December 28th

While Bebe and Papa were visiting us, we went downtown to look around around.  Charleston is FULL of things to see and do.  I think it would take a few years to see it all.  I love looking at all the antique shops, gardens and history and Olivia loves anything that allows her to run and scream.

 This had me all choked up.

 

 I like this bridge.  

 There's my handsome man.

And what day is complete without a one man band?

Pill swallowing like a big girl!

It's time for me to play catch up...AGAIN.  

Way back at the end of December, Olivia and I were out with Chris's parents and we stopped for lunch.  I  didn't have anything to give Olivia her Creon pills in so we decided to see if she could get them down with a little Sprite.  She had no problem getting them down without choking or chewing on them.

Where has my little girl gone?

No clothes were harmed in the filming of this video.  :)

Bribing Santa

With all the moving going on lately, I haven't done much baking....as in, ZERO baking.  I wanted to present a good offering to dear Saint Nick.  Olivia and I decided on thumbprint cookies.  We made two kinds - one was a festive buttercream and the other was an almond cherry.  After making some, I decided the festive buttercream looked more....well, festive.

Cookie and Milk presentation

Santa has left the building.

 Here are the almond cherry thumbrint cookies, in case you were wondering what they looked like.  Don't worry.  They weren't wasted.
