I can't believe that my baby girl will be 3 tomorrow. We celebrated her 1st birthday right after we moved here.
We had all of the birthday festivities today since Sundays are usually pretty busy for us. Of course, the day was full of Olivia fun from sun up to sun down.
Birthday Waffles
"I'm free!"
(3)
Olivia started opening her gifts, but then ordered her brothers and Daddy to open them for her. She just sat back and watched. haha
(This gift is from the boys. They were so excited to get her a blow dryer.)
This is what every 3 year old girl needs.
After all of the great gifts she opened, I think that this balloon ranked pretty high up on the favorite chart.
I am not kidding when I say that this is the way Olivia wakes up every morning. She jumps up and down and we sing a "Good Morning!" song to her.
Goodbye, baby bed.
Hello, big girl bed!
(It's 9:30 and I think that she still may be awake. Here are a few things she did after we told her "Goodnight."
1.) Played with her new mixer.
2.) Played with her owls.
3.) Set her owls outside of her door.
4.) Came in our room, ready to hang out.
5.) Put her two My Little Ponies on her dresser side by side with their corresponding hair brushes.
6.) Played with her mixer again.
7.) Made Jay and me laugh over and over again when we "caught" her.
Birthday lunch at Sushi Cafe
Liv and I spent a few minutes taking some 3 year old pictures.
More to come.
The "pink and green brownie cupcakes" that Olivia has been talking about for over a month.
Happy Birthday chu chu!
YUM!
Olivia and her favorite brothers
Olivia was so excited to find out that she got not one, but TWO My Little Ponies.
Yes, her brothers were opening the gifts for her.
Ironing "like Mommy".
Oh, Olivia. How could I ever express the joy that you bring to my life every single day?
Your sense of humor keeps me sane. Your silly grin always brings a smile to my face. Your hugs and kisses are so sincere. Your "I love you," melts my heart. When you jump in puddles, I want to jump too. When you sing at the top of your lungs, I never want you to quit. The way you draw a crowd makes me wonder who you will be. Your bouncy curls remind me of Tigger. The way you dance cracks me up. How much you love pink makes this lover of green shake her head. The day you were born was one of the best days of my life.
I love you, Olivia Anne. You are loved for sure.

I think it's hysterical that she sat back and let others open her gifts for her! What a princess!! Who knows how to iron, by the way. Too cute! Can't wait to see ALL the birthday pics!
Amy, thanks for all of the birthday pics!! I'm anxious to see more:) Waffles for breakfast and sushi for lunch... what more could an "I'm Free(3)" birthday girl want? Well, I guess 2 My Little Ponies were perfect!
I can't stop grinning after looking at all of the pics of Liv.
Olivia, your smile just makes my day:)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that picture of her with the cupcake in her mouth! And the jumping in her baby bed makes me think of Ethan. We do this same thing when he wakes up every morning~! I love these years!
I love you too Olivia Anne! It looks like she did have the best 3 year old birthday ever! Now I'm really excited for Sadie's birthday.
Mom- I wish you could have witnessed it. I just stood there and shook my head.
Jean- I need to post more pictures.
Emily- I love them, too.
Rachel- It's so fun to celebrate with Liv because we still haven't incorporated friends into her birthday. So we just hang out all day and do Olivia kind of stuff. Such a blast! I wish we would have been that simple with the boys from the beginning. Because we actually celebrate her all day...not fret over the party.
