Ryan’s employer hosted a Santa Party today and we were able to go and meet Santa! Olivia really warmed up to him and even told him what she wanted for Christmas. . .music and books. She also picked out a teddy bear that was made in the North Pole! We had a great time!
And here are just some pictures from a fun night hanging out at home.
Olivia with her two Gogums and her Lily. . .I think she’ll be taking these three to college! That’s how much she adores them.
Aye Aye Captain!
I just have nothing much to talk about lately. There isn’t a lot going on, I guess. So, pictures will have to suffice for now.
I did want to wish my sister-in-law Laura a very Happy Birthday today!! What an adventure the next year holds! Also my sister-in-law Kim and her family spent their first full day in their new house in Arkansas and we’ve been continually praying for them! Quite the adventure for them as well!
Well, I’ve been out of commission for a few days with an awful stomach bug. Today, I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and now I just hope Ryan and Olivia don’t get it. It pretty much spoiled my entire Thanksgiving weekend. We did manage to get a bit of shopping done and put up our Christmas decorations. Many thanks to my husband for holding down the fort while I was in bed. I think Olivia enjoyed the extra time with daddy. Olivia has been overjoyed with all of the Christmas stuff and was so excited to “build our Christmas tree.”

Our Christmas Tree
Our stockings were hung by the chimney with care. . .
I think we have an ornament bandit in our midst.
Just a reminder of how little Olivia’s feet were at birth.
This year, we even decided to decorate the bathroom in gingerbread.
Many blessings to you from our family to yours!
