Lyv's 7th Birthday

7 years ago this sweet little bundle brightened our day and our life!  Olyvia continues to be such a joy in our home.  She has such a kind heart.  She loves, LOVES, loves animals and would love to have an entire farm at our home one day.  She enjoys spending time with her friends, singing, dancing.  She is a very talented gymnast and is continuing to learn and grow in her skills.  I'm constantly amazed at how natural that is for her.  She is so fun to watch!  She is such a great helper at home, especially with Eva.  She writes love notes to Shawn and I all the time, and reminds us how awesome it is to have a girl.  She is an excellent student and loves to read and do art. We are so blessed to have her as our own!

This year Trolls has taken over Lyv's heart and mind...so we had a Troll-tastic birthday party with her friends.  There was a lot of color, a lot of giggling, and a lot of screaming!  Girls.Girls.Girls! 

Lyv's actual birthday was on Wednesday, so we celebrated all day long starting with bacon and eggs for breakfast, opening her gifts (rollerblades and a Trolls CD), DQ for lunch, stroganoff for dinner and cupcakes to light a candle for her birthday wishes.  She felt so loved that day!  (Check out Max's face as he blew the candles with her:)
