In December, we welcomed my sister, Anne, home from Afghanistan. Anne is in the Army National Guard and was deployed to Kandahar, Afganistan in May of 2009. She was supposed to be there for about a year, however her unit was called home in December. We are thrilled to have her back with us! 8 months is a long time for anyone, but she couldn't wait to come over and see how much her favorite (ok...only) niece had grown while she was gone. The best part about this visit was the fact that Olivia acted like Anne never left in the first place. She went right up to her when she came over and of course dragged her to her toy room to play!
Anne and Olivia along with her camel which was a gift from Afghanistan. The hat the camel is wearing is an army hat with "Kandahar Afghanistan" on the front, her name embroidered on the side, and her name in Arabic embroidered on the other side. Liv loves it!!
