Olivia's First Birthday Party

We had Olivia's first birthday party on Saturday, January 3 at Holly's House in Evansville. We had a great turnout of family and friends. Olivia received so many toys and clothes! She had a great time getting to see everyone. It is hard to believe that our little girl is already 1 year old, how quick time goes. She has taught us so many things in the first year and I am sure there will be many more to come. We want to thank everyone for helping make her first birthday special.

Returning Home

This is Olivia after getting back from Christmas in Poplar Bluff.

1st Birthday in Poplar Bluff

Olivia had a Birthday Party in Poplar Bluff with all of my family. As you can tell she had a good time playing in the cake. We had to take her straight to the bath tub after she was finished. I think she might have a sweet tooth, like her Grandma Whittenburg.

Christmas in Poplar Bluff

After opening gifts at our house we drove to Poplar Bluff for Christmas. We had a really good time getting to visit with everyone. Heather and Travis got there on Friday night and we were able to spend the weekend with them. I got sick on Friday, which slowed us down a little, but not too much. Olivia got so many things from everyone. Some of her favorites are her Fisher Price house, baby doll, bath toys, and clothes (or maybe the clothes are my favorite). She also liked Grandma pushing her around the living room in the clothes basket with her bottle. It was so good to have everyone together, that doesn't happen often, so we must enjoy it when it does happen.

Christmas Morning

We spent Christmas morning at our house this year. As you can tell the "big gift" that Jason got for Olivia went over really well. She had the same reaction to the horse that she did in the store, for those of you who saw the previous picture. It was fun watching Olivia take everything in. She really liked the bows and paper this year!
