Dear Olivia,
If I could sew, you would have been Ron Burgundy for Halloween. (Maybe Ronda Burgundy). Since I can't sew, you were a ballerina.
You also carved a pumpkin with dad. Actually dad carved the curious George pumpkin while you watched PBS on the ipad and mom was burning the pumpkin seeds in the toaster oven.
After spending a day with Aunt Amber, your hair was curled and you came home with donkey teeth.
When we visit daddy at work, the plan is to get in, get out, and not disrupt any patients or create a scene. Things never seem to go as planned...
And...from a LONG time ago...Here are photos of you with cousins, an alien, an over-eager-lego lady, and a camel. There is always a surge of emotions at the State fair. Usually at some point we get claustrophobic and too-tired...this year legoland topped us off.

Then there was your first day of school. Your teacher, Miss Beverly is about your height, and she is old and sweet, and bossy...Slightly intimidating for being so small:)
You also have mom's 2012 taxes-Hunger Games folder, since mom didn't want to go buy one. This has set you up to be the coolest kid in preschool (you can thank me later).
Pumpkin Patch/face painting with Amelia
Pretend horseback riding at Nana and Papa's
Real horseback riding at Anna's bday party. Technical difficulties w/ mom's camera...grr.
Then, the pony ate a piece of bday cake and ALL of the kids watched and thought that was so cool, except YOU...because you would rather eat your OWN cake than watch a pony eat cake.
After the horseback riding, Anna opened her presents. You really wanted her presents and asked her if you could buy them.
love my entrapaneur,
mom
