I remember enjoying brithdays SO much as a kid! It began with anticipation, oh months in advance! Laying in bed the night before your birthday, willing yourself to fall alseep so the big day would finally be here. Waking up to a pile of presents on the kitchen table and a special birthday breakfast, having a party, and just being the special person of the day!
Did you ever know that your parents were not as excited as you were? Or that they were even sad?? I didn't! Maybe my parents were just excited for me to move past wheter year I was in...I was a little, well we'll use the term "spunky", as a youngster. Probably similar to Olivia...maybe vivacious would be a good term... Anyhow, I was sad on Olivia's birthday! Just a little, of course, because I was thrilled to celebrate with her. But my baby girl is 2!! She isn't a baby anymore!
Well we had a great day, starting with dinner with my parents the night before. (Darn blogger for not putting my pictures in the right order, and darn me for never remembering about that!!)
We went to Adventure Park to play with our friends Marci & Michael (Michael's birthday is the day before Olivia). She had a blast!
Monkey bread for breakfast at Daddy's work.
Just proof that I was there too...
Yum!!

I love birthdays too! Just thinking about that monkey bread makes me hungry. What a great day.
She could NOT be any cuter. When Elijah finally meets her, he's going to start stumbling over his babbles.. :)
I'm glad for the fun day for you guys! I know exactly what you mean...I had butterflies in my tummy for a few days leading up to Elijah's birthday, but I was also a little sad and teary. Such a fun day.
I love the pig cake. :) Happy belated birthday, sweet girl!
