Lunch & Olivia the Pig

Today Ben and I went out to lunch with Curt. Ben was really craving some "daddy time" and all morning he kept saying, "Let's get going mom!" He was happy to sit right by daddy and eat his chicken nuggets. When we were driving home, he fell asleep in the car for a few minutes. I've never had a problem with him not laying down for his nap if he fell asleep in the car, but today he just wouldn't settle down for a rest. I knew that Olivia the pig would be at the library at 2:00 today, so I decided to head there with Ben. He loves to watch Olivia on TV and he was very excited to meet her. After visiting with Olivia, we checked out a few books and headed home. I'm glad he got to meet her, but hopefully this won't be the first of many napless days!

All of the kids were very excited to see Olivia. The room was packed!

Olivia sat in a chair and said hi to the kids. Then, she nicely allowed every child to come up and give her a hug.

Ben waited a really long time to give Olivia her hug. I wish I had caught his face after he hugged her because he was SO happy! :)

What a fun day you and Ben had! Olivia was surely better than a nap! :-) I'm glad you were able to not only do lunch with Daddy, but hug on Olivia too. What a nice Mommy! :-)
See you soon!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
