Olivia's 1st Birthday Party!

Olivia’s 1st Birthday Party!

Getting Olivia ready for her big day was so much fun! She was like my little princess and I realized that I would do anything for her. She has grown so much and it seems so fast, and is a little person with ideas, opinions, and preferences. She is such a joy, and I can see her personality developing each day.

To get ready for the party, Daddy cleaned and prepared the yard and home. I baked Olivia’s cakes, decorated, and stuffed the butterfly piñata. Olivia was kissing and hugging the piñata, which later on she was very upset to see beat and destroyed!

Olivia’s friends are kids she knows from Church and Mommy group. We had a big group and the kids had fun blowing bubbles, making Olivia birthday cards, and running around from the sugar high!

Our food was a collaborative effort. Thanks to Ali, Rocio, Suigualpa, and Dena, we had a great spread. The best treat was the home made Horchiata from Suigualpa. Yumm!

When it was time to break the piñata, Olivia broke down. She was in love with her butterfly piñata! The kids just about all had a turn at 10 pow pows each, when the candy poured out like rain. The kids went nuts stuffing their bags with candy! I’ve decided that each year we should have a piñata! It makes the party.

After every one left, Olivia opened her gifts. She was so excited to play with the bows and boxes! She loved her gifts too. P.S. Olivia's birthday dress was from our Lory and George! Thank you!

We were missing everyone in the USA, but here we had such a great birthday, and it is one that we will never forget. Thanks to everyone who made it so special.
