Weekend in Photos

A few favorite photos from Olive's birthday weekend ...

The singing of Happy Birthday. The Ladybug wasn't sure what to think of the candle and refused to show off her skills to blow it out.

Before this first handful, Miss Olive started with just a dab of icing on her first finger, bite by mini bite. After this handful, she was all-in.

She just noticed she had a little something on her hands.

Getting close to cake overload.

Opening presents. About mid-way through, the little one pooped out and decided she was more interested in snuggling with Mama than opening any more presents. It was, in fact, a VERY long day.

On her actual birthday, Sunday, Miss Olive opened some presents from the Hubby and me, including this baby doll.  This doll has been the object of many Olive kisses since.

My daughter, who can barely be bothered to wear a hat or a hairbow for more than a few minutes at a time, sported this princess crown (a gift from her 2-year-old cousin) for a good chunk of the afternoon. I finally had to take it off her when she started breaking a sweat from the feathers.

God decided that his birthday gift to my outdoor-loving daughter would be one of the only super nice, warm, sunny days so far this year. We broke out the water table Olive got as a gift from my aunt, uncle and cousins. She had a blast!

Re-hydrating, and enjoying getting to drink from a wide-open cup all by herself without anyone caring how much she spilled on herself.

Looking for mischief. Sadly, there was little to be found in the chair pocket.
