Christmas Day

Today we have had a nice Christmas at home! Santa came last night which, as you might imagine, was pretty exciting. He brought Olive a pretty pink kitchenette and we have been busy playing with it all day. She got lots of "kitchenette accessories" such as food and pots and pans from the various Grandmas and Grandpas, so that was quite convenient! We have also been having lots of tea parties with Minnie Mouse since she is the perfect size for Olive. In fact, I just heard Olive tell Will that "Mouse" needed to get on her tricycle for a ride around the house.

Hope everyone out there had a wonderful day! We miss you all and Merry Christmas!

Party Time!

One of the great things about living in a small place where most people are away from their families on holidays is that there are friends that are available for a Birthday party on Christmas Eve! We had our friends Betsy, Brian, and their girls Kylie, Meghan, and Matty plus our other friend, Robin, come over to help us celebrate Olive turning 2. It was a very nice morning and Olive had fun playing with the girls and opening gifts. We played with her new toys and participated in a rousing version of "ring around the Rosie." Happy Birthday, Olive!

Happy Birthday Olive!

It's hard to believe another year has gone by and our Little O is two. A lot has happened in the last year including a move to the Grand Canyon, Olive going from barely walking to running around the house, hardly talking to reciting the alphabet and singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" and finally getting some hair on that cute little head of hers.

As we did last year we decided to do a pictorial year in review. None of these pictures made the blog so they are all new. Please enjoy.

And Happy Birthday sweet little girl, we love you so much. You have made the past year such an adventure and we can't wait to see what you do next...
