Turning 3!

I am not sure how this has happened but the little lady of the house is now 3 years old. I really do remember this little baby girl coming into the world and changing our lives forever like it was yesterday. It's hard to believe that three years have flown by. I just know that she will be going off to college before I can blink my eyes. The mentor at our bible study said something today that will stick with me for a while. She said "y'all are in the rooting years right now and before you know it you will be giving them wings to fly." That's so true, we are helping her develop and grow her roots in these tiresome but beautiful years getting her pruned and prepared to fly one day. The days are long but the years are so very short. 

Happy Birthday, our sweet Olivia!!!

You are loved more than you will ever know!

Olivia started her day off in mommy and daddy's bed complete with a chocolate do-nut, a candle and the birthday song and of course, presents. 

She was then sent off to school for a short while where Ford and I met her and her classmates at snack time.  Blue and pink donuts were delivered and enjoyed by each friend in honor of Olivia's big day. The birthday girl begged (she didn't have to do much) to go home with me and Ford instead of staying the rest of the morning at school so that's exactly what she did. We picked up Chick-fil-a for lunch and went home to play and eat. She got the Little People seven dwarfs to go with Snow White and the castle and had the best time playing with them. Then we took naps, went to dance and ended the day at Chuckie Cheese (which was not a good idea seeing that Olivia was too scared to play any of the games, go figure). It was a perfect day spent  celebrating a precious little girl.
