Olivia is 2!

It is so fun to be sisters!!

Ava blew out Olivia's candles, and Olivia didn't even care!!
Mmmmm yummy Elmo cake, how exciting!

I know, she looks like daddy.

This was the girls' first trip to Chucky Cheese!!!

My little cowgirl riding a virtual horse :)

Olivia probably rode the mini-carosel 20 times, that's 20 times I had to go over and re-start it. The only way I finally bribed her off it of is by telling her she had to give it hugs and kisses bye-bye, it worked!! As shown below :)

Why do the girls always look silly in pictures with mommy?

Lance had as much fun at Chucky cheese as the girls!! Aren't they all big kids?

Birthday Reflection

I can't help but have a lot of emotions on Olivia's Birthday today. It is more then just a celebration, I am overcome by emotions when I think about how much Heavenly Father has blessed us with this little girl. She has overcome death and disability, and is thriving with a very bright and vibrant personality. I cannot imagine the unthinkable, what could've been the outcome of her brain injury 2 years ago. I am grateful for each day with her, and today we celebrate how blessed we are to have her in our lives. All children are miracles from God, and Olivia is no exception.

The best morning of the year...

Ava's excited Christmas morning expression was successfully captured.

Grandma MaryJo hand made special blankets for the girls this year.

Olivia with her new tea set. She loves everything girly.

Below is the only present that Ava actually asked for this year, a Handy Manny tool set. She is still a tom-boy.

Ava got a new Princess Bike and matching helmet.

Joy

Our Christmas morning was filled with excitement, giggles, and love, just the way it ought to be. It was truly a day to remember, we had such a wonderful day.
