Olivia lost her first tooth!

Yesterday, November 28th, Olivia discovered she had a loose tooth.  She was so excited, but a bit scared as well.  We read a bedtime story about Lola who had a wobbly tooth.  She loved it.  Today as we were eating lunch, she declared: "Mommy, my tooth fell out!"  Olivia was smiling ear to ear...beaming!  It was so adorable!

Check out the new Olivia, minus 1 tooth.

It sure is a beauty!  It is actually very tiny, I just enlarged it so we could see it.

The tooth is on the bag, all the way on the left side in the corner.

Olivia so excited to place it under her pillow for the tooth fairy's visit.

She went to sleep right away this evening, dreaming about what the fairy will bring her.  I bet she wakes up at 6 am, or earlier.  

Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with Madeline

Since I am pregnant and due in a week or two and its obvious I will be unable to travel, we celebrated Christmas with Madeline and Jessica who were here for Thanksgiving.  It was a fabulous visit with Maddie.  Jack and Olivia loved playing with her.  It was one of the first times they really played with one another...imaginative play, etc.  They loved it!  All 3 of them.

Black Friday Fever--Circulars!!!

Putting on the Ritz

Jack and Olivia decided to put on a show for me. So while Daddy was nice enough to let me sleep in, the three of them practiced singing and playing instruments.  They even set up a special seat on the couch for me.  They are just so adorable!

Jack's Last Soccer Game-Nov. 8th

Jack was so excited for his last soccer game.  Although he was sad the fall season was over, he absolutely loved the fact that he received a trophy.  He was so proud of himself!

Halloween

Olivia was dressed up as Gabriella from High School Musical.  She was so cute.  Was she got all dressed and had her wig on, she looked in the mirror and asked me why her face was still hers and not Gabriella's.  So funny.  She thought the wig would change it all.  Isn't she beautiful?

Jack, as Batman! 

Olivia, Jack and Delaney, our neighbor.

Gabriella and Batman, before we headed out to G-ma's and Papa Toe's for dinner and trick-or-treating.

It was such a good night.  The kids loved walking around from house to house.  Boy did they get a lot of candy.  After we got back, we sorted through the goods, and then Daddy and Jack went home for a special Daddy and son night.  Olivia and I had a special sleep over at G-ma's house.  Olivia and G-ma exchanged stories all night...Olivia actually got tired of talking...I can't believe it..she does stop talking!  It was amazing!

Pumpkin Decorating with Papa

After the field trip, Olivia, Jack and I went to G-Ma's and Papa Toe's for lunch and to decorate the pumpkins.  Papa helped out tremendously!  It was lots of fun.  As you can see from the pictures, Jack was very tired and refused to let me take many pictures.  I did get some though, and of course, everyone knows Olivia can't resist the camera!

Webb Family Visit

Doug and Alanna came to visit from Ohio.  It was great to see them.  Jack and Olivia absolutely love their Uncle Dougiehead (as they call him) and their Purple Auntie (Alanna, of course).  They came to spend the day at our house with the kids while Eric and I were working.  They set up a huge obstacle course in our backyard and they had so much fun with it.  When we got home from work everyone was exhausted and hungry.  We all headed out to eat....it was Doug's birthday too, so after the restaurant, we came back to our house to have cake.  Apparently, I ran out of candles, so I had to use a candle in a jar.  Does that mean he's only 1?  

The following weekend we all headed to the Family house in Maine.  As soon as we got there, Daddy started to rake up all the leaves, and Jack and Livi began to attach Uncle Doug with them and of course, jump into the piles of leaves.

Livi and Jack love to walk the dogs.  Here are 2 of the 6 we had at the house all weekend: Baxter and Tucker.

Yes, there really is 6 dogs!  And this particular day was October 25th...Bella and Toby's 1st birthday!  I can't believe we have 2 one year old doggies!  

Here they are easier to count.

Unlce Doug with Livi and Jack.

Finally a picture of Auntie Alanna.  Here she is with Jack writing names on the cups for dinner.  Jack loved helping her set the table.

The weekend was fun...we only wish we could see more of Auntie Alanna and Uncle Doug.  Too bad they live in Ohio.  I think the next time we'll see them is in Feb or April, when we Christen Charlotte.  Doug and Alanna are her Godparents. Can't wait!
