Olivia's 2nd Birthday

This little girl turned 2 today and boy she was feeling pretty good about it. She opened one present before Matt went to work. She got a set of pots and pans and cooking utensils. She loved them and played with the food she got from Christmas and her pots and pans all throughout the day. She doesn't typically sit down and play with too many toys, but she loved stirring her food in her pots.

Started off the morning with a surprise of decorations that Matt put up.

How did our girl get so big?

Olivia was feeling pretty special opening her very own presents.

She got lots of special attention. Pretty sure she was loving every bit of it.

Myles was pretty excited to give Olivia Holly Shiftwell from Cars 2. She also got a magnadoodle, a dress, toddler utensils, and a piano. The piano was Myles' when he was little, but it has been tucked away that didn't have batteries. We thought she would appreciate the piano now, so we brought it out and she loved it.

Happy Birthday Olivia!
