Latest visit with the grandparents in San Clemente

My dad took all these - probably why they turned out so good :)

For Grammy...

Because i would otherwise probably never update this blog again (out of sheer laziness!) Here are some more recent pictures and (yay!) a video finally! With our new camera! Hope you enjoy Grammy! Love you!

this is my favorite picture of Ollie right now...

one thing is for sure - he loves bathtime!

Oliver is one!

and in typical Layna slacker style we didn't roll out the red carpet or anything like that...we just had a little family birthday party for Ollie and Bella - who were both sick and miserable. But it made for some pretty funny pictures - like Oliver crying as we sang happy birthday. They did have some fun times in the bath after the festivities were over. On Ollie's actual birthday we broke out the cake again (the same cake cause he didn't touch it at the party!) hoping for the classic picture of cake smeared all over his face but I guess he just doesn't like blue dye #40. I suppose that's a good thing. Anyway here are the pictures we did get!

Oliver's first Christmas (and Chanukah, but we didn't get any pictures of him eating a latke)

I think it was a pretty typical first christmas - lots and lots of fun presents and Oliver's favorites were the paper, box, and bows. Especially any ribbon. But it was so cute anyway and we got some funny pictures of him surrounded by gifts (as you can see!)
