Saturday, 15 December

Got up around 8:30, fed the animals, made coffee, then cleaned up a bit. After that, I got showered and went and picked up Olivia. My little sunshine. She had a bad eczema breakout, poor little girl. So brought her home but stopped at Blockbuster on the way and got three movies. Was suppose to go shopping with Joel but he went early in the morning when the mall first opened up. Ended up going with Kurt and Michael. Bought quite a bit of stuff (all gifts - nothing for me). I thought I was done but was buying for other people on my discount. We grabbed some lunch and it was a really nice afternoon. We couldn't stay too late because we had a party to work in the evening. Was going to take Olivia to my mom's house but the weather was suppose to be bad tonight, expecting more than 7 inches of snow. So graciously, Todd said he would watch Olivia for us. Got home, changed Olivia and packed her bag and a bunch of other stuff - just in case, her pack and play, motion chair, toys, bottles, etc. We dropped her off and headed over to Ann and Lisa's house. We only do one party a year now and it's because we really like them. Lisa and Ann are such wonderful people. The party went really well, very smooth - even with the bad weather the party was very successful. We left around 11:30 and headed over to pick up Olivia. Todd did a great job watching her, she was sleeping when we got there. Brought her home, the roads were getting bad. Put Olivia to bed, she slept for a few hours then was awake for a while - I didn't get much sleep. She was finally out around 4:00 am. Slept till 8:30. I got a few hours sleep.
