catching up before christmas

i'm so ready for christmas to get here. i keep imagining olivia on christmas morning being all misty eyed b/c she soooo happy but i have a feeling it's not going to be like that! maybe next year!

so, my good friends merideth and montana FINALLY had their baby girl last week so i took them dinner last night. molly is just a precious little girl! i can't wait for her and olivia to be great friends! holding and "playing" with her made me long for another little baby. maybe i shouldn't go visit them anymore! haha! quick story - so a while back (maybe several years ago) montana went on a golf trip with a group of really random boys. one, pj, had a pretty severe drug problem and the drugs had really messed up his sinus. he had a horrible deviated septum (i have no idea if i spelled all that correctly) and could push his nose all the way into his head. how crazy is that?!?! drugs are BAD, people.

a lady here in town was painting plates for christmas so i got one for myself! i've been on the lookout for the perfect "cookies for santa" plate since last year. just never found the RIGHT one. (this mind-set could also explain why i haven't had a tree topper in several years...) i just love the way it turned out!

and lastly, rett made cupcakes for olivia to take to daycare today. their little party isn't until tmrw but since i'm off work she won't be there and he wanted her to participate in some way. i'm thinking she quite possibly had the cutest cupcakes there!

we're leaving tomorrow afternoon for the 'boro. can't wait to spend time with the fam enjoying the holiday!
