LOVING this time of year!!

Last night we kicked off our week-long celebration of Olivia for her birthday (but really don't we celebrate the kids EVERYDAY???) by putting up the Christmas tree, having a fire in the fireplace and snuggling up all together to watch Charlie Brown Christmas. I put the tree and the lights up and Olivia decorated with the garland she picked out herself! Today she has been adding more garland-type decorations and re-arranging them over and over. I am thinking we should leave the tree up forever and just use it as entertainment!

Olivia is also busy saving the world today as Kimpossible (sp?). Running from couch to ottoman to chair, yelling "I am saving the world!!!" Whew, we can all rest easy tonight. Does anyone recognize the dress? This is the dress from last year that Olivia literally wore EVERYDAY for about 4 months, I washed it almost every day and when it got cold she would layer. She found it the other day (I must keep it to show her when she gets older) and has been wearing it as a short dress with pants.

Tommy surprised the kids and came home for lunch! Logan got a new "Jay, Jay" as he calls airplanes and couldn't wait to show dad!
