Olivia's 6th Birthday Party at Pink Bliss

Here are a few more pics from Olivia's birthday party. Pink Bliss was so fun! They got to make lip gloss, get their hair, make-up, and nails done, and dance around the store!


I loved the way these cookies turned out. I also made some lollipop cookies that were really cute. I got some sugar purses, hair brushes, make-up brushes, etc. from a baking store here in Columbus. I had to wrap them up like crazy, but they survived the plane. (I can say these are cute because the ones that I made for her horse party took twice as long and weren't as cute. Hmmm, pink and blue cute things v. brown horse shoe cookie. That's really no contest.)


Here are all the girls. Anna Kate LOVED it! She was so cute. She is only 2 and completely loved every minute!



This girl did some amazing teasing for Olivia. She had some BIG hair!



This is the best picture of their make-up. It was very glittery and fun! I am glad they could see it. Sometimes people are afraid to put make-up you can see on little girls and it just isn't as fun.



I cannot believe Olivia is 6. I can hardly even type it. She is the most precious little girl. God gave her the sweetest, most kind heart. She is the best big sister, helper, teacher, creator of unique crafts, reader (making up her own words without missing a beat), singer (making up songs without missing a beat), dancer, spinner, and amazing daughter. I feel guilty for treating her so much older than she is because it makes me expect more of her, but she always lives up to it- even at 2 1/2 when Annika came. I treated her like she was 5 and she acted like it. She is beautiful inside and out. She genuinely cares about others, which isn't very common for her age. (I can say all of these things because these are all things God gave her- not us!) She loves stuffed animals and always has room for one (or 5 more). She is fun to be with. An excellent shopper, and a great friend. She is also getting quite a sense of humor and really makes me laugh several times a day. I love, love, love this girl. I am so thankful to be her mama. God has blessed me so much with her (and her sweet sister).

Annika showing off her new Dora toothpaste. She was so excited about it. I think it was because I had told her we weren't getting a toy and she somehow felt like she got one anyway.


 
Olivia made wrapping paper just for fun for Annika. She always does the sweetest things for her. She wrapped a book in this cute paper after spending a while making it- all the while knowing Annika was going to rip it off. Very cute!

 

The girls LOVE the Wonder Place in Little Rock. They seriously asked to go everyday while we were there. We finally gave in. It was a great day to go- not many people there and it was free adult day!

 

Hair cut and Pinnacle

Annika got her hair chopped! It is so cute! I LOVE it! I think it is perfect for her precious face! The first picture is Annika pretending to be asleep in the St. Louis airport. She was probably really wishing she was asleep because it was late. The other pictures are from when we climbed Pinnacle with my mom. We had a great time! Annika was VERY scared of bugs (since she had gotten stung in the face by a yellow jacket a week before).


 
 
 
 

Cousins!

We went to AR for 4 weeks. We had a great time! We did so much while we were there and I kind of feel overwhelmed with what to post. So I will just do a little at a time. We got to spend sometime with Olivia and Annika's cousins while we were there. We LOVE them! I so wish we lived in the same town because they would be at our house all of the time! (or we'd be at their's because they just finished building a really great new house!) They are the sweetest girls (Andrew is great too!) and they had the best time together. They came over for Olivia's birthday. We went to Pink Bliss and had a sleepover at mom's. Olivia did not stop smiling. It was a dream birthday for her! Here are a few pics!
