Olivia's Adventures

Okay, so it's been a while since the last post...but hey, we've been busy (and parenting is just a little time-consuming)!  So, what's Olivia been up to, you ask?  She's been up to plenty!  Grandma Eileen and Awesome Aunt Pat came out for a visit in October and we all went to 4 n 20 for breakfast, Corbin Bowl for bowling and hung out at our apartment.  Soon after their visit, Olivia, Tony and I crashed my Paychex team meeting and had lunch with my HR colleagues.  Then we headed to Ventura, CA for a little 2-day getaway.  We toured downtown Ventura and visited the Buenaventura Mission.  

Olivia's next adventure was Halloween.  We went to the pumpkin patch with Aunt Colleen and our friends, Lisa, Matt, Jess and Jude.  Tony made a yummy spaghetti dinner for everyone and Colleen and Lisa brought lots of baked goodies.  Tony and Colleen carved pumpkins and it was an all around fun day.  The next big day was Thanksgiving.  Aunt Colleen built Olivia's highchair so she could sit at the table with us.  Tony cooked a full turkey dinner and we, Colleen and Lisa all enjoyed it very much.  We finished off the evening with some pumpkin pie (thanks, Coll) and some Scene It on the old xbox.





Happy Thanksgiving!





The day after Thanksgiving, we and Colleen went to Riverside for a day with the Masters and Hawthornes.  Another fun day, and Olivia got her very first Christmas ornament from Aunt Vicky and Uncle Kevin.

With Grandma Joan on the the day after Thanksgiving.

In between holiday fun, we mostly hang out at the house.  We regularly go shopping at Ralphs and Target and take walks to the mall and bank.  Currently, we're getting ready for a big trip to Chicago for the Christmas holiday, which is sure to be a blast.  After that, I have to go back to work.  Bummer.
