Happy Birthday Olivia!

It's been quite awhile since my last post. Everything is going great. My hair is growing like crazy and is also completely CURLY!! It's basically out of control! This picture is from today.




Olivia turned 5 today and we had a party for her. Our whole family was here (minus Uncle Nate who is out in Boston as school!) and Olivia had a great time. Tonight before bed she told me that she "had more fun at her party than she did at Christmas"!

She had a couple other fantastic comments. When she opened a dress that her Grandma and Grandpa got her she said, "I saw this in a magazine! It's just what I always wanted!". When she opened an alarm clock for her room from her Aunt Sharon she said, "It's perfect because I'm always sleeping so late!"

Before I put up the pictures from the party I need to share a couple from the other morning. Carina informed me that while I made her breakfast she was going to read the paper. Look closely - she's reading the Obituaries!

Here are some pictures from Olivia's party today....

The picture above from the left is cousin Audrey, Olivia, cousin Greta and Carina. The girls are dressed up in some silk scarves.

I have a surgery coming up on Friday. It's with the plastic surgeon and is an outpatient surgery. I'll be off work the following week. One of the moms from Olivia's class organized dinners for us during that week. We'll be getting 6 meals from Olivia's classmates. We are so grateful for that. What a kind thing for them to do. I'll do another post next weekend to let everyone know how it goes....
