1/2/10 - BIRTHDAY DAY!!

Well, it's here!! Our little lady is ONE! It's still so hard to believe. It was a very emotional day, thinking back to a year ago...the day our lives changed forever...the day our lives became more complete. It's so amazing thinking about how far Olivia has come in just 12 little months! She is walking, saying some words, she has such an amazing, fun personality, she is so independent and just a complete joy to be around. We definitely hit the jackpot with her!



The day started with presents from mom and dad!!! We gave her some roses (which she enjoyed so very much), some Mickey Mouse books and her very own chair!!







After Presents, she did some playing and some marching about...seemingly very proud of being one! After some more playing, and some breakfast, it was nap time!! Giving mom and dad plenty of time to get ready for the big fiesta. We were so happy and overwhelmed to see Olivia surrounded by so many friends and family, she's so lucky to be so loved!!






After some lunch, LOTS of present opening, some indoor pinata fun and some cake (which did NOT go over so well), all of our party guests started to head out. We cleaned up the house, and a VERY tired Olivia was off to bed early. It seems to be exhausting being one!!




I'm coming back to edit this post. I forgot to post Olivia's 12 month photo!! We've taken a photo on her "birthday" every month since she was born. As a baby, we took them laying down, next to the remove for comparison. As a toddler, we take them with her standing next to our staircase ledge. It's so crazy to see the change in just a year!














Until tomorrow!!!

1/1/10 - A Not So Lazy Day

Well, it's the first of the year! I'm excited about this new 365 Project, and I'm really hoping I can keep up with it!!

Today was spent getting ready for Olivia's birthday...and spent being in total shock that tomorrow our little lady bug will be ONE! While the cats enjoyed some basking in the sun time, there was no cat napping for mom and dad!!! We spent the day cleaning the house and doing some last minute shopping...getting ready for the big fiesta. It was a long hectic day, but it will all be well worth it when we get to watch Olivia enjoy her big day.


We topped the day off by finishing up a year long art project...painting Olivia's name for her room!! We've been wanting to do it for SO long, and I'm so happy with how they turned out.






Until tomorrow!!!
