Make a Smilebox slideshow

What a Christmas!!! What a difference a little child can make. Going to Christmas Eve mass to opening presents Christmas Day. We had so much fun!! Olivia didn't know what hit her. She had so much fun Christmas Eve opening ornaments. She would have been content with just that. But boy did she get the shock of her life when Christmas Day came and Santa left her a whole bunch of gifts. Then the presents sent by Auntie Irene and Oma and then we were off to Grandma and Pa-Pa's house. Oh boy toys and clothes oh my!!!! Then came Auntie Cindy and Uncle Shanes gift a jeep yes a jeep. With a working radio. She loved the radio. Auntie Cindy and Auntie Heather had to help her but she loved it. It was such a great Christmas just being around our family and our little girl it will be a Christmas I won't forget. Thanks to all our family for giving her everything and even more!!!!

Santa Ho Ho Ho

She did it. Olivia saw Santa and at first she was a little shy. Olivia kept watching Santa and finally took a fruit snack from him. She didnt sit on his lap. But then either did I when I was little. She had a really good time yesterday

Who is the new President?

Daddy's little helper.

Today we put the Christmas lights on outside because tomorrow we are suppose to get 5 inchs of snow. I am so excited to get snow and see how Oliva reacts to it. I hope it snows in time so that we can play in it. Last snow fall was a Monday morning and there wasn't enough time and Olivia wouldn't go outside the garage to walk in it. So here are a few poses of her and daddy by the Christmas lights.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a lot different then in years passed. My sister and bother-in-law now known as the infamous Auntie Cindy and Uncle Shane had Thanksgiving this year. Boy did we have a lot to be thankful for this year. It was really weird for the very first time we had a little one to share our Thanksgiving and boy she had a great time. Olivia loves to be around her family. She just loves and adores her Uncle Shane and Auntie Cindy, her Papa and Gandma, her Arie(which is Marie) Mike, Header (Heather) and Don (Jon). In just 5 short months she tells them all she loves them and gives them all kisses and hugs. I am so proud of her. When we first came home and she wouldn't go by anyone I was a little nervous but to see her interact with her family I just love and I know they just love and adore her. So here are some pics from her first Thanksgiving. There is also a picture in there of her turkey hat and being a indian from when she was at Arie's.

Halloween a little late

Here are a few Halloween pics

Well we are a little behind in posting, but first I want you to see the comparison of when we first seen Olivia until now. Which has been almost 5 months. Look at her hair. We just got her hair cut yesterday but boy has it grown since she has been home.
