December was a fun and crazy month, but we are recovering. We all took a trip to Utah, Olivia and I skiied one day. Everyone had fun in the snow and had fun visiting relatives. We're all back in school/work now, but Jesse has had an ear infection this week, so Glenn and I have been shifting off half days at work.
The biggest news and surprise Christmas present for December was that Glenn got a new truck. It seems that I had a little fender bender in Sandy, Utah. But we needed to get back to CA for Olivia's birthday party. There were no rental cars due to bad weather accidents and skiing vacations. So in the end, my brother Chris got us a great deal on Glenn's dream truck. I'm very excited and plan on doing A LOT of camping this summer. All in all, it worked out well because we really needed to just bite the bullet and get the new truck.
Jesse is walking now and is quite proud of herself. She walked holding someone's hand for the longest time, so we are proud of her too. She is now into everything, but still likes toilet paper and electrical outlets the best it seems. Since we got the new kitchen, I realized we are not as baby proofed as we were with Olivia when I saw Jesse walking through the kitchen carrying the dish detergent. Need to work on that I guess.
Olivia is doing really well at school. She reads full books for us at night, but still tries to con us into reading to her. We are easily conned. She is having fun with Spanish, Daisies, Ballet and this week starts her "Annie" class at SD Jr. Theater. She really likes the songs, so I think she'll have a good time.
