Happy 1st Birthday, Olivia!

The Birthday Girl!
Olivia is officially a one-year-old now! It doesn’t seem like that long ago that we brought her home from the hospital. She has changed so much and has completely developed her own personality.

The day we brought her home from the hospital...

One Year Old

We are so blessed to have her in our lives. Here are some pictures from her birthday celebrations.

Our pathetic attempt at a homemade birthday cake

Birthday Party at Church - attempting to eat cake

She begged for a fork instead of using her hands.

After finally sticking her hand in, she was amazed by the feeling of the sticky icing.

Making a mess...

Yummy!

Playing with her first birthday gift...musical maracas!

Opening a gift from Great Granny

Tearing paper off puzzles from Grandma Carol & Papaw Ray

Playing with her new Fridge Phonics
(Daddy spelled her name New York style)

Opening a gift from a lady at church

Playing with her gift from Mommy & Daddy

Eating cake again on her birthday - a little messier than she was at church

Notice the left piggy tail - she got icing in her hair and it made the piggy tail stand straight out!

She loved squeezing the icing in between her fingers over and over again!

This is the fastest we've ever seen her eat!

Happy 1st Birthday, Olivia Grace!

how fun! love all these pictures--happy birthday to our beautiful niece! those pigtails are too cute...they make her look SO big!

and I think your cake is cute--if you want to see pathetic, you should have seen what I attempted last year for Elijah. I just did a round cake, but attempted to make zebra stripes with chocolate frosting and write "happy birthday Elijah." It was so ugly I didn't even let anyone see it--I just drew a "1" on the other round cake and hid the first one!

can't wait to celebrate with that sweet girl in a couple of weeks!
