</div>every year we seem to go bigger and better when it comes to the ol' christmas tree. while i do NOT like the watering and the pine needles everywhere for several weeks, a real tree is kind of fun and seems to be our thing. we've gone to the same lot for the past 3 or 4 years. this year's tree was about as big as the corner it goes in... not much room to spare. we got it up and pretty much done the day after christmas. i also had my christmas decor out before thanksgiving even happened. clearly i need to invest in more pilgrim and turkey decor so as to not skip from pumpkins and skulls to ornaments and lights. i've kept a tradition my mom had with our girls which is getting a new ornament for each of them every year. i have almost all of mine from when i was younger until college that my mom gave me. so, that's what the pictures are of above. olivia with her yarn angel and violet with her yarn santa. blurry of course because this is just before i got my shiny, new camera!abbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03828532360394072978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531090873506625161.post-6531314544582722092012-01-05T14:05:00.001-05:002012-01-05T14:13:27.135-05:00thanksgiving 2011<div style="clear: left; float: left; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">we did thanksgiving with adam's family this year along with a few extra friends. it was a great group and the kids had a great time acting crazy together at papa joel and gigi's house, as usual. i didn't take very many pictures so fortunately a friend in attendance captured a few.... :) the layout is all weird in this post but i'm too lazy to fix it. i'm on a mission to get caught up on blogging!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She is cracking us up these days. <br /><br />Last night I went into her room at like 8:30 because I thought she was already asleep and I needed to put something away. She popped right up and said, "I huuuungry. Dinner!" So she got up and had some blueberries while Olivia had a piece of pizza.... And some oatmeal and bites of my PB&H. I think she's (Olivia) in some growth spurt..?<br /><br />Vi is constantly surprising us with the funny sayings she picks up. Yesterday at the end of a book she said, "amen!" instead of "the end." she's started saying "I can't" and "I don't want it" (even when she does- awesome feature of the upcoming terrible 2's) and one of her current favs... "hold on." Feel kind of bad about that one since I totally say that to her approximately 100 times a day. <br /><br />Saturday we took a last minute day trip to the beach. When I was putting Olivia's suit on she was getting all wiggly and excited and I said we were going to the beach, to which she said "The beach?? I loooove the beach!" Pretty sure she borrowed that line from Dora. :) When we were at the beach, she was collecting shells and throwing them into the water but I saw her take one and hold it up to her ear real quick to see if she could hear the ocean.

Nothing like a good excuse to celebrate/pig out! Good times. Happy Anniversary to us! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/03/4959.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/03/s_4959.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Here's a pic my dad sent me of Olivia a little after Adam dropped the girls off for their sleepover.

She is so chatty and has started saying just about anything. The past few days it's been, "Oh maaaan!" (Taken from our friend swiper the fox) and "Oh, gosh!!" (Taken from me when I had to slam on the breaks in the car the other day) She has become obsessed with putting this Cinderella dress up on whenever she can get her hands on it and can often be found pushing her baby around the house in it. The past couple days she's thrown the weird newborn Velcro sunglasses into this mix. This morning I heard her freaking out in the family room and when I ran to see what happened, I found her very upset that she couldn't get the sunglasses to stay on her baby. Guess she'll just have to keep wearing them herself instead! I laughed so hard when I was taking these pics... So much so that Violet started looking at me weird, kind of freaked out. Clearly she was clueless as to what could be so funny... She was looking good in her mind, I'm sure!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4511.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4511.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4512.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4512.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4513.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4513.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4514.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4514.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4515.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4515.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/02/4516.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/02/s_4516.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />abbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03828532360394072978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531090873506625161.post-63844180315739032352011-07-15T12:00:00.015-04:002011-07-22T14:29:28.429-04:00happy birthday, olivia faye!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
a little entry tonight...<br />
<br />
last night we went to my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary celebration. my favorite part had to be the slideshow my aunt put together of all these amazing pictures dating back to who knows when all the way up to this year (the last picture was a cute one of olivia and violet!). i'm the oldest grandchild, so i decided to make a book (i used shutterfly) giving each grandchild a page, where i had a current photo of them alongside their answers to 3 basic questions about our grandparents. it turned out really cute and it was really easy, and my grandparents really liked it. i'm hoping to get my hands on some of the pictures from the slideshow and make a similar book... i think it's a great way to have a "hard copy" of super old photos that otherwise get lost in somebody's junk drawer, you know?<br />

I attempted to sleep in...why is it on days where sleeping in is planned, I can't sleep past 7:30 to save my life, but on all other days when I hear "moooommmyyy!!!" at the same time, I feel like waking up = coming back from the dead??<br /><br />Adam made me breakfast and had grand plans for my gift presentation involving both girls, but they had to re-write with Violet as the solo act when, around 8:30, Olivia was still snoozing soundly. Of course Violet had no problem charging into our room with a balloon in each hand and necklaces (part of my gift) around her neck. Being the bossy boss that she is, she was very annoyed that I dare try to take the necklaces off of her and was treating the balloons like pets on a leash saying, "commeer!

Adam got this cute pic of her after she saw me reading in the corner and brought her own material (fruit ninja on Adam's iPhone) over to join me. She is my little snuggle girl. She sat there for a while with me.

My favorite parts besides how sweetly is smiling are 1- she has some kind of food in her mouth and 2- she could totally use some frizz-ease....

ok, enjoy the pics.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">PS- on a side note... need a little reader poll...since there are so many of you and all. below is the TV wall in our house. i've been debating what to do above the TV for a while. i feel like it needs something to close that area in..doesn't have to be huge, obviously.. just something. i've thought about a clock, some series of 3, continuing the photos to the left with more frames, a DIY art piece that i should link to show you but i won't.... and who knows what else. any ideas??????? ps if you're wondering if that is a box of spaghetti next to the TV, it is. violet brought it to me and said, "cack-oo?" (cracker). good try, baby vi!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
