Olivia's Beach Birthday Party!

All day Connie spent downstairs and CK told me she was putting together a "little" birthday party for Olivia. I should have known that Connie never does anything "little"! First, she and the kids decorated the living room with paper cut-out fish and sea creatures and set out lanterns on the deck. Next came the food, which was amazing and so creative! The party was a beach theme and all of the food fit in with the beach! Connie made little "pool party" scenes with blue jello and candy, hard boiled egg "sail boats," "crab" chicken salad and tuna salad sandwiches, "octopus" hummus, and the kids decorated a dish and made a cute beach scene with candy and food. Of course there were also cupcakes on a cupcake stand decorated with shells. It was magical! We sang enjoyed the cute food, which was delicious as well as cute before singing Happy Birthday to Olivia! She had a bit of difficulty blowing out the three candles, but Papa helped her before the kids all got a cupcake.

After eating, Olivia opened her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa as well as Aunt Cynthia, Uncle Jay and cousins. Grandma and Grandpa gave her an Elsa doll and two adorable pair of shoes - white sandals and black dress shoes. They also gave her an adorable black and white striped dress with pink leggings. The huge hit though was a set of Frozen panties! She loved them and had to show her Papa and put a pair on right away! Grandma and Grandpa also gave Olivia a Target gift card, that I know she will LOVE being able to pick out a few toys. Aunt Cynthia, Uncle Jay and cousins gave her two Frozen plates and a Frozen bowl (Sofia will love being able to use a plate) and a pink polka dot dress and white sundress that we plan to use for photos. It all was so thoughtful and she was so excited to open it all and let her sister read the cards. Unfortunately, Olivia didn't get a nap so she was exhausted and got a little crabby at the end of the evening. We put her to bed and enjoyed a relaxing day and a very fun and sweet party!
