Happy Birthday Olivia!

Olivia is 7!!!!! We had a painting party (plan b) for a few of her closest friends.  We began with decorating their "smocks" with colored sharpies. Check out the awesome multi-art easel Justin made with his cool tools! THANK YOU!
I drew the same picture for all the girls.  It came from the cake that Olivia designed. (see below)
Here's the final product. I didn't think the boys would want flowers, so Justin made a minion and ninja turtle for them. THANKS again!
This is the amazing picture. And here's why. Olivia originally wanted an outside water party with sprinkler/trampoline and pool set up.  After invitations were sent, the weather report went downhill and it was supposed to rain all weekend.  So we prayed all week about the weather, and yes, I came up with plan b (art) just in case. Always be prepared when it comes to kids. :-)  The day of her party, it was raining and even her soccer game was cancelled that morning. However, during her party it became hot and sunny enough for them to get wet! She loved it! And when the last guest was leaving, we saw the dark clouds roll in and it rained the rest of the evening.  What a wonderful present she got from God!
 It was a little windy to keep the candles lit, but our neighbor was able to get 6 of the 7.  Olivia only blew out one because the wind got the rest. Fun memory.
She designed her own cake! (wish i could do better lady bugs!)
 We even got to eat outside since it was so nice.  
 Isaac got to play with one of the girl's brother that came.  He was in Olivia's class last year.
 Opening presents.  Leyton sure looked relaxed!
We are so thankful for the blessing we have with Olivia.  She is one loving, considerate, creative, intelligent, beautiful little girl. I would choose to be her friend any day!
