"It's a Hula-Day!"

Today we had fun at Aunt Jess and Uncle Chad’s house for a nice lunch with family.  We got to meet their new doggy, Maple.  She is really sweet.  It was nice seeing everyone and playing.  Oliver loves his uncles!  The girls had fun hula hooping in the driveway.  Oliver told Mommy that is was a “hula-day!”  She thought he meant holiday, but he made it clear that he meant “hula-day!”  Funny kid!

Later we had fun playing at home, taking a bath, and walking to Henry’s for groceries in the evening- we liked looking at all the Christmas lights on the way there!  We had a wonderful Sunday together. 

Uncle Chad playing with his brew in his garage.

Oliver was interested.

Chad makes good beer...Jess makes cute little heart, stars,
and bottle shaped ice cubes.

Hula Hooping...Their driveway is perfect for it!

She was really good at it!

Mommy got hoops for all her girls two years ago

for Christmas from Hoopnotica. 

Uncles playing with Oliver.  Oliver is so lucky!

Mommy wanted to share her favorite Christmas gift 

from Grammie.  Each one says a special message 

when you press their foot.

Charlie and Linus (Linus message is nice-but so serious,
Mommy enjoys the others a little better---they are more fun!!!)
