Christmas from China

My dear friend Mandy in China sent use a Christmas package. I got 2 fleece shirts and 3 cd's. Olivia was given this.
They are doll furniture that you put together and paint. There was a bedroom set and a dinning room set.

And Mandy sent this Chinese doll to go with it.

Olivia was very patient until the last piece on putting them together.

We just have to finish the dinning room set and then she is off to Play.

Thank you so much Mandy!

Castle Tea

Glen Eyrie Castle, Colorado Springs

English Tea Time
We were served English tea, Spiced Fruit tea, and pastries.
Very yummy, and Olivia was a champ on trying everything.
Real Tea time is not her thing, but great to experience it once.

Fancy Nancy

The school did this for a fundraiser. K-3rd Grade was able to participate.

Dress up fancy, and the fancier the better.
Some of the girls and Olivia

Olivia's Teacher even helped out. Story time was this room.

Here they were learning how to walk Fancy with a banana on there head.

Lot of Arts and crafts

Painting Dress up Dolls

Then in the Library they had a scavenger hunt, finding the letters to spell FANCY, and learned new big words for different things in the library. Olivia found the Dictionary first. She was thrilled.

We had an awesome afternoon. She even got a Fancy Nancy book to keep.
