Saturday, 1 December

December already - Wow... I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I got up early - ugh, tired and got cleaned up. I picked up Olivia at 10:00 am, she is so sweet and makes me smile, I am so happy when I get to see her. So after picking her up, we came back home - she fell asleep in the car so I put her down for a little bit. I started working on the Christmas cards. I think I'm not going to send as many out as I usually do - narrowing it down to 80. So worked on that for a little bit, after Olivia woke up, I changed her and fed her. We all then headed out to do a little shopping and run some errands, went to a few stores and got a few things. We were back around 4:00 pm, it was time to feed Olivia again - so did that and she played with her floor gym. She is so alert and has such great motor skills. Around 7:00 pm, Mark/Nikki, Mark/John, Dan/Michael and Shon came over. It was so great to see Mark & Nikki (everyone else too), it was great to have my brothers around. We played Wii, ate pizza and played some cards. Mark and Nikki got to meet Olivia and Nikki was so good with her. It was a wonderful evening and I had lots of fun. I put Olivia down around 9:00 pm and she was out untill 7:30 the next morning. I was so happy.... that's a Christmas gift for me. We did get some very sad news though today, Our Friend Doug of Katie/Doug passed away. He had a massive heart attack and passed away at 45. We were in shock, we both are so saddened by this. We love Katie so much and feel horrible for her, the kids and his family. We will miss him so much.
