TOO FUN!!!! We started out clean...

...Just before getting into our buggy...We bought the bandannas after the state we saw the group before us come back in - boy are we glad we did!!!
...after the first "puddle" there was no sense in trying to stay clean...or warm...or dry...lol...I SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN...lol
SOAKED and MUDDY (it had just poored rain about an hour before we arrived at the ranch!
...STILL having fun though!

HOLA!!!

Olivia did pick up some Spanish while we were in the Dominican Republic...It didn't take long at all for her to add "Hola", "Adios" and "Ciao ciao" to her vocabulary...I have to admit it was SOOO CUTE!!! Now that we are home she still does throw out the odd "Hola" and "Ciao ciao", but usually only if prompted...




HAPPY HOUR!!!

...Even Miss Olivia grew accustomed to happy hour down in the Dominican....Not to worry though, I assure you ALL her drinkie-poo's were non-alcoholic!!!!




A fun night out...and our little party girl!!!

Dancing with Daddy! Olivia did ALOT of dancing on our trip...she loved the Caribbean music!!!
....she's still a bit difficult to capture on film...lol
Our night out at the Chinese restaurant!
Grandma and Olivia!
Dad, Olivia and I !!! When she is surrounded by Light's, you can definitely see some in her!!!

...and our hours by the pool!!!



WE LOVED THE BEACH!!!!












Olivia's VERY FIRST time in the ocean!

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
This is EARLY in the morning...we had the beach to ourselves! Olivia perhaps wasn't too sure about the ocean at first, but it didn't take long for her to LOVE it!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Light!!!

Olivia LOVES when her grandparents come to visit her!!!

It mean she's even more spoiled with love and also that she has even more loyal subject to attend to her every need and want!!!

We really enjoyed our time with Grandma and Grandpa who came over the holidays!!! We not only took a family trip together to spend Christmas in the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), but then they even stayed after words to take care of Olivia for us during the day while we were back at work (and our daycare was closed for the holiday)...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING GRANDMA AND GRANDPA LIGHT!!!
