel so incredibly blessed to have Olivia in our lives. Happy new year, everyone!
