Happy Easter!

Olivia had a few baskets to open on Easter morning. She had one basket that the Easter bunny left from Grammie's house and then one that was left at our house!

Olivia enjoying her bounty! She is one of those girls who is into all kinds of fun stuff! She likes the cars from the Disney movie and got Lightening McQueen and the Hudson Hornet. She also got some My Little Ponies and a few movies. And of course a few small pieces of candy and a "brick" as she called it - it was a Dove chocolate Easter Bunny. She doesn't know a good thing when she sees it!

Enjoying a breakfast treat on Easter morning - donuts!

We went to church, and Julia & Jimmy were also there! We even got the kids to sit together for a picture!

Then we went over to Papa & Grandma's house for dinner. The kids all played on gator. Liv was being a little bit cranky for a while, but after she got to ride in the gator, she was all smiles!

Easter Egg Coloring

04.11.09

This is the first year that we have colored Easter eggs. We missed on going out to see the Easter Bunny (but he's kind of creepy anyway). So, on Saturday, we colored eggs. This is the first time I've ever attempted to do eggs, and I think we did a pretty good job. Olivia had fun dipping them into the colors. And she was amazed when she got them out that they all had writing on them! I had written our names (and the dogs' names) on them all with the wax crayon before we began coloring.

Detroit Tigers - Opening Day 2009

04.10.09
Olivia likes to show her colors for her teams. On Tiger's home opener, Olivia sported her Tiger's cheerleader uniform to school! She gets a lot of cute hand me downs from cousin Julia. Aunt Kate even made Olivia some new hair bows for the Tiger season!

The Funniest Girl! 04.08.09

Olivia was a complete crack up the other night at dinner. We were done eating, and she just started being such a comedian. In the videos below, you'll notice that I occasionally had a difficult time keeping the camera still.

Play-doh date

03.31.09

Olivia and I had a fun Play-doh party. When she got home from school, she really wanted to play with her play-doh - which I'm not a HUGE fan of. But she enjoys it and actually she cleans up pretty well too. So I can't complain too much.

Go State!

Olivia cheered on her MSU Spartans on Friday, wearing her cheerleading outfit to school. She had a number of teachers who gave her high fives and others who tried to teach her to say "Go Blue"! Either way, she was terribly cute!

Maple Syrup!

On Saturday we went to a Maple Syrup farm with Rachel & Joshua. Olivia enjoyed the small petting zoo and more than that she enjoyed the pancake breakfast! We were a little surprised that we'd have to pay for a 2 year old to eat, but it was probably smart on their part, she ate 3 pancakes, some sausage and lots of syrup! :) She even got a purple bunny balloon - which she popped on the ride home.

Olivia loves rocks! She loves to walk around and pick them up and give them to people. As soon as she sees one she knows who she wants to give it to.

Joshua was really good - although in this picture he looks a little less than thrilled.
