Holiday Recaps

What, already less than two weeks til Christmas?!  Better document that we were alive for the two previous months.

First off, Halloween!  Well, it happened.  We celebrated a few days before by going to a pumpkin patch, but Becky unfortunately had to work the night of the ward Trunk-or-Treat and Halloween night.  Between Mickey's Halloween party and the Trunk-or-Treat, Olivia had plenty of candy, so she didn't go real trick-or-treating on Halloween...maybe next year!




We couldn't say no to another pony ride, she's such an adorable li'l jockey!
Looks like the beginning of her sugar coma...

November 6th was a lovely day - Nick's 28th birthday!  We partied by opening presents, a Disneyland trip, and some yummy peach cobbler.





Happy happy birthday, Nicholas!
In the middle of November we took a tiny trip to Las Vegas for a couple days.  It was pretty much like this the whole time:



Boy, Olivia loves those silly boy cousins of hers!



A few days later our Thanksgiving vacation began!  We flew out to Georgia to spend the holiday with Nick's family.  We spent a few days in Atlanta before driving down to spend a week in Fort Walton Beach.

Scoping out the beach
It was kinda chilly the first couple days, but that didn't stop this little girl from jumping in and having fun!  Towards the end of the week, the weather was absolutely perfect.

The finished product!



The day after Thanksgiving was out sweet girl's third birthday!  We spent the day (of course) playing on the beach.  




Olivia, Aunt Megan, and Uncle Josh
That evening we did the traditional round of Goofy Golf.  Olivia was pretty much a natural.


After golfing, we did presents and cake!  All in all, it was a great birthday for our cute girl.

Happy girl!

Sadly, our week at the beach came to an end. 



We spent a couple more days in Atlanta before we had to fly home.  It was sad to say goodbye to everyone, but Olivia is finally getting over it by counting down the days til Christmas!
