Olivers Updates

Kari & the kids come for a visit and we made gingerbread homes…well, they made them, I observed and begged for candy.

The adorable Mr. Zeke

Dezi, thinking she is being sneeky…mmm, frosting!

Daddy, hard at work!

Nothing like a mommy and her baby!

And the ever so adorable Kazmyn

They look like twins!

Now that is a house!

HELP, we can’t find Dezi! …

We always have such a good time with Kari and the kids…they are just like family! We love you all and wish you a super new year!

I got to visit Santa for my second time.  We had to wait outside in line for almost 2 hours, and it was cold!

Blu got to visit Santa too!

Mommy picked up a fun toy for me, a Polaris Snow Dragon 3 Ski Sled from Costco, it was tons of fun!

Watch out Uncle Seth…here I come!

My hands where like popsicles so mommy made me put my gloves on.

I have so many clothes on I can’t move…thanks mom!

What the heck am I supposed to do with that daddy?

Brrr…

Help, I have fallen and I can’t get up!

I have 4.5 teeth (2 top, 2 bottom and one more on the way)

I can say Dog very clearly

I am into everything!

I can stand for a few seconds on my own (until I realize what I’m doing)

I am sleeping on my own mattress in my room – I have been super spoiled and sleeping with mommy & daddy – however, I take up most of the bed so mommy is kicking me out!

I love blueberries – I think I get this from Grandma Mina

But the best thing…I took my first step today!

Mommy & daddy took me out for my first walk in the snow…I wasn’t sure what to do with all that stuff hitting me in the face.

Going for a ride in my wagon.

Get me out of here!

You can’t see but I’m standing all by myself!

Yummy

I can’t wait for more snow…mommy is going to teach me how to make snow angels…

Here are the rest of the pictures from my amazing first birthday, thanks everyone for coming!

Ok Auntie Renee, if you say so!

You want some?!?

My cute teddy bear had that Aunt Stacey & Uncle Seth gave me, I sure do like it!

My card sings!

Look at all this loot!

My new Radio Flyer, I look forward to taking some walks in this!

Thanks everyone for coming, I had a great time and I hope you did too!

For my first birthday party, we went to Pump It Up.  They had a bunch of inflatable rides for us to play on.

The big slide was my favorite, but it was lots of work for Mommy, Daddy and everyone else to lug me up to the top.

I also liked playing on the little slide – I could slide down it by myself.

Lots of people showed up.  I have lots of friends!

Henry and James somehow made it without getting their pictures taken.

I don’t know who these people were.

Group picture!

Silly faces!

Mommy spent a lot of time making me a chicken costume but daddy didn’t think it was very safe because the feathers came off so easy…but we had to get a few pictures!

Seriously mom?!?

This would have been a super fun costume mommy, if only I was a bit older so I didn’t freak out over the feathers. Thanks for all your effort!
