Kisses...

One of Olivia's favorite things to do these days is to give hugs and kisses! Here are some pics of kissing cousins!

Dear Santa,

What I really want for Christmas this year is a baby doll that I can hold and love. Thank you!

Love, Olivia xoxox

"Hi!"

As Miss Olivia changes and grows, she has developed quite the personality! She is full of spunk and loves to make new friends. When at Flatirons for our annual Santa photo, Olivia flashed her beautiful smile, let out her little giggle and said, "Hi!" to practically everyone who crossed our path. With her bright smile and big blue eyes, she captures the attention of everyone she meets. During this season of hustle and bustle, she truly is an example of pure love and happiness!

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear Papa, Happy Birthday to you!

First Presents...

Papa and Gigi brought Olivia her first Christmas presents...two adorable ornaments and Christmas Eve jammies! Thank you, Papa & Gigi!

Celebrating Mommy's Graduation

After the ceremony, we went to the Coral Room in the Hylands neighborhood to celebrate and enjoy a late breakfast. We had the most delicious food and Olivia loved her grilled cheese sandwich!

CU-Denver Commencement

When I walked into my first library class last May, I was eight months pregnant with our Olivia. She and Jason have truly been with me and supported me through every step of my journey through the library program and I am so thankful to both of them. Although I finished my program at the end of June, I completed this journey by walking at the commencement ceremony today at the Convention Center in downtown Denver. Thank you to Jason, Olivia, Dad, Kiki and Tara for coming to support me today! And to my friend, Jess, I could never had made it through the program without you!!

Simply Adorable...

Snuggle Bug

Even though Miss Olivia is clearly on the move, she has also become more snuggly. She loves to curl up on the couch or on the floor with a blanket and a pillow. We just love our little snuggle bug!

Welcome Samantha Nicole!

Watching Sami get her first bath!
Our dear friends, Doug and Erin, welcomed a new little girl to their family ~ Samantha Nicole! Olivia is exactly 17 months older than Sami. When our little one met her new friend, she said, "baby!"

Deck the Halls

Decorating the Christmas tree this year was so much fun. Olivia loved the ornaments so much that she was sad when we hung them on the tree ~ she wanted to play with them! Our little tree is just beautiful!

Oh Christmas Tree

On Saturday morning, we headed to the Christmas Tree Lot by our house. We found a perfect little tree...just about 5'. We're going with simple Christmas this year since we'll be in California for the holidays!
Olivia had a blast walking up and down the aisles of trees looking for the perfect tree. What a special time of year it is!

Wishing you happiness and love as you prepare for this joyous season!
