A decade of Sunshine!

Nothing like another child joining the double digits to make you feel old. Liv turned 10 today, yay! Of course I forgot my camera (will I ever get better about that?), so I don't have the best pictures. We spent the day at a spa getting mani's/pedi's and hair done, fun, fun, fun. Then it was off to get her ears pierced. No tears, all smiles. That is so Olivia. She is our bright, energetic, and joyful ray of sunshine. I think back over 10 years and how did it blow by so fast? We are looking forward to the next 10 Liv. Happy, Happy Birthday!!
Showing off the new holes in her ears.

Mani's and Pedi's, Oh my!

Only 10 of the wonderful things we love about our Liv.
1. She bounces (She is Tigger: bouncy, bouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun)
2. She is my fellow night owl
3. Her love of music
4. Her optimism
5. Her picture poses (We have the greatest pictures of her, she can't just smile in a photo she has to make some zany face and pose).
6.Her love for her family and friends (9/10 times the phone rings, it is for Liv).
7. Her ability to entertain whether it be with her silly laugh, her tongue roll, or a performance of some sort.
8. Her room--not because it is clean, most of the time it is not and the closet is a whole other story but because it shows me she is still a kid. Her dad always says she is 8, 9, now 10 going on 18.
9. Her ability to try anything new--food or activity, you name it she'll try it. Fear factor here she comes. Okay, unless it includes spiders. That's my girl!
10. And finally her huge heart--she wants to be every one's friend.
We love you Liv!
