Happy Thanksgiving!

This week was very exciting, Olivia's first Thanksgiving!  We spent this year with the Fawson side of the family.  We went up early to hang out with everyone.

Olivia and her Grandpa Chris.  Oh and her best friend Pig Wubbie.

Storytime with Grandpa.  She's started to look at books when you read them to her.

Cuddling with Grandma Christa.

Olivia's aunts use any excuse to give her a present -- a Thanksgiving gift!  This time it's goggles for use skiing or ATVing.  It looks like she's going to have to do some serious growing before she's ready for these.

The family at Thanksgiving

Olivia and her Uncle Scott (Bob's sister's husband).  She is very interested in the food preparation.

Everyone was so excited to play with Olivia.

And she loved all of the attention!

She sat up to Thanksgiving dinner in various people's arms.  The eating was very interesting to her, and she quietly watched all of the goings on with fascination.  Next time this holiday rolls around, she will be able to eat everything, we're so excited!

Another thing the holidays bring with them, are fun visitors we don't get to see that often!

Olivia's Aunt Didi flew in from law school in California.  They enjoyed meeting for the second time.

Bob's old time friend and mission companion, Mike brought his baby girl from Denver to meet Olivia.  Her name is Kate Mae and she was four weeks old.  She made Olivia look like a giant baby in comparison.  We already forgot how little brand new babies can be!

The babies are holding hands, but Kate didn't much care for it.  We think Olivia's strong grip intimidated her...

She continues to get bigger, but we think she's growing at a slightly slower pace now.

Note how she kicked off her sock the second we put her down.  She hates socks and it is impossible to keep them on her!

She loves storytime, especially with her dad.

Note:  Bob was participating in an event known as 'Movember' (Moustache + November) which is why his facial hair has looked so crazy in some of these pictures.  He has since shaved his face, and is growing his beard back.

Breaking news: We were going to post about how she is really close to rolling over.  (If you remember, she was rolling over at 2 weeks and then hasn't since.)  She would get so close and then freak out, like this picture shows.  But as we were writing this blog post, she rolled over from tummy to back three times!  She was very pleased with herself and screamed in glee.




Finally, we were messing around this week and got some fun video footage.  Bob quickly threw it into a movie and posted it on the internet, we hope you enjoy!
