Happy 2nd Birthday, Olivia Marie!

Two, too cute! I can't believe it has been two years since this beautiful bundle of energy came into our lives. I can still remember the day she was born so vividly (and we'll always know exactly how old our heat pump is!). She blessed me with a short labor and was only two days past her due date. Since then time has flown by so quickly and she has taught us just how much you can love something so small. Each day she does something new that makes me laugh and my heart sing. We love you with all of our hearts Olivia Marie!

We went with an Olivia the Pig theme.  In case you don't have a two-year-old in your house, author Ian Falconer created Olivia the Pig book series after being inspired by his niece.  Nickelodeon then turned the character into a cartoon series complete with a theme song.  Olivia is a precocious six-year-old, with a vivid imagination and wonderful sense of adventure.  An excellent role model for our own Olivia! 

As with any party, it's all about the dress.  I was super excited when I found someone on Etsy who had designed this gem.  Livi was also very happy to have a dress with her favorite girl "YaYa" on it.

Olivia was very excited to have two of her very best girl friends, Isabella and Isabelle, come and celebrate with her.  They all played very well together and were troopers with the games!

Time for cake!  Lucky for us, my friend Elizabeth is a baker on top of being a school psychologist.  Not only are her cakes delicious, she is awesome with a theme.  Oddly enough, Olivia didn't really like being the center of attention when it was time to sing.  When everyone gathered around, she became very shy!

We were so lucky to have so many friends and family with us to celebrate! Unfortunately by the end, Livi was tired of having her picture taken!

She was also blessed with many, many wonderful gifts! Clothes, toys, books, a zoo membership, and $$$ for future...what more could a girl ask for?!? Although, her reaction to the princess panties from Cheryl was priceless!  I've never seen a kid so excited about underwear.
