August is Olivia's month, and we are celebrating her all month long. Last Sunday we had a tiny birthday celebration for her and my father in law at their house. Olivia and Pappy share a birthday and we wanted to celebrate them before the summer ended and I came back home. We had cupcakes, they opened presents, ate steaks, and swam.
My beautiful girl with some very rosy cheeks.
Always on the move.
One of Olivia's favorite books to read at night is a touch and feel mermaid book. She loves it, so I thought a mermaid theme would be perfect for her first celebration. Since mermaids are 100% girlie, we thought it would be funny to add picture of Eric {from the little mermaid} on my father in laws cake since his name is Eric too. He didn't get it, but we had a good laugh.
The cutest cupcake toppers and liners.
We sang Happy Birthday to her and she loved all the attention. She smiled and smiled. Her brother blew out her candle for her, and she stuck her hands in her cake, but didn't really eat it. She licked her hands a a couple of times, but that was it. I was a little surprised. Maybe at her party next weekend she will dig in a little more and actually eat her cake.
After we all ate cake, they opened their presents. Pappy got a rice cooker, and Olivia got a baby book {because I never got her one}, a dress, a mermaid lunchbox, and silver coins from Pappy.
Time to swim!
Love that boy and his beautiful smile!
We can't wait to celebrate her some more this month!
XOXO,
Jenn
