Starting Over.

Okay. I am going to try VERY hard to start over and be a better blogger. So many people I know have THE BEST blogs and I know they are all far busier than I. SO, stay tuned for my first "new" post. And wish me luck.:)

A Belated Merry Christmas!!!

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and this finds you recovering from the hectic holiday season. Olivia enjoyed every aspect of the holiday which made it twice as much fun for us. Even the smallest things caused her to tremble with excitement! From the presents under the tree, to the lights on the house, to baby Jesus' birthday. It all was big cause to celebrate for Ms Olivia. She was DELIGHTED to come downstairs Christmas morning to find that Santa really HAD made his long awaited visit and even more excited to find that he had enjoyed the cookies she had left for him and that his reindeer had enjoyed their apple treat. Truly magical! As she scurried down the stairs and saw MORE presents under the tree all you could hear her say was, "ah-ha!" as she ran to the fireplace to be sure that her stocking hadn't been forgotten.

We were blessed to have Auntie Jennifer celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with us which made it even more special. Papa Dan and Gramma Diane made it through the snow from Seattle and arrived Christmas night. Papa Dan came to stay at the Olson compound and boy was Olivia surprised to find him in her driveway as we hadn't mentioned his much anticipated arrival. A very special gift for all of us.

We hope you found yourself surrounded by loved ones and had a very relaxing Christmas. We missed seeing those of you that are far away but please know that you were never far from our thoughts.

I Have Been Inspired!!

For months now I have been trying to convince myself that I need to start a blog for our little family. I have some friends that have blogs and they do such a wonderful job and write such lovely messages that I have finally allowed them to inspire me to start my own. We will have to see how I do. Please bare with me as I learn the process of how this all works. I hope you all enjoy my posts as much as I will enjoy sharing them with all of you!! Stay tuned!!!
