When I was pulling out Christmas decorations I found our Christmas card from last year….Last Christmas I was anticipating the arrival of our new baby….everything I wanted for Christmas was for her…I could hardly wait to see her sweet face and call her by name….Olivia…how I LOVE that name….This Christmas I am anticipating the one year mark of her death…I miss her….I still think of her often....we’ve had a great year in MANY, MANY other ways….I feel very blessed...we are HAPPY and have had a fun year....I am going to recap it over the next week....to get ready for the new year!
We are very excited to celebrate the birth of our Savior and the HOPE that He brings to us…how lucky are we that we KNOW we will see her again…this Christmas is just different for me…not so much about the receiving…this next year is dedicated to her….It is going to be a GREAT year…I can’t wait!

Hi Heather! I have been totally thinking of you this past month and it was so great to see you at Brenna's shower. You look beautiful. I love both Christmas cards. Unique, classic and wonderful. I LOVE the name Olivia, too. I almost named Payton that, actually. You are awesome and I can see why Brenna adores you so much! xo
