Ben + Tori: December 2012

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

I could not decide if we should put up our big tree this year because I knew Tanner would just go crazy with it. We decided a 4 foot tree on our side table would be the best idea. While Tanner was napping we put up the tree so when he woke up he was so excited! He also pulled down all the ornaments he could reach! Good thing we love him! Nah it was so fun to see his eyes just light up when he saw the tree. Christmas is so much more fun with kids!

Dont mind the nap hair lol he really had just woke up

Wow I can reach them

He loved it

Vegas

Back in the day Ben and I would go down to Vegas any chance we got, then our little Tanner came along and he was lots more fun then Vegas! So it had been awhile since Ben and I had gone on vacation just the two of us. We decided to leave Tanner with our parents and getaway. My brother Talmage and his wife Jessica came with us.

We ate breakfast at our favorite spot called Mon Ami Gabi. It is a restaurant across from the Bellagio hotel and we eat out on the terris and watch the water show. It was so fun.

Our pool had a section that had sand so Tal and Ben decided to have some fun! They were like children it was awesome!

We went to Freemont Street, its the old vegas strip. You can basically get anything fried we stuck with fried oreos.

Giant tree in the Bellagio showroom.

It was so fun! They sung and danced like celebrities and surprisingly they were pretty great!

We had such a fun trip, but we were ready to come back to our little munchkin!

OLSON PARTY OF 4

Guess What. . .

That is right we are expecting! We are so thrilled to be adding another cute little bug to our family! Tanner and his sibling will be 17 months apart! I wanted my kids close together so here goes nothing! I honestly love Tanner more each day and I cant even imagine what it will be like with two. I get super worried that Tanners world will just be turned upside down when the baby comes but I know he will love having someone to play with besides me! He is such a little social butterfly! He thrives when he is with other kids so I am sure this is going to be an adventure we will love every minute of it!

Halloween

We love Halloween! I say we as in Tanner and I! Ben, not so much! Although, this year he did enjoy having Tanner dress up. It was super cute! For Halloween we went to our parents work to trick or treat there. We went to our families houses to trick or treat and then to our friends Jen and Chan for the night!
