Madeline's Birthday Party

Today we went to Madeline's birthday party. Her mother works for St. Luke's so Madeline is in Kindgom Kids with Olivia a few days a week. No matter what day I pick up Olivia whether it be straight from school or Kindgom Kids I will ask her who she played with and she will always say..."Lauren, Nora and Madeline." She has seen and played with those 3 girls more than anyone since we have been at St. Luke's.

Anyway, Madeline had her birthday party at a great park called, "Wilchester Park" and Olivia had a great time. It had a cowgirl theme so we dressed up Olivia in new hot pink boots and her cowboy hat. When we got to the park we pulled up behind a trailer with 2 ponies. Olivia was so excited. Ever since we went to the Mayan Ranch she talks about riding ponies and going on hay rides and she finally got to ride another pony.

Fun @ Pumpkin Park!!!!

We literally live around the corner from our neighborhood park and Olivia loves to go play. The other day we met up with our friend Zoe at the park and they played with a few other friends. Olivia was the littlest of all the girls and they were climbing up on the slide and sliding down. Olivia doesn't like to slide but she also doesn't like to be left behind. So my sweet brave girl climbed up with a little help from Mommy and started sliding. I was so proud of her.

Well today Mommy had to work so Olivia and Daddy walked to the park and Olivia showed her Daddy how she can slide.

Can I climb this pole?
I love to pickup sticks!!

I love to slide now!!

Happy New Years!!!

Playhouse Disney

Yesterday we went to the Toyota Center to see Playhouse Disney Live!! We met up with our friends the Saksons and Olivia and Zoe had a great time. When we first got there Olivia didn't see too interested in watching the show. She did perk up a bit when Pooh came out. We found the Sakson family and the minute Olivia saw Zoe she was a completely different child. She loves Zoe!! We we sat down to watch the rest of the show the girls danced and jumped and had a fun time. It is so cute to watch them together. The parents had a pretty good time too because we got to do the "Hotdog" dance. Those of you that have little kids that watches the Mickey Mouse club will understand the "Hotdog" dance.

Making a Gingerbread House

Today Olivia made a gingerbread house. I put the house together and iced it and Olivia decorated it. She had fun putting the candy on the house but she would have rathered eat the icing and the candy.

Olivia and Santa Claus

Olivia and Santa in 2007
Olivia and Santa in 2006

It is amazing the difference a year makes.

Olivia got her picture taken with Santa Claus this past Wednesday at church but I could only order pictures and not receive a cd of the pictures so we had to go shopping so we stopped by Santa and got a picture taken and bought the cd. She did so good both times. I talked up Santa in a very positive light and she went straight to him with no problem. Peter and I were so proud of our baby girl.

Oops! She did it again!!

Last night Olivia locked me out of the house... again! The first time was some time last year and I wrote about it on our website. This time was much worse. I walked out to the garage to put another trash bag in Olivia's diaper pail. I was going to take Olivia with me but the pail is right outside the door so I didn't. Once I finished putting the trash bag in I turned to open the door and it was locked. The minute I said Olivia she started crying. She knew what she did. The more I tried to get her to open the door the more she cried and screamed. My imagination ran a little wild because for a minute I thought someone was in the house doing something to her which was not the case. Peter was not at home and I don't know his cell phone or work phone by memory because the numbers are in my cell phone . I actually thought about running to the church but I didn't want to leave Olivia alone that long and it would be futile to go to one of the neighbors house since I didn't know Peter's phone numbers and the church office was closed. I tried to get into the backyard because there are windows in the back and she would be able to see me and open the door to the patio but the padlocks on the gates were locked. Go figure. I get back to the back door and Olivia is screaming at the top of her lungs. I am so upset by this point I am about to cry. I try to get her to open the door again and she finally succeeded. Thank God!!! After I got in I picked her up and she cried on my shoulder for a minute and then she got down and started playing. I'm glad she could forget about it that easy because Mommy's heart was still racing.

This morning I asked her if she locked Mommy out of the house last night and she said, "Yes." and then I asked her if she was going to go that again and she said, "No." Good answer!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
