Santa's almost here!

Olivia has been talking about cakes A LOT!  So we made a cake!

She loves to help stir...

And she loves to watch the oven...

The next day we frosted it-YUM!

We attempted to go see Santa but by the time we got there (10 minutes before the mall opened) the line was already 90 minutes-yikes!!  The kids even took along the Santa plush-too cute.

Olivia said she was going to tell Santa she wanted bowling--I think Santa knows anyway!!! :)

December is half over!!!!

Bill and I before my company's Year End Event at the Gaylord Palms Resort.

Owen being a muffin

Olivia at the bookstore playing with the train set-she loved it!

What we've been up to...

Olivia has found a new sport-Bowling!

We went to a friends bowling party and Olivia was amazed!  All she talks about now is bowling and she makes toys into bowling pins and rolls a ball to knock them down.

She tells me "I went bowling in the car!"

Yes, she is speaking in 4-5 word sentences, learning new words every day and can even count to ten!

Daddy taught her how to roll the ball

Strike!

Owen is standing up and cruising around everything-he has taken a few spills but that does not deter him from trying to walk on his own-he must be watched very closely!

This is the Owen big smile-it makes me smile :)

The kid's are at my parents for the weekend-that's why I have time to blog now :)

I miss them--

Thanksgiving trip

More pictures to come as I get some free minutes over the next few day, Enjoy!
