Olivia's Birthday

Olivia is obsessed with her birthday. It isn't her birthday, but she talks about it everyday. So here are some pictures from her birthday last year. Initially I was waiting to post these until I got the pictures my brother took at the actual party. Then I just got lazy. I still don't have the pictures.

We invited Alyssa, Olivia's birth mother, out for the weekend. We had such a great time with her! One of the best ideas we've ever had.

After picking Alyssa up at the airport we went to lunch. I admit I was a little nervous about how Olivia would act since she doesn't usually take to new people right away, and we hadn't seen Alyssa since Olivia was 17 months old. Olivia bonded with her immediately. It was so fun to watch.

The theme for Olivia's third birthday party was ABCs. Her favorite puzzle at the time was an alphabet puzzle that had been mine.

We had lots of balloons!

Michelle Bolender did a great job on the cake!

Olivia's Aunt Cadi helped the kids with a alphabet beading activity.

The day after the party. We all survived!
