Traveling to San Diego

Thanksgiving was a week ago today and I still feel like I cam catching up trying to get back into my regular routine.  Audrey had her first field trip with Celebration Kids this morning.  She usually does not go to school on Thursdays, but we tagged along anyways.  It was fun, Audrey got to ride the gold line "train" with her classmates from the Mission station in South Pasadena to the Del Mar station in Pasadena.  From the Del Mar station we walked across the street to a park where everyone got to run around and play. We also had a picnic lunch.  I am so happy that I am able to participate in Audrey's school.  I feel very blessed that I am able to stay at home and not work! 

Audrey and Olivia have been playing together very nicely lately. Audrey loves her little so much, and if we have a problem it is usually Audrey squeezing the love out of Olivia.

The weekend before Thanksgiving we went to San Diego to visit Grandma Kathie. We made a special trip that weekend to see Joe's older sister Theresa and her family.  We only get to see them about once a year.  Here Audrey is playing in the bed that grandma made for her with Izzy.

There was a house full of family. Audrey is posing here with her older cousin Izzy, Olivia, baby cousin Maggie, Grandma Kathie and Grams.  It was almost impossible to get a good picture of everyone!

Olivia had her first taste of chocolate cake!

We also had a house full of dogs!

Aunt Jen took this photo of the 4 girls before we left Sunday morning.   It is too bad that Izzy and Maggie live so far away.

After we returned from our quick trip to San Diego we were tired!  We decided to munch on some yummy treats and shared a few with olivia.   She sucked the dark chocolate off of the chocolate covered pretzels and loved every taste!  As you can see here she was a happy baby that day!

After eating all of her chocolate Olivia needed a bath.  Joe and I decided that it was time to ditch the big plastic bath that sat in the kitchen sink. Olivia had her first real bubble bath with her big sister Audrey.

Olivia really did enjoy herself.  She now is bathing with her sister all of the time.  It is so cute watching her discover her abilities and limitations in the bath!

But with that said Olivia has to deal with her big sister in the bath.  Audrey was excited to wash Olivia's hair.  She survived!
