Vanity run amok...

I'm not impressed with the pretty bow that mommy put in my hair...



But I do love myself...



...And I love napping with Pooh Bear.
 

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Olivia's First birthday was on Thanksgiving weekend which made for an extra special and extra thankful Thanksgiving this year. A few friends and family came over celebrate with us.

"What?? Peas and ham for my birthday supper?"


I love blueberries and strawberries so what could be better than blueberry/strawberry birthday cheesecake?

We were guests for Thanksgiving Dinner at Ron's youngest son, Dales home. Dale's wife, Gisela is from Mexico and this is the first time she's ever cooked a turkey. I wish I had photos of it because it really looked and tasted like it would give Martha Stewart a run for her money. My big brother Stewart, and his family came over also. Excellent food, terrific company. Miss Olivia loved her elevated seat on top of the portable dishwasher where she could keep an eye on everyone. So much to be thankful for - everyday.

Not me...

We're almost certain that Miss Olivia's first words will be "I didn't do it." or "It wasn't me."



 

Good friends and busy days

After all three of us got over our nasty colds, we finally held our "Meet Miss Olivia" Open House for friends that hadn't met Olivia yet, and even those that had. It was great to see so many of our friends that we just don't get to see on a regular basis for one reason or another, and I think a good time was had by all.
A nice smooch from my new friend Deanna.
