Just Hanging Out!

Things have finally gotten back to normal since Christmas. Olivia had her first ear infection which was no fun. She also went to her first birthday party at McDonald's. She loved her first happy meal and playing on the slide. She is starting to walk and cruise around everywhere, she loves to sneak into the bathroom and get the toilet tissue. She turned 11 months old on the 17th. We can't believe she is almost a year old. My how time flies!! She is jabbering all the time and looks at you like you should know exactly what she is saying. Everyday is an adventure and we never know what trick she will learn next.

"If I'm quiet, maybe mom won't catch me!!"

Making a mess as usual.

Happy New Year!

We started the New Year off with friends. We went over to Chrissy and Justin's to shoot fireworks, eat and hang out. Olivia and her best friend Addi rang in the New Year. Addi slept through New Years but Olivia was awake to watch the ball drop. She is a night owl like her dad. We hope this year is filled with fun times with family and friends!

Chrissy, Jake, Erin, Addison, Olivia and me watching the fireworks!

Olivia tackling Addi after Addi pulled Olivia's hair. What fun times ahead!

Double Trouble!

I think they are both saying...Would you crazy mommies stop taking our pictures!!

Christmas Recap

We had a extremely busy Christmas going from place to place. We are so blessed to have lots of family and friends to spend the holidays with. The great part is we never had to leave Seneca. Olivia's first Christmas was so exciting. She loved tearing the paper and playing with the bows. Of course she got way to much stuff and now we need a bigger house!
