I know this post is kind of late, but I thought I would put up the pictures anyway. Olivia watched with me as the results came in and I was frantically going back and forth between the tv and internet to get the latest news. She doesn't get what the big deal is, but that didn't stop her from celebrating with me. It is nice to have someone to get excited with me since Brian doesn't get into it like I do. All I can say is it really was an amazing night and I'm so relieved that it's over!
Olivia went to get her first haircut on Halloween. We had been talking to her about it for a while before we went to get her ready. The first time she sat down she started crying so I let her watch while I got my hair cut to see if that would help her feel better about it. After that she was ready and other than giving the hairdresser suspicious looks she seemed to handle it just fine. We even got an envelope to put snipets of hair in and a certificate for a first haircut.
Notice she is wearing her Cinderella costume. She has been wearing it almost daily since she got it and asks to put it on every morning. It is a good negotiating tool to use to get out of the house in the morning. Most people say "How cute she's still wearing her Halloween costume," and the parents look at me like they have been there and understand how preschoolers are. 
I thought getting her hair cut would be sad for me, but it wasn't all that bad especially since there wasn't much crying involved. Hopefully next time will go just as well and Olivia might even enjoy it.
The church across the street from our house had a Halloween party called Trunk or Treat. It is where the kids go around to people's trunks and get candy just like trick or treating. We didn't get any pictures of Olivia getting candy because she was too shy to go up and get the candy. They had balloon animals, food, and inflatables for the kids to play on and Olivia had a great time.
We went to Jumpin Beans this morning with some of our friends. It is basically like a gigantic blow bounce house that the kids jump in. It is great because the kids have so much fun and then they are worn out for nap time. We had a good time and now I finally have some pictures to post!
Today is our three year wedding anniversary. If this is what three years is like, I can't even begin to imagine being married thirty. So far we have had a baby, moved twice, and soon Brian will be done with school. The time has gone by fast when I reflect on it. This year there will be no cards, presents, or romantic dinners because we are just too busy with everything else going on so I want to take the time to say Happy Anniversary Brian and I love you!
For those of you who don't know yet, we are expecting Baby #2 in April. These are our first pictures of the baby. The first one is from 7 weeks and the second one is from today at 11 weeks. It has turned from a blob into something that now resembles a baby. We are so excited about the new addition to our family!
This is how we have been finding Olivia when we go to get her from her nap in the afternoon. I think she wants to play with her toys until the very last second before she falls asleep, so she stays on the floor to be close to them. I'm happy as long as she is taking a nap!
Here is Olivia in her dress-up clothes. We got a set of them for her since she seemed to enjoy Daylyn's clothes so much. She really likes them and asks for them every morning as soon as she wakes up. We have to keep the box that holds her clothes locked in the closet so she doesn't go rummaging around in there pulling out all her clothes and toys when she is supposed to be sleeping :)
