Happy Birthday Olive

Olive turned one year old. 

I can't believe how fast my little girl has grown. 

She is active! She is crawling and climbing and walking with a push toy.

She has a big appetite and loves food, any food any time of the day.

She loves her mom and dad and clings tightly to us!

She will venture off on her own and when she does i see her watching us out of the corner of her eye. 

Charlie can make her giggle. 

When Andy walks in the door she goes wild kicking and screaming for him.

She is the sweetest and I absolutely adore her.

I enjoyed planning and hosting a party in her behalf along with 5 other friends. 

Olive was born the first week of school. 

Andy had 5 other classmates who also had babies born that same week.

So they are all days a part and i thought it would be fun to celebrate the first year all together, and to also get some priceless photos taken of the six of them.

 We had the party in our backyard. 

Its a beautiful backyard and this is the first time we have used it.

It was almost impossible to make this picture happen. 

But i think they turned out perfect!

I love seeing the different pictures and reactions of the babies.

Olive was just busy eating her cupcake the whole time. 

We had a game for the dads. Eating the doughnut off the string.

I have tons of pictures of this as well and they are hilarious, i am sure as you can imagine! 

The kids had a bubble blowing contest.

Except only one of the kids really knew how to blow a bubble.

Ava's oldest sister Isabelle was the winner! 

The others all got points for giving such a good effort. 

Then for the moms, we played Dizzy Mummy.

We had to see who could be the first to wrap a whole roll of toilet paper around them-self.

I took it seriously and spun so fast i couldn't stop when i was done. 

It was a weird feeling! 

I tied with Alicia, Sadie's mom.
