Smith Family Christmas

On Christmas Day we went over to Grammy and DeDat's house for our final round of holiday celebrations and a little family time with the Smiths. Ollie got to celebrate with his other cousins, Scout, Penley and Adali. Penley and Adali really enjoyed "helping" Ollie open his presents. We had a great time with Gary's parents and his sisters family and we enjoyed a wonderful christmas feast of ham and turkey! Thanks Brenda!

Harvey Family Christmas

On Christmas Eve all of my siblings, their kids and significant others get together at my dads house. We had a great time celebrating christmas and getting to see everyone! Just a few pictures getting all the action during present opening and a couple silly ones.

Christmas Cousins

Ollie got to hangout with his cousins, Wells and Caroline in Charlotte for a few days during the christmas holiday. They had fun playing together, eating together and posing for their christmas pictures together, in matching pjs and all!

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Ollie has been helping me get the house all ready for Christmas.  He has seemed to enjoy hanging the lights and the garlands.  I think what he liked best was going hiking in the yard to find the greenery and the pine cones.

Helping me with the lights

 



 

 Hey look, a pine cone

 

 Of course we had to stop and swing while looking for our festive decorations

 

Yea! Christmas Tree!



Into Everything

Ollie is into everything these days. It is fun to watch him explore and figure things out. He really has grown up so fast. He went from crawling to pulling up in a matter of weeks it seems. Now we are practicing climbing and walking along anything and everything he can get his hands on. His new absolute favorite thing is to climb the stairs. Super dangerous, but he loves it.

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we went to visit our cousins, Wells and Caroline and our Aunt Katy and Uncle Matt. They hosted the entire Harvey sibling crew plus significant others. Ollie had so much fun celebrating his birthday and thanksgiving with his cousins. Caroline and Ollie bonded over O's birthday gift and over breakfast thanksgiving morning. We have so much to be thankful for!!!

1Year Check Up

So our computer has completely died and I've got some catching up to do with the blog. Ollie went for his 1 year check up on Nov 20th. He weighed in at 24lbs 9oz and 30.5" long. He's in perfect health and growing right along schedule for his age. Poor guy got 4 shots and a finger prick...
