Olivia's 3rd Birthday

My little girl is almost 3 years and 1 week old. Man. Besides Aidan catching Olivia's pink eye (from earlier in the week) and an ear infection to top it off and having to cancel a playdate, Olivia's birthday was a success!

We started the day with our tradition of breakfast as a family, meaning Daddy comes home from work to join us. Usually we do homemade waffles for our birthday breakfast, but this 3 year old LOVES bacon, eggs & toast, so that was her breakfast of choice! We just stayed home and played all morning (read: contagious pink eye), and after an entire week of not napping, Olivia slept for 2 1/2 hours! We ate dinner at The Pine Brook (Olivia's request...she had the mini corn dogs) and returned to our house for cake & presents.

Here's Olivia's princess cake:




And the birthday girl with her most prized possessions! :) She also received a kids digital camera from my dad, which she also loves. Her photography skills leave room for improvement, but it's so fun to watch her play around with it! And a suitcase from Mucka for her trip to San Diego! And a jewelry box filled with jewelry from Grammi!
She was so excited from the day (and probably riled up from the 2 1/2 hour nap) that she didn't fall asleep until 10 pm...and she slept with her princesses. :)
Happy Birthday Olivia!

I'll agree with all the others and say Olivia does look older that 3! sounds like a fun birthday. :)
