We started the day by going to see The Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater. To get to the theater, you take a steep elevator to the fourth floor.
Once you get there, you can walk to an area that leads to an overlook of the Mississippi River and the Stone Arch Bridge.
It was a beautiful day - warm enough that we didn't have to wear jackets.
For dinner, we had food from the Chinese restaurant.
It was nice to eat at home in a more relaxing and quiet setting.
After dinner, Olivia opened presents.
There is one for each year that she has been a part of our family. All were surprises this year with the exception of the hat that she picked out at Gammelgarden Museum. It's a warm fleece hat with a pretty trim that is perfect for cold, winter days.
There's a quote on Pinterest that I saw that I liked. I've adapted it to fit Olivia and Sophia:
We have made two people sisters.
Two people will share a childhood because of us.
We have given two people a gift that no one else could: each other.
