Christmas 2007

Our christmas this year was a lot of fun, it was hectic but fun. Santa left Olivia her very first dolly under the tree, her cabage patch kinda looks like her (but it has more hair LOL), after that she opened her stocking and santa gave her a bunch of little people and some my little pony's. When it came to gift opening time she kinda got the idea, she'd help rip the paper off the gifts and would play with each gift before we had to take it away and get her to try and open another one. It took a long time to open her gifts, by the last couple mom was just opening them so we could be done!! We have one spoilled little girl! We had both families over for dinner at our house, we set up the table downstairs even tho it's not finished, it turned out really well, and it made for a lot more room upstairs so it was nice. We all had a good time with the christmas crackers, some of us even wore our paper crowns, including Olivia. And I had to throw this last picture in of Olivia sitting with our frozen turkey, they're practically the same size! She was patting it, I think she was trying to tell it that it was going to be ok. hahaha.

Olivia's 1st Birthday - Actual Day

We had two birthday parties for Liv, one was her big birthday party in November with all her family and friends and then we had a quiet birthday dinner on her actual birthday. These are from her actual birthday day. She got to open her gift from mom and dad, it was a drum set, she LOVED the drum sticks, she uses them on anything but the drum! And then we had her first ice cream cake, she liked the taste but didn't like how it made her hands cold!

2nd Annual Christmas Baking Day

It's that time of year again, and Jenn and I got together to do our 2nd annual christmas baking day. We had a couple issues with the cookie press and trev even tried to help us out but in the end we did it the old fashioned way, with a fork. Jenn was rather dissapointed that we had to do it that way and was pooh poohing our cookies, but they still tasted great!

First Halloween

Our little monkey dressed up as none other than....A Monkey! Both cyrus and I were laughing in the store when we put her in it, and it totally suits her personality so we couldn't resist. We only went to Grandma and Grandpa Favreau's house and then to Auntie Carrie and Uncle Dave's (that's where the good candy was!) We had fun but Olivia was getting a cold so we had to cut the night short, she had fun tho and daddy sure enjoyed her candy!

Pretty Hat

Grandma Favreau bought Liv a new winter hat, it's Marie from Aristocats, mom is very thankful for the velcro at the bottom, Olivia still hasn't got that fact that your suppose to leave hats ON, not whip them off. Sadly, this would be why not a week later we lost the hat in Wal-Mart!!! But it was sure cute while it lasted, it even came with gloves but they had no thumbs, so when the hat was done up and olivia was trying to take it off it looked like she was grooming her ears! LOL.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Our little olivia has an obsession with herself, she LOVES mirrors, she finds them everywhere. Her latest find is the drain in the bathtub, she checks herself out in it for about half the time she's in the tub, she watches herself chew on things, she sticks out her tongue, smiles, laughs, it's quite the scene to watch. These pictures are a bit fuzzy but funny nonetheless!












This is her version of Princess Laya

10 Months

As you can tell in the picture our little olivia does not like sitting in this chair anymore, even when she's strapped in she try's to do a header off the front!

Olivia has changed a lot in the last month, she's crawling, only on the carpet tho, she doesn't really like crawling on the laminate cause it hurts her little knees! (Diva!) She is constantly pulling herself up onto everything and has started to shuffle along the furniture. Last night she decided she would attempt going up the stairs, she made it up four of them before she decided she was too tired and tried to sit down. Her birthday is coming way to quickly, I can't believe she'll be a year soon!

Olivia's new big girl bed!

Our old neighbours came to town last weekend and their daughter Grace got a bigger big girl bed so Olivia got her mini big girl bed. It sure does look big compared to Olivia tho! She really liked jumping on it thanks to daddy.

All I want for Christmas is my....

Two bottom front teeth!!! Liv's teeth are finally starting to come in. Her two little ones so far haven't fully come in yet, but they've broke thru the gums so she's a normal kid again, not this crazy little devil child! LOL

Waiting for Daddy to Come Home

Some more lost pictures from warmer days. We liked to sit outside under the tree waiting for daddy to come home from work. Olivia was always much more excited by the grass & birds than any toys I brought out.

Happy to be outside!









Yay!! ( mom was picking grass and tossing it up in the air.)









YAY, Daddies Home !!!!

Cooking 101

Some older pictures of Olivia from when we pulled out some noise making kitchen utensils. Gimli seemed like a very helpful soux chef. And Liv really enjoyed making lots of noise with the wooden spoon on the metal bowl.

BAM!!!









This is WAY better than cooking









Hmmm, what's this for?









Here's the deal, I take the pictures, you cook!

Far Away Friends

Our old neighbours were in town this weekend so we had a chance to get together tonight. It was so great to see them, we do miss them dearly (it's cause they're just as crazy as us!) and Carrie, I know you'll kill me for putting up the picture of you, but tough nanners!

Steve & Cy playing X-box, surprise surprise!










Grace & Olivia playing









Grace Smiling for the camera, and Jackson is checking out the game that the boys are playing.









Carrie in all her glory, I think she was saying don't post that picture!!!









Carrie and I being silly and trying to figure out how all those people do the shots by themselves!

Butterfield Acres

We went to Butterfield Acres way back in May for our niece Danni's birthday. And Auntie Renee just found the pictures we thought we'd lost...YAY!!! So here is Olivia when she was only 4 months old, I can't believe how much she's changed!

Liv hanging out in a hammock at the park









A closeup of liv in the hammock, WOW does she look so little!












The girls, Danni, Dayton & Liv being silly.

A Jumble of photos

We take so many photos of Olivia that I'm just going to do another purge here instead of a million separate posts.

Stopping to smell the flowers.










Daddy's Little Girl, how cute!!!









Uh oh, do I hear daddy coming, tell him I wasn't touching ANYTHING!









I'm not touching your x-box, I promise!









Mmmmm Noodles!









Woo Hoo Rice!!!









Help me I'm stuck in a box!









Still stuck in a box but this is kinda fun!
