Olivia all laced up and ready for another afternoon on the ice.

 Liv became quite the ice skater this winter season - by the end of March she was skating all by herself with no props to help her around the ice. She tells us that she now wants to be a "ballerina on the ice."

Olivia celebrated her 5th birthday with a tea party at the American Girl Cafe. She invited a few of her classmates and her cousin, Lily, to the festivities and each girl was asked to bring along a doll.

Night Night

All of us up in Olivia's bed getting ready for books and bedtime.

More Christmas Cheer...

 Hudson showing us his best "say cheese" for the camera face.

Mom and Hudson getting a quick picture together - Hudson was all business while hanging the ornaments.

 What's the matter Olivia?

 Hudson hanging his favorite ornament on the tree - Mr. Bones!!!

 Look at what a big boy Hudson is standing on the small step ladder.

We hope everyone had a nice holiday and has a healthy and happy new year!!

Tree Trimming

Olivia and Hudson were very excited this year to help out with decorating the Christmas tree.

Hudson at the park

 A great fall day at the park. These long winter months are going to be tough on Hudson because all he wants to do is be outside.

 The perfect picture to sum up Hudson - a boy on the run at all times.

Happy Halloween

 Hudson went as a fireman this year and had so much fun collecting a bucketful of treats.

Hudson and Olivia ready for the festivities to begin.

Olivia went as Merida (the heroine/princess from Brave). She was a great big sister and collected treats for both her Halloween bucket and Hudson's bucket. Hudson wanted to ride in his car for the first part of trick-or-treating.

 Another treat to add to his collection.

 We had a slight wig malfunction halfway through.

 Olivia was on a mission to get to as many spooky houses as possible.

 By the end of the evening, Hudson was all about going up to the door and asking for a treat. He realized how much fun he was missing riding in his car.
