How did this little girl become this big girl? How did my wild, sassy, ALWAYS covered in something baby become a young lady of such kindness, magic, and charm? These are the questions a Mom has to ask herself.
Olivia is an absolute joy. She is a profound pleasure to both her Dad and I. She is so much amazing in such a small package. We love her with all our hearts.
She is pure imagination, so clever and quick on her feet. She cracks us up every day.
The happiness that only owning your very own set of Harry Potter can bring (and for those curious, that's The Office season 2 paused in the background):
Most of her gifts were, per request, books. She's building up a great little library for herself. She's been waiting for the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid for a long time, so she dug right in on that one.
She chose sugar donuts for breakfast, Blaze Pizza for lunch and KFC for dinner... the two of us went alone through the drive thru for that, singing along to Hamilton with our opera voices (we're super good at it and it's kind of our specialty).
Birthday party tomorrow (Mom shudders) and excitement looms large for that blessed event!
Daddy saws logs and we spent the last part of the evening tucked in watching the shows of her choice.
How we love this precious, amazing girl. She is the light of our lives.
After she opened her presents this afternoon the Double B and I told parts of all of their birth stories. They loved it! It was fun to remember each of those precious moments in our lives. I am a deeply flawed human being; but I have been, and am, so lucky and so blessed to be the mother of these four humans. It is the great honor and joy of my life.
Happy birthday, Olivia! I hope you will remember on your 16th, 24th, 38th, 66th, and clear up to your 95th birthday and every one in between, that you are the most loved little girl in all the land.
Thank you for being born.
