Happy Birthday, Nana!

Hello again! I have a LOT to catch you all up on, but it will take me a couple of entries to do it. So let me start at the beginning . . .


First I want to show you some cute pics of Olivia *helping* us decorate our Christmas tree:



She loves all the "yights" on the tree! We have also been working with her to be gentle with all the ornaments on the tree and not pull them all off! But, as those of you heard on facebook - we had one incident the morning after we decorated it. She had been asking us what some of the ornaments were and we had told her that the round ones were "balls" - well, that was a bit of a mistake. See balls are meant for throwing, so she took one of them off the tree and threw it into the kitchen. Yup it shattered EVERYWHERE! Needless to say, we aren't calling them balls anymore - they are now just plain ornaments! Lesson learned!


Well, after the ornament incident we were headed back to Lenoir for a family get-together to celebrate Nana's 85th birthday!

Happy Birthday, Nana!

Here are some pics and a video that I thought were cute from the ride up to Lenoir of Olivia being silly in the car:











We had a good time seeing everyone and Olivia had a great time playing with her cousin's Sawyer and Gracie. (unfortunately her cousin Drew was sick and couldn't make it!)


She also LOVED the cupcake (with RED icing) she got to munch on!!! She got icing EVERYWHERE! It actually stained her face and hands for about a day, but she had a great time eating it! She also really enjoyed meeting all the nice people from Nana's new apartment building!









Here's a picture of Nana opening all her gifts:



Well, that's about all for this weekend (last weekend) and this post - but I will be continuing all my updates with a couple more entries to keep you updated.
