| "I'm as big as my stocking!" |
Olivia was ready for Christmas... and her 3 month birthday! And so, on December 17th we packed up the car and headed out for part one of Olivia's first Christmas. This chapter: the Gemignanis! We were graciously hosted by Rebecca, Scott, Megan and Miles at their home in East Middlebury, VT. Saturday was filled with playing and visiting, a nice dinner with Uncle Jon and finally the much anticipated arrival of Chris, Zoe, Zachary and Noa, who finally arrived at 9pm after a very long drive up from Reston, VA.
Sunday was "Christmas Morning" - so we headed up to Lincoln first thing in the morning for a wrapping-paper-ripping extravaganza! The living room was much like the aftermath of a hurricane - however, some of us, namely Olivia, had no problem sleeping through the entire event. Still asleep in her car seat from the drive over, that little girl just snoozed while her cousins tore into their presents like ravenous beasts! After the presents we had a nice breakfast followed by an afternoon of sledding, snuggling by the fire and playing. At around 4pm we topped off the weekend with a Christmas feast before heading back to Providence.
