SiPi, our littlest cousin, such a cutie. He steals my heart everytime he says "Can I go bye-bye with you?" LOVE HIM!

Dad and Kathy came down for Thanksgiving, such a fun visit

The boys and their toys. HA!

The girls with their girls

Chapel and Chicago for Olivia's Birthday!!!

This past week Olivia's school had Chapel and it was the Kindergarten and 1st grade's turn to perform. To say I was excited is an under-statement. I was SOOOO proud of her! We practiced her songs, Bible versus and poems. Her class did wonderfully well!

After Chapel I stayed for lunch and brought cupcakes for the kids and the goodie bags Olivia made. LOVE her class, LOVE her school, LOVE that she is so happy there.


Olivia and I are alike in alot of ways. My birthday celebrations are weeks long and Olivia wouldn't have it any other way for herself! I feel like she has turned 6 about 10 times already because of all of the talking about it, planning and talking about it some more :)

On Friday Gigi and I packed up the kids and headed to Chicago to celebrate the newest addition to our family... meet Hallie (short A) Haaaalie, not HAAAAley. HA!

One of my favorite parts of the day, was our favorite lunch spot, the Grand Lux, with a view over Michigan Avenue. We could have sat and people watched all day.

We made a stop in the Lego store, Logan was BEYOND excited! It was fun to watch him take it all in.

Today we celebrate with family and then next Sunday we celebrate again with more family! Just my style, it keeps going and going.

We love you so much sis and are so thankful for you! Happy Birthday sweet girl :)
