Olivia

Olivia's 1st birthday was the day of Kevin's family gift exchange. So we didn't get to celebrate much that day. We got back to my parents really late that night. We were going to celebrate the next day. But so she wouldn't feel too neglected, we all sang to her and let her blow out one candle. And since we hadn't made the cake yet, we improvised.....a roll!
Olivia, like the rest of us, LOVE my mom's rolls. So she was just trying to grab at it and eat it the whole time. And she didn't figure out the whole blowing the candles out thing. She just kept trying to grab it. She is so funny. And loved all the attention she was getting with everyone singing and taking pics.
My favorite is this picture. She looks like she is saying, "Mom, what do I do with this?"
And more grabbing of the candle.

See, I am not totally pathetic! She did get a real cake the next day! And that is our 5 for the past two weeks (oops!). And a video to enjoy! She is just staring at all the cameras and loving being in the center. With 2 other sisters, they all fight for the spotlight!

What a fun family party! By the way, I can't believe how serious your family takes the birthday song! Wow...you guys were rockin it.
We sound quite pathetic...I need some more Jenx vocal lessons, I guess.

what a cute little one-year-old! Don't you love that they are just content with rolls? You can tell all those girls are sisters.
