Thanks Rachael for the cute bows and the bow hanger! They are so cute, you do a great job and are very talented.

A Few Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures of my little Olivia.

The other day she was holding and bouncing my old American Girl Doll saying "SHH SHH, it's Okay baby!" It was so funny and cute I guess she's been watching me with little baby Josh.

I'm sure most kids accomplish this way before the age of two, but since Olivia is the size of a twelve month old this door opening skill is very new to Jared and me. I love watching her accomplish new things, but I kind of liked being able to shut her out of certain rooms. she also has learned that if she pushes this little purple chair that she has into the kitchen she can reach the counter tops (cute, but dangerous).

What funny little curlers! I forgot to take a picture after I took them out next time I'll have to remember to take an after picture.
She's such a trooper, she's usually always so good at letting me do her hair.

Christmas Gingerbread Houses

The other night for family home evening our little family made home made gingerbread houses with my family. My dad made the dough the night before and I helped him cut out all the house pieces.

Here's most of the family working hard on their houses.My little brother Chris with his gingerbread house.

My little sister with Olivia showing off her house.

And my little brother Matt with his very sad looking gingerbread house. As you can see his talents are not in the gingerbread house building business. :)

Jared showing off his lovely catholic church (at least that's what he said) don't ask?

And last but not least Olivia and me! So as you can see Jared and I definitely should never go into the construction company :)

Today Olivia's granny Hiatt took her see Santa! I was told that she was really good and didn't mind sitting on Santa's lap at all, that totally surprised me, but I guess she really enjoyed it, what a CUTIE, she brings so much joy and happiness into our family and says the funniest things!
