Winding down from the Holidays...

Here are Suzanne and Olivia in front of the tree Christmas morning. Olivia has on the great Christmas sleeper (or 'baby-grow' as they call it over here) with matching bracelet and hat sent by Grandma and grandpa Steffens. Olivia is really starting to spend time looking at and studying our faces- and we occasonally get actual smiles!

The Grandparents and Aunt Beth headed back to London yesterday, amid a flurry of snow; there was more snow on the ground this morning as well. It was a great visit but there was much too-ing and fro-ing so it's nice to just have an early night, sleep in, and relax at home (which we're doing to the fullest today- it's hard enough to just write in the blog!)


Olivia in her Christmas outfit, with her Christmas snowman (another gift from the Steffens Grandparents)- how cute can a little girl get?

Here you can see that Olivia really does understand that she's got a good thing going! (and so do we, for that matter!)

We even got time for the elusive afternoon nap today- a great day all around!

These are only the barest sampling of the pictures we've been taking over the holidays, so Suzanne is going to post a bunch more over at our photo hosting page, at www.flickr.com/photos/hawley. Cruise on over there and check them out!
