Christmas in Utah

We were fortunate enough to be able to go home for Christmas for 8 days.  The time went by too quickly, but we were thankful for every moment we had there.  The kids got to experience snow and loved every minute of it.  Olivia loved going out with Grandpa and shoveling snow.  We also got the chance to go on an old sleigh pulled by Clydestale horses with my family.  It was so fun, a little cold, but definitely a fun famiy experience.  We were very sad to leave especially Olivia because she is so attached to my Dad.  She keeps asking daily when we are going to get back on the airplane to go see "Papa."

Thanksgiving

This year we stayed here in South Carolina and celebrated Thanksgiving with our closest friends.  It was a beautiful day 70 degrees and the food was fabulous.  It was hard being away from family but comforting to be with such great friends.

Halloween

This post is a little behind but here it goes.  We had a fabulous and funfilled Halloween week.  Raleigh and I went to Boo at the Zoo with our kiddos.  This was so fun and Olivia knew exactly what to do when it came to Trick or Treating around the zoo.  We attended Olivia's Halloween parade and party at school. And Halloween night we went to a party at a local church where we trick or treated again, jumped in bouncy houses, had a pony ride and just good times with friends.  Our kiddos were Rapunzel and Pascal.  I just love these two them so much.

Welcome Levi Wayne Larsen

Our little bundle of joy Levi joined our little family on May 30, 2012.  He weighed 6lbs 15oz and he was 19 1/2 inches long.  We love this little boy so much.  Olivia was so excited to be a big sister and the look on her face when she saw him was priceless.  My birth was fairly uneventfull and I only pushed for a total of 3 minutes with this little guy, compared to two hours with Olivia, this was easy.  Mr. Levi is full of love and has so much hair.

Here are my super cute pictures by Raleigh Bledsoe.

He's home!!! After a long 8 months Josh is finally home.  Olivia was so cute when he got off the airplane, she ran right up to him and coudn't stop hugging him.  It was so cute and such a tender moment.  Life is finally back to normal for a few weeks until Levi arrives.

Olivia turns 2!!

I can't believe my little girl is two. Time has really flown by especially the last year with all of the changes we have been through. She is such a big girl. She has a lot of sas but we love her. She is putting sentences together and learning to go potty like a big girl. We miss Daddy so much but he was able to Skype for her whole birthday party. She choose princess's when we were shopping for party supplies. No surprise to me because she is obsessed with Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Ariel, and Tangled.

Josh and I are so thankful for the wonderful spirit Olivia has brought into our lives and continues to bring. We love her so much!
