Fired Up!

Olivia and I decided we needed a mother daughter date today! We headed to Evansville to Fired Up to paint some pottery.  Then we ate dinner at Chick Fil A and we had a great time together! Now that she is in school I don't often get one on one time with her like I do Ben.  I love spending time with my sweet girl! She is growing up SO quickly!

Disney in our living room!

It's no surprise that we love Disney World! For a few years Nate has talked about getting the monorail train for the kids, so finally, now that Ben is 4, we decided he was old enough to handle it with care.  Grandma and Grandpa Garrison got him the monorail and Grandma and Grandpa Rich got him the contemporary resort to go with it.  We set it up in the only space we had in the apartment. Olivia decided to top it off with her Cinderella castle and tada! We have Disney World right in our living room!

Starting Hank out early on the Disney toys!

She can finally make the bracelets she's been wanting to make!! Thanks Aunt Erin!

Ben saw this dragon and Cracker Barrel a while back and really wanted it. Uncle Landon and Aunt Erin bought it for him for Christmas. When he opened it I kicked myself for not having the video camera out. He was so emotional and some of us thought he didn't like it, but he was crying because in his words "This is JUST what I wanted! I ALWAYS wanted this!" It was the cutest thing ever! I'm pretty sure all of the women in the room were crying with him  such a sweet little heart he has

Olivia's doll (She named her Sadie) that Grandma and Grandpa bought her.  She's a heavy, real life type baby

Setting up the monorail in the living room! Pretty sure this will be a basement toy when we move!! very cool!!

Ben's 4th birthday!

We weren't able to have a big family birthday party this year because I came down with the flu.   So before we had Christmas with mom we celebrated his birthday!

Olivia loving on Hank!

Grandma was obsessed with Saige after Olivia got her.  She loved that she has auburn hair, because that was the color of her hair when she was young.  So... her kids went and bought her Saige! This was her reaction when she opened her. And she's looking right at Olivia, who knew she was getting her.  A sweet moment!
