Last weekend we went to Chandler and stayed with Ron and Libby for a night. Rob did some small jobs and hung their Christmas lights and decorations. Olivia and I were able to get out and about and enjoy some shopping. Sometimes it feels soooooo good to "get off of the mountain", even for just a short time. We got to pull out Olivia's sandals and short sleeves and she got to "frolic" in the sun. We sure are blessed to have Ron and Libby as friends, and even better, they treat us like family.
Believe it or not, Olivia has never had a set of Legos. Since all of my cousins work or have worked for Legoland, you would think we'd have a ton of Legos! She loves to play with them at Isaac's house but she informed me that she's ready for the "big girl" legos now. I told her she should ask Santa if he would bring her some for Christmas. Well, last week at WalMart the set she wanted was on sale and I couldn't resist. I couldn't hide them because she was with me...Bad idea...she agreed that we'd wrap them for Christmas but that night she HAD to play with them. I caved! Here is the house she and daddy made.
Here is my big girl talking to Grandma on my cell phone. I can go do dishes while they talk now. It's pretty cool. Olivia loves to sing to Grandma and Grandma likes to listen....so it works out!

If you were closer, you'd have LOTS of people treat you like family. Or wait, you ARE family!! Wish you were closer, so we could all give you a break before the baby comes! I'm going to Sundara on Sunday and we could be spa buddies :)
What's a spa? I think I used to frequent those in my previous life!
Have fun! xoxoxo
lol! I know! I'm SOO excited! It's like a mini vacation for a whole day! I'm hoping this week goes by quickly. I get a pedicure from my friend Tiff sometime this week too. Then a night out with Jim for our Christmas party Saturday. It'll be a fun week. Miss you!!
I've got my baby shower on Saturday, so I'm looking forward to that!
