Hobart friends

We had friends over early on this week for a little reunion. In case you don't know the story, the boys were all born within 10 days from each other and it just so happens we all attended the same New Years wedding a couple of years ago...We got together last year, but they were only a couple of months old so this year was so fun! Ollie woke up to his two favorite things in the world...kids and dogs! Ollie tends to play a little rough these days and as you can see in the pics, scared poor William to tears! He finally gave up and played with Nittany who was more than happy to oblige if it meant getting away from Hogan! She didn't even mind being Ollie's personal chair! We took a few group shots, but Ollie wanted Daddy that day and screamed during our pic and William wanted his mommy so he was upset during the boys' pic. We got to spend a couple of days with Uncle Matt & Aunt Lauren which was so fun! I can't even imagine what next year will look like!

Christmas at the Kamerys

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas at the Kamerys. Grandma got all of us girls matching pjs so of course we needed a picture for the blog! You can tell how excited they are! Ollie opened a couple of gifts, but was more interested in the boxes. He loves climbing in things these days. We hope everyone had a great holiday!

Cousin Jackson..and blocks

We have been waiting all day for Shanell and Jackson to get here from NC. Since Ollie is kind of sick he would play and sleep intermittently. As a result, Aunt Tiffer and Daddy had a block building contest during nap time. (Daddy won!) You wouldn't even know that Ollie isn't feeling well when Jackson got here. He was so excited to see him and wouldn't leave him alone! It was so cute.

Christmas with the Gildners

We had Christmas at my mom's yesterday, on Christmas Eve. Ollie was spoiled, as usual. Grandma Sally got him pjs, books, and a steering wheel for the car. Uncle Jason and Melody gave him all kinds of toys: an Elmo firestation, books, Mega blocks, and to be honest I can't even remember all of the stuff without going through it! We had a great time. We got the kids little laptops which they loved. Unfortunately, Ollie threw up that morning, which led to more throwing up this morning. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

Big Boy Haircut!

Oliver has had a head full of hair since the day he was born. Luckily, we had Aunt Tiffer here to help us "manage" it. I even had to trim it a few times myself. Alas, the time has come to get a big boy hair cut. As you can see in the progression of pictures, he was not at all happy about it and William had to sit with him. He wouldn't even wear the cape so he was covered in hair afterwards. It is so short! It makes him look like such a little man! We went to Buffalo for a family Christmas party so once my mom sends me those I will post the new do!

Practice makes perfect!

Well practice makes perfect, right? Ollie has been practicing how to open presents. I had my friends from work over last week and Mrs. Hoover brought Ollie some magnetic trucks. He loved them! The bottom pic is just one of his presents from us that I gave him early. Daddy wasn't home so he couldn't stop us :)

4 Wheeling Fun!

Avery came over this afternoon to play for a little bit. They had a blast riding on his little four wheeler (Aunt Jamie would be so proud!). Luckily, you can't see the back of Avery's neck where my little bully was grabbing the whole time! It was hard to get a picture that wasn't too blurry because they wanted to be moving all the time!
