7 months!

Here we are at 7 months! Two teeth, sitting up, rolling over, but still not sleeping through the night! 

Happy happy!

Those legs!!!

I could laugh with her all day long.

She quickly grew tired of the posing.

Sitting up keeps her stationary...for now. 

That grin just melts me!

Cuddling with a couple of her buddies.

Chirstmas 2014

After the drama of last Christmas, I am happy to report that this year everyone was (relatively) healthy! We started with a Christmas Eve visit at Gaga's house--

What did Gaga find for Olson?

Blade! Which obviously was a hit!

Gaga even got a rare hug from Liddy Costen!

Mary Carson sitting in her favorite spot--Gaga's lap!

Christmas morning started at our house, and it was not what we expected! Olson ran out and ripped open his presents, but Liddy Costen would not get near the tree or her gifts! Fortunately Olson was there to open them for her. 

Olson checking out his new Radiator Springs track

LC was perfectly happy eating cereal away from the festivities

Mary Carson's first Christmas! 

Attempting to have LC open a present, which clearly she wanted no part of.  Olson, however, was happy to help.

Happy with her Little Einsteins Rocket

Next on the agenda, Grammy's house!

Checking my heartbeat with his new stethoscope

Still enjoying Rocket!

Olson was quick to help open everyone's presents!

One thing I've noticed this Christmas--I'm having trouble getting as many pictures as I'd like now that we have three kids!

Oh, Uncle Jeff.

Holiday Visitors!

We had a special treat in December--a visit from the Carson family! It was great to see Grandma and PawPaw, and Olson LOVED having Will and John here. The time flew by, and we had a lot of fun!

Watching the first snow of the year fall while waiting for everyone to arrive! 

Going to see "Rudolph"! Olson had to be like the big boys with his hands in his coat pockets. So cute.

Will loved that Liddy Costen would hold his hand.

Waiting for the show to start!

Riding the rickshaw back to the car.

Fun times in Raleigh! Can't wait for next time!

Pullen Holiday Express

I had heard how fun the Pullen Holiday Express is, and it certainly did not disappoint! We had great weather, it was so well organized, and the kids loved it! Well, the older two--Grammy volunteered to watch Mary Carson. Tough job, I know. 

Family fun! 

The first year Olson actually liked Santa!

Liddy Costen was still unsure of him.

Excited for the train!

Olson and Mommy

So sweet, and so serious.

LC loved the carousel! 

She just stood in the "snow"--loved it! 

No better way to top off the evening than with dinner at Chick-fil-a!
