Happy St Nick Grant! Grant got a broom and snacks from St Nick. A broom is one of his favorite things! St Nick has been watching! :)

Cookie Day with the Schmidt Girls! It is tradition to bake cookies! Olivia was a great helper this year! Her favorite cookie was the peanut butter with hersey kisses. She is a choclate girl!

Olivia and I take a break from cookies!















The last thing to do is decorate-Olivia's favorite part! Her and Na Na did a great job!












Decorating fun!

We cut down our own tree again. This time in New London with Eric, Ang, and Maddox. Daddy and Grant scoped out the perfect tree!












Aunt Ang and the kids! Great pic!















Maddox brought his sled, and took Olivia and Grant for a ride! What fun!

Olivia's cheeks were cold! :)








After we cut down the tree, we visited Santa! Grant did really well, Olivia was scared again this year. However, she can't wait for him to bring her presents!











Grant saw Santa one more time! This time he was at the mall! Olivia did not run as soon as she saw Santa's display-she did walk backwards for a bit-however, this was progress from last year! :)









This is a perfect pic discribing Grant-one sock off, food all over his face, his belly is full, feet are up-and not a care in the world!

Olivai loves to help Dad with the lights!

Olivia put up the star this year! She did a great job!

Olivia telling me "...just 2 minutes mom!" Goodness!

Great Christmas pic!

Olivia is always ready to pose!

Breiana came to visit a week during her winter break! We loved having her here and miss her dearly! She was a great help and we all enjoyed her company!

Olivia and Breiana took a class at the Appleton Art Center on how to make Gingerbread! They looked great!

Christmas Eve at Na Na and Pa Pa's house. Aunt Kristi gave Olivia a pink guitar and a picture frame. Olivia LOVES them both! Thank you Aunt Kristi!

Christmas morning at home!

Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa's house! Aunt Ang and Grant!

Uncle Eric and Olivia. She got a digitial camera and book from Uncle Eric! She LOVES them both! Good picks!

Olivia an Grandma! Perfect pic!

Our family!

As I mentioned she is a choclate girl!

Olivia and Grant playing at home the day after Christmas! Grant got the 4 wheeler from Santa and the digger from Aunt Ang. He loves them both. However, Olivia rides the 4 wheeler around the house constantly! Thank you Aunt Ang and Santa!

Olivia and Grant! Too cute!

We went on a tour at Pick n Save. Olivia did a good job Mooing when someone opened up the door to get a milk. She drank choclate milk afterwards! It was great fun!
