Christmas

This year we celebrated Christmas eve at My sister's house. There were so many gifts all over the place and tons of yummy food. Jesse had to work so his presence was truly missed. Olivia was the star of the show, as usual, and everytime she received a new piece of clothing she would rip off whatever she had on to try the new item on. It was hilarious. I can't wait to see the pictures Dixie took. Merry Christmas to all

P.S. My Santa came through with a new camera and a 42 inch flat screen plasma! YAY SANTA!

Abi's Birthday

As many of you know, Olivia calls my dad Abi, and last Sunday (the 14th) was his birthday. He has a close friend who shares his birthday and this year that friend turned 60 so the party was at his house. Olivia and I went to celebrate and we had a great time. Happy Birthday to the best grandpa ever!

Santa-Please bring me a camera!

So-I know that I have not posted anything in a while, but I have an excuse. My camera broke, the screen is all messed up. Jesse claims that I can still take pictures with it, but what good is a digital camera if I can't delete and retake again as many times as I want to? Anyway-it is on my Santa wish list, and my Santa always comes through! Just a few updates: Thanksgiving was great! We ate dinner here with my family and then made the four hour drive to Jesse's dad's in the Mansfiled/Arlington area that same night. We spent the rest of the weekend there and Olivia had a blast with all of them. Next, Olivia got a nasty stomach bug this past Thursday and she threw up a total of ten times (that's alot for a 2 year old) and now she has the runs. She managed to pass it along to my grandparents and me, but my folks and Jesse have been spared thus far. We will have to wait and see what the remainder of the weekend has in store for them. I have two more full weeks of work and then I am off for two for the holidays. I can't wait. I love Chritmas! I will try to borrow my sister's camera before then and take some shots of the house inside and out with all its decorations. Till next time (and hopefully with pictures)-Mel

Dancing Queen!

Olivia loves to dance! I mean she gets down, the ryhthm and the beat of music move her to shake her hips like no other two year old I have ever seen. Just watch and you will see.

Kitty Cats for Halloween

We went to my sister's Halloween party last weekend and Olivia was a kitty cat. It was not a good idea to paint her face just yet, she smeared it instantly and then everyone who hugged her got some too. Other folks had some really good costumes as well. I was Ugly Betty, and I won the costume contest.

Crazy girl

I can't get Olivia to stop going through my drawer in the bathroom and putting on every head band she finds. Then she finds my sunglasses and it becomes a whole new look. Check her out.

Princess

Olivia loved dressing up as a princess for Jackson's party. Here are a couple of shots before we left because once we got there it was off with everything so she could jump comfortably. She wants to wear the dress everyday!
