YaYa and Olivia are the best of friends, as you can tell by the picture they were equally as happy to see each other when they arrived from Northfield last week.


What a happy little 1 year old we have. She endured a very long day on Saturday as guests didn't arrive for her Pink and Orange themed party until 4pm, and she didn't hit the hay until after 9pm, 2 hours past her bedtime. We had about 40 people, including the little ones.



And we have to confess, we were thrilled at how well all the kids got along, it was the first time we had seen Olivia play with other little ones, while we imagine she does it at daycare all the time, it was cool to see it first hand.




Olivia loved having her Grammie and PawPaw around for the day, and also spent some quality time with GG Martin and GG Sandra both of which she is very lucky to have in her life.






Since Olivia couldn't choose her own theme, we went with Hot Pink and Orange, we figured once she is old enough to choose we will be stuck with creatures and Disney characters galore.






Olivia received many beautiful presents, including a beach towel with her name on it that is already packed and ready for our beach trip, which by the way we cannot wait.



Brad's riding buddy Stew and his wife Rita spent the night and hung around for a little while on Sunday, Olivia loved the extra attention and extra people to play with.

As you can tell by the picture below, Olivia did enjoy her delicious UKROPS Birthday cake, however she was far more dainty than we expected. She didn't smash it or stick her face in it, Brad was disappointed.




Later in the evening, Olivia took the party outside, she wanted to roam around in the grass and chase her little friends around, including Mr. Turtle.


We also need to report that Olivia's 12 Month Check Up went very well. She weighed in at 22 lbs 12 oz, and measured 30 inches long. Both of which land her in the 75% percentile.
She is enjoying "Big Girl" food at most meals and is no longer taking a bottle, our little girl is growing up.
On a side note, Leigh heard today that Brittney and Justin are going to record a song together? Seriously?
