Santa can you hear me?

Today is Christmas eve, and I hope Santa is coming even though it is snowing so hard. Today my papa had to shovel so much snow I really hope Santa can make it. My mama and me put reindeer food outside to help them find their way to my house. We had a nice dinner and I got to hug everyone in my Christmas pajama's before going to bed. I hope I can sleep tonight because I am so excited to see what Santa brings me!

My PARTY!

Today is the day! The day has come for my big special day!! It is my 1st birthday party!! My mama made all the invitations, and all my friends are coming over. I can't wait. I got to wear my new pretty dress. 30 of my closest little friends came, plus all my grown up friends and family!

Everyone played and sang to me. I also loved opening all my presents. It was so much fun!!

Tomorrow is my party!

Mama and Ms. Kari tried on my dress today to see how it fit, and I loved it! I can’t wait for my party! My mama has planned so many neat things, and so many of my friends will be there. I can’t wait! I love my dress, it makes me feel like a princess!!

It's raining TEDDY BEARS!

Today mama got all the bears in the mail for my party! Everyone gets one in their treat bag. Lauren and I went through each one to see which one was the cutest, softest, funniest, cuddliest and smartest. We had fun. Then mama put them in the treat bags because MY PARTY IS IN 2 DAYS!

I'm Famous

Today my M&Ms arrived for my party! Mama ordered them with my picture on them, and they say “Hip Hip Hooray, Olivia’s 1! Everyone gets to take home a small bag. I loved looking at them all, and then even helped my mama get the ribbon ready so we could get them in their little baggies. They match the colors of my party in pink, white and brown.

My Dollie

Today Ms. Kari brought Lauren's birthday present over. It was a doll with stroller. I named the doll Dollie. I love her so much. The best news is Ms. Kari gave me my own Dollie because I loved Lauren's so much. I like to walk with the stroller and take Dollie for walks down the hall.

Humus

I LOVE HUMUS! Today mama let me even have it for dinner. Best yet, I would put it on my chips. I love it. I grabbed the container from her so I could really get every last drop. Oh man, it was YUMMY!

Cheesy McCheeserson

I have a new smile, and here it is. It makes my mama and papa laugh so hard.

My new lion

I got a great new toy! It is a loin that I can sit on and be driven around. Mama pushes me slow, and papa pushes me fast! I like to scream when papa pushes me fast, it is so fun! I like to wheel right up to the camera! I even get brave and ride with one hand while I wave with the other.

The Pumpkin Patch

Today my best friend and I went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins! The weather was so nice, it was great to be outside. Papa helped me find just the right pumpkin!! I can’t wait to bring him home and put him outside by Wilber.

Dinner time

Dinner is the time my mama, papa and I all sit at the table and talk about our days. It is a kinda like a mini daily recap. We go around the table and talk about what we did, and how great our day was. Today I had a great day playing and I enjoyed hearing about mama and papa’s day. They did not play. I also showed them that I learned to pick my nose today! I clapped for myself.

Crawly McCrawlerson

I just love to crawl around the house and make sure everything is in order. Sometimes mama and papa chase me, which is so fun for me. I finally figured out how to really crawl on the hardwood floors; it can be quite tricky because they can be slippery suckers. Today mama put on my Ladybug hat, which I did not love, but I humored her. I also got to play with my Hello Kitty Treat basket, which mama says people will fill with candy when I knock on their door on Halloween. I wanted to knock today, but she said we had to wait.

Put your feet up and relax

I love to relax while I eat my dinner. Tonight we had spaghetti with garlic bread. I really like to just put my feet up while I really enjoy dinner, or as my Auntie Shankie says, Supper. I still need to check out what is going on around the house, I am never too busy for that, but it is a nice time for me to relax from my busy day.

A lesson in life

I really think it is always good to help out whenever you can. My mama and papa work so hard, I like to help out when I can. Today I helped my mama fold all my laundry. I really think I did a good job taking everything out of the basket.

Sale ads

I love looking at them every Sunday with my mama and papa. I like to help my papa look at his favorite ads like Best Buy and Circuit City. I wore my new hat today while looking at them because I thought it made me look smarter.

We're going to the zoo!

YEAH! Today mama and me took my papa to the zoo I like to go to. I could not wait for him to meet Charlie Brown and my tiger friend. I also wanted to show him the big, gigantic bear statue. It was such a nice day! Perfect to see my friends at the zoo! He really had a great time.

My Swings

I just love going to my swings. I know we are going there before we even get there, and it makes me so happy and excited. I just snack on my cookoos while we walk there. Once we start heading up the hill I can barely contain myself!! Mama pushes me so high, and it makes me laugh so hard. Sometimes there are other kids there, but I always get my swing. It is the one that lets me swing while still checking out all the houses and cars. I like to keep my eye on everything to make sure everything is on the up and up. Papa sits on the picnic bench and waves at me. Sometimes Mama kisses me everytime I swing her way. That makes me laugh too. Oh how I love my swing!
