We headed north to celebrate a special birthday.  Olivia turned 5.  We got to celebrate with some of our dearest friends.  She was so happy to have her party while on vacation.

Who wouldn’t be?

Do you know what I love about this girl?  Olivia is by far the most cuddly child.  Our Liv is no stranger to telling people what they should wear either.  The girl has fashion sense.  Much more than I.  When all other kids are happily playing outside, she quietly comes in and folds laundry with me.  When she sits in the car next to me she smiles and tells me that she’s going to have lots of kids like me.  She loves washing dishes.  She loves sleeping in our bed.  She already asks when she can dye her hair– no joke.  Our Liv is growing up far too fast.  I’m trying to savor her.  All of who she is.

Happy Birthday Olivia!
