Mother's Day

 Today was a great Mother's Day, Matt and the girls made it a very special day. Olivia really wanted to make sure that there was ample celebration, and she probably told me "Happy Mother's Day!" a hundred times. She said "Mom my favorite holidays are Mother's Day, Father's Day and the one where we honor the soldiers?". I am so grateful to be mother and love my girls so much!

 

American Girl Dolls

Olivia is obsessed with American Girl Dolls. She doesn't actually own any dolls, and she doesn't even want any of the dolls, but she absolutely loves the American Girl Doll catalog. Back in February Olivia was roaming around the city with Matt and they stopped off in the the American Girl Doll store to look around. They brought home a free catalog that tells about each of the dolls. Since then this catalog has been Olivia's favorite "toy" to play with. Every day we are doing some activity with this catalog, we plan the dolls' baptisms, help them each get ready for bed, take them on vacation, describe their outfits, and many many more adventures.  The catalog is getting quite worn with the daily play, it might be time to swing by the store and pick up a replacement.    

Liz visits

Aunt Liz came to visit and the girls were delighted, especially Olivia. They had a blast dancing, playing, swimming, and taking pictures on Liz's computer (Olivia's new obsession.) We always have so much fun when Liz comes, Olivia is already ready for her visit again!
