We made it! Our little girl turned 1 year old today :-) this year has definitely been filled with ups and downs not only for Olivia, Mike, & I but for our entire family. We have had some of the best times, scariest times, and exhausting moments. But Olivia has been the biggest blessing to many if not all of us.
Even with everything going on we were able to pull together a cute birthday party for Olivia yesterday. Unfortunately, mike was not able to join us :'-( I was so sad when he called to tell me that he couldn't come. I was so upset with his work. 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!? THIS IS HIS FIRST BABIES FIRST BIRTHDAY!!' We were able to Skype with him when Olivia had her smash cake. The look on her face when she saw her daddy was PRICELESS AND PRECIOUS! She was grinning from ear to ear and was so excited to see him! My heart was filled with joy and sadness all at the same time. I'm glad he was able to be there on Skype at least. My parents and sisters came from Tacoma to celebrate with us. My friends Kellie and Tim also came from Tacoma. I did not expect to see them and they surprised me! We were thankful to our friends in Spokane who were able to make it. We were sad that we missed some friends and family who were unable to make it :-( The party was short but came together. It was probably the most put together party to date for my family... in the sense that I, and probably others, did not feel super rushed the morning of and even had a moment to breathe before people showed up.
This girl has grown so much in a year. I think about how much more she may have grown had a been a stay at home mom. She is loud, sassy, goffy, determined, demanding, sweet, and a little ball of energy!
For the party I wanted to created this cute board with her measurements and favorites. Well, I won't have measurements until her appointment on Tuesday, and this girl changes what she likes every other day. I know that she does love to be the center of attention. She LOVES people. She is a daredevil. She doesn't seem to be phased when she bonks her head. She is adventurous. I just love her to pieces!

Blessed, truly blessed.
Thank you Lord for this precious little girl. I pray that You would give Mike and I the wisdom to raise her to be the best woman that she can be. I pray that You would be with us in this new year as we face new challenges as parents and as a family. We thank You for all of the memories and the growth that has taken place so far. To You be the glory. In Jesus name, Amen.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! XOXO
