Olivia's Birthday (Observed!)

We made it home for Olivia's 1st and 2nd birthdays, but with our long trip home for Eliza's birth, it didn't make sense to come back so soon. So, we decided to celebrate her birthday in October! Olivia loves dinosaurs, so we had her birthday at the Natural Science Museum with a dinosaur theme.

Birthday Girl!

"For the Sweetivore"

Olivia really missed her daddy when the girls and I flew home a week before Mike. Once he got there, Olivia was a Daddy's girl for the rest of the trip! She even asked him to come and eat lunch with her at her party! Daddy happily obliged.

Happy Birthday To You!

After cake, they did a live animal presentation with...

a turtle

a bearded dragon

and a snake!

Cousins!

All of Olivia and Eliza's cousins came to Houston for the weekend for both Pong Pong's birthday and Olivia's birthday party. She was thrilled to see them and all of her aunts and uncles for "Bevo Day" (Texas football Saturdays).

Olivia is enamored with her cousin, Aiden. She adores and talks about him all the time. He is currently taking Chess after school and "taught" Olivia how to play.
