Olivia's First Birthday!

I can't believe that our baby has turned One!  Time flies by way too fast!  She is changing so much.  I love her more and more everyday!

Her birthday celebration with family and friends was FANTASTIC!

Here is the BIRTHDAY GIRL!  Gotta love those pigtails!

She enjoyed opening a few of her presents.  Most of them I had to open because she was too busy checking everything out.

She loved being pushed around by her Aunt Andrea on her Lightning McQueen that her Mommy and Daddy got her.  She LOVES pushing all the noise making buttons.  I don't think they make any toys anymore that don't have some kind of sound.

Here she is getting ready to dive into her barbie doll cake that her Grandma (Rob's Mom) made for her special day.  She stared at it for a long time before she would touch it,
but once she did watch out!

She had cake EVERYWHERE!

 The day was ABSOLUTELY perfect in everyway!  We are blessed in so many ways to have our princess with us.  God is good!

Olivia's First Birthday Present!

Yesterday, Olivia received her first birthday present for her 1st Birthday!  

She enjoyed opening the package from 

Aunt Neala, Uncle Dave, Alex and Aubrey.

Olivia loved opening the present!
She also LOVED the stickers that her cousins Alex and Aubrey put on the box!
Thank you Alex and Aubrey!

Olivia had to play with the paper a little bit before finishing opening the gift.

The plate that Aunt Neala, Uncle Dave, Alex and Aubrey bought for Olivia is BEAUTIFUL!
She will enjoy eating her birthday cake on it this year and MANY years to come.

THANK YOU ALL! - Love, Olivia

Olivia's First Christmas!

Olivia's First Christmas turned out FANTASTIC!  

She loved ALL her gifts!  She was definitely spoiled.  

She must have been on Santa's "Nice List" this year.

Olivia had toys EVERYWHERE!
So did Kadie (our dog)...You will notice the poor monkey in the lower right of the picture.  That would be Kadie's toy from Aunt Andrea.  Kadie is pretty rough with her toys and broke poor monkey's leg off within the first hour of playing with it.

Olivia playing with her Nativity Set from her Auntie Andrea.

After opening all her presents, Olivia was wore out...

...and Kadie was tuckered right out too!

For 6 hours we played Sequence.  Olivia had to join in too.

Andrea and I played too!  Of course we HAD to take a cheesy self portrait!
We hope Andrea comes to spend Christmas with us next year too!

Christmas with Family!

Christmas this year with my family was very nice.  It was nice to have all the cousins together for Olivia's first Christmas!

Grammie (Kendra's Mom) made these adorable owl hats for the kids.
They loved them and Olivia wears her's everyday!

Here is Aubrey, Olivia and Alex all with their Scentsy Buddies
that they got for Christmas from Rob and I.

At my Mom's side of the family Christmas the
rest of the cousins joined in in entertaining Olivia.

The two baby cousins got to meet each other for the first time!

Andrea and Rob being TOTAL goofballs!

Greenfield Village

In December we met up with my sisters and their families at Greenfield Villages Holiday Lights.  We had a really good time.  Thank goodness the rain held off.  It was quite cold out but we managed to survive.
