Livi's 3rd Birthday and Party

Happy 3rd Birthday Livi!

Livi's 1st Birthday!

Livi's 2nd Birthday Livi's 3rd Birthday

I started asking Liv where she wanted her birthday party back in January. I gave her three options. 1, at a bouncing place 2, bowling and 3, Rolly Pollies. Liv without hesitation...ROLLY POLLIES!

A quick Family shot!

Needless to say that's where her 3rd birthday party was. As soon as we walked in Liv ran in, took her shoes off and started palying while Tim and I were carring her party stuff in.

The first thing Liv ran for...

Liv was so excited to see Rosie

The foam pit (and believe me...it's a workout!)

This is what Livi looked like after all the kids left and we were cleaning up. Needless to say...she, well let me rephrase...WE (haha) took a nap!

After we got got up from our nap, Liv opened up all of her presents. It looks like Christmas!

We all had a fun time at Liv's birthday party. I cant wait to see what next year brings!

Toybox

So, the other day Tim and I received the message below from Colleen (Liv's Daycare) "While I was making sandwiches Olivia went downstairs to play. A few minutes later I went to get her for lunch, and found her sitting over the toy box, peeing in it! Well, I told her that she could never go potty anywhere except the bathroom and she had to sit in time out for 2 minutes. I think I scared her (although I did not, nor do I ever, yell) because she knew better and she was cought. I explained that the toys would be dirty with germs and the bathroom was the only place where germs could get flushed away. She got VERY upset to the point where I had to hold her on my lap and tell her she is such a good girl but just did a naughty thing. She was crying pretty hard - I guess because I can count on one hand the number of times she's gotten in trouble here. She always behaves for me and this was really just odd. No one was in the bathroom and there was really no reason for it except her pants were a little wet, so probably felt it was an emergency. I told her next time to just yell for me and I'll run her to the bathroom. She is fine now, and did eventually eat her lunch. I told her I would not tell Jimmy or anyone why she was in time out because when Jimmy asked her she said she was not going to talk about it. I just wanted to let you know because she was so upset and wanted her Mommy and Daddy to come and take her home. Like I said, she's fine now and playing. The whole thing just about broke my heart - she's so hard to discipline because she really wants to be a good girl and getting in trouble is so upsetting to her. I hope you know I am very careful not to hurt her feelings, and tell her all the time what a good girl she is. Okay - on with the day!" This was an email that I was not ready to get. I didn't know if I shoudl laugh or yell at her when I picked her up. Ahhh....the memories that this little monkey is creating for us!

Christmas 2010

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Livi asked Santa for Baby All Gone and Playdoh. Boy, dont you wish that life always stayed that simple? I know I do.

So Christmas morning came and what do you know...SANTA STOPPED AT OUR HOUSE and there were so many presents were underneath the tree.

Mom-Mom and Grandpa were the first ones to stop by. They were walking in as Liv was walking down the steps. Perfect Timing!

So, Grandpa, Mom-Mom, Daddy and myself sat down to watch Liv open her presents from Santa. Santa Came!

(and yes, all of these presents are for Livi she must have been a really good girl!)

More pictures to come...lost the SD card. So when it pops up, I will finish posting our 2010 Christmas pictures.
