messy stuff

november was a messy month - we gutted the bathroom and started fresh. it was surreal to see the old bathroom go out the front door! whoo-hoo!!! olivia and amber helped us do the priming and painting. the bathroom project is almost complete - just a few finshing touches that are needed and some new accessories! :)

halloween

i think this was my favourite year yet. the girls had so much fun getting ready. i think my hannah montanna and my minnie mouse were quite adorable.

pumpkin carving

amber loved the goo - olivia not so much but she still loved to watch

olivia's party with the friesen's

the girls can't get close enough to baby 'D' when they are together

olivia loves to help feed dylan

this is olivia hiding while we sing 'happy birthday' to her

she had some practice blowing out candles at her 1st party so here she did it all by herselfhooray - my favourite cake!! gramma anne took her shopping and she wanted the balloon cake

she did not care about any other character cakes - only balloons especially the yellow balloons a Dora fishing rod from gramma & grampa - she told gramma & grampa that she wanted this for her birthday one day when they were at Canadian Tire and here it is!!

she practices with it every day

uncle quinn & auntie carly had to keep up the tradition of bubble gum on birthday #3! plus she got lots of pretty clothes and a yellow puffy vest! she wear's everywhere! katie is taking it all in....look at those pretty blue eyes!

and dylan is getting into mischief again!

here is the bouncing toy she got from aunite kim & uncle shane

she uses it every day at gramma & grampa's

when our reno's are done we will bring it home to bounce around
