Olivia's 7th Birthday

My little princess is now 7.  She could hardly wait to get to 7 and here we are.  She has now lost 2 teeth which has been extremely exciting.  All of her friends have lost so many of their teeth and she has now joined that club. For her birthday she really wanted an American Girl Doll.  You know, she was the ONLY girl in her class who didn't have one, so of course she HAD to get one. She picked out the very one she wanted; blonde hair and blue eyes just like her.  The doll came from me and daddy and Bestema.  She loves, loves, loves the doll.  Olivia happened to be sick with strep throat the week after her birthday and because the doll was ordered online, she didn't get the doll until a week after her birthday so she was home sick the day her doll came and boy did that make her day.
For her birthday, we celebrated on her birthday with the neighborhood kids. They all came over for some games and cupcakes. Then over the weekend we had family over to celebrate again with a great dinner from Grandma and more cake and more presents.

As I have said before it breaks my heart that my babies are no longer babies and are growing up so fast, but it is the most precious gift to watch them grow up and see how smart and beautiful they are becoming.  Olivia really is such a wonderful little girl that I love with all of my heart!
