Alas, here are the Christmas pictures in no particular order. We spent our days bouncing back and forth between the grandparents houses in an attempt to satisfy everyone's busy schedules. Christmas Day was spent at the Collins' while December 26th was the Rankin's Christmas day due to Papa's work schedule. We met baby Lydia, our new niece on the Collins' side, and Olivia enjoyed attempting to poke her in the eye was well as give Lydia her pacifier. Olivia and I got sick towards the end of our stay telling us it was time to go. She did a great job on the long 14 hr drive home (and the same drive up North). Oh, and the cats came with us, so they enjoyed the drive snuggled down in their beds.

Wow, she's looking so grown up. I can't believe she sat on Santa's lap, Cooper freaked! I love the Christmas pics.

Too cute! Love the pictures!

Nick and I know all too well how difficult and busy it is to satisfy everyone's needs during Christmas time...its exhausting!

And I cannot believe how much Ryan looks like his dad!
