Everyday with the Doyles: Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Wow where to begin! We have been busy filling our house with the smells, sights and sounds of Christmas. It has taken us longer to decorate the house than ever before because of our little Ollie. Although he has no clue what is going on I still wanted him to be a part of everything. We didn't buy any new decorations this year but I did buy an ornament for Oliver's first Christmas! Here are some pictures of the decorating...

Ollie helping with the lights!

Putting his first ornament on the tree

At my office this year I promised my staff a Saints themed Christmas!! We decorated the tree and the mantle in all BLACK AND GOLD. These are some of the pictures that will be on our Christmas Card for work. WHO DAT!!!!

Now back to Oliver. Since our little one has "a few" Christmas outfits I decided that he should wear one every Sunday to church in December! So here is the first Sunday...

Standing by his Daddy's chair...so adorable!

I think green just might be my new favorite color on him!

Ollie and Daddy!!

Also this past Saturday was Ollie's 6 month pictures/Christmas pictures. I prayed that his forehead would be scratch free and his skin would not go crazy!! It worked he looked adorable and we even managed to catch some smiles!! We had to act like complete idiots but who cares!! He just gets so serious when the camera comes out. He did so well seating up by himself and standing up while holding onto a chair. I can't believe how fast he is growing! The pictures are AMAZING and I have no clue how I will choose!!! I did manage to choose 2 for the Christmas cards and they should be arriving to me by Friday!!

Just one of the beautiful pictures of Oliver!!

He amazes me more and more everyday. He has so much to say and babbles back to us all the time. The other night Jacob was reading him his ABC book and every time Jacob would say a letter and the word Ollie would talk right back to him! It was so cute. He has to turn off the light every time we leave his room and he is still OBSESSED with paper! He has taught me so much about myself!! I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life!!!!

OUR DOGS ARE MISSING!!! THEY ESCAPED FROM THE BACK YARD AND UNFORTUNATELY HAD NO COLLARS ON!!! WE ARE HOPING AND PRAYING THAT WE FIND THEM BUT UNTIL THEN WE PRAY THAT THEY ARE OKAY!!!
