Olivia's 2nd Birthday

Today we celebrated Olivia's birthday! We started the day with breakfast and a few presents. As we got ready for the party, I lit a special candle to honor the woman in China who gave birth to Olivia two years ago.

At 11:00am we headed out to the park to set up - who would have thought that having an outdoor party in Nov. in Missouri would mean temperatures in the 70's? We were quite prepared for cool weather, but it was unnecessary. It was an amazing day to be outside.

The party was great, Olivia had an amazing time and every one else seemed to enjoy themselves too. (Okay - there is a problem with some of the pictures, but if you click on it, you should be able to see the whole thing.)
