Miss Olivia Turns 3

July 4th

My little lady turned 3 on, the 4th of July.  Whoever came up with the term terrible 2's, was full of crap.  Not only does the naughtiness last throughout the entire age of 2, but continues on and even gets worse at 3.  Olivia is the biggest sassafras, is great at throwing tantrums, and knows how to push peoples buttons .... but you can't help but LOVE this girl.  She may be naughty but one look into her big blue eyes, hearing her say "pwetty pwease," or one big hug from this cute little cuddle bug ... will absolutely melt your heart.  Through good times and naughty times, we are happy she is in our family

Got to love this sweet face

The Festivities
We decided to start the party off right at the White Fence Farm.   It is this really cute old-fashioned, farm style restaurant.  They have a playground, craft shops, farm animals, a snack bar, carriage rides, and yummy country style.  We had a great time!

Um mm ... my yummy turkey dinner

Funny story: just above the snack bar, is also a kiddy play area.  We thought that Jeremiah and Chiki were upstairs "keeping an eye" on the ladies, and so the rest of us decided to kick back and relax and try some of the old-fashioned sodas.  These sodas were beyond carbonated.  While we were downstairs burping it up, the guys were upstairs snoring away on the couches.

Since we had just gotten back from Utah, I didn't have the chance to put my skills to the test and make another cake.  Instead, we chose ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone.  As for myself, I didn't eat one (we all know why), but they looked delish!

In years to come, I have a feeling that this little lady is going to keep me on my toes.  I wouldn't have it any other way though, and am so happy she is here with us. 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA!
