Good Friends
Tatum and Olivia, again. A few minor toddler scuffles, but ultimately they played well togther and became good friends over the few days we spend in Oregon.
Screamin' Jay Livvy
Today Livvy was running around inside and she let out an ear-splitting scream. I pulled her aside and said "Is that an inside voice? You need to use an inside voice."
She looked at me, scrunched up her face and said, "No, I... I... I was singing a song about screaming."
Livvy and Jillian
Livvy was totally enraptured (well, we all were) with Jillian. Baby Jillian was the recipient of many, many pats on the head.
Railroad Park Motel
What better place could there be? You get to hang like monkey on the monkey bars! Jump on the bed! Sleep in a caboose!
Christmas Morning
The first thing Olivia found was a big Christmas tree cookie, which brought a gigantic smile to her face.
Mama also made a plate of niceley decprated cookies to bribe Santa (he had only one bite, so maybe they weren't to his taste).
Presents were opened...
and opened.
And the first (possibly) memorable Christmas went off without a hitch.
