December 13 - Olivia

One of the book stores was going to have Olivia make a visit. Well, Olivia got held up in the states and couldn't make it but they still read stories and did some activities. There was a coloring contest and a treasure hunt. The winners of the coloring contest were funny. I have never seen a child under the age of two color in the lines with perfect color choices for appropriate objects (pink for a pig with red and white clothing where as Lilly would choose some shade of blue for the pig with a rainbow colored shirt). But the under two who won her division should really be an artist cause she's got skills.

As for the treasure hunt, they laminated a couple of pictures of Olivia and put them around the store. The person in charge counted to three and 50 children ran out of the cafe screaming. Lilly wanted to join them but she's not keen on the crowds so we went a different direction and found one of the laminated Olivia's right away. Lilly won the Olivia Christmas book and a couple of posters. It was a good day!
