Olivia's 5th Birthday

Olivia turned 5 on Monday the 11th, and on Sunday she had a girls-only ballet-themed party. (Besides Bill and Gabe) This year, Olivia had a heavy hand in planning, and I tried to do as much as possible that she wanted (with in reason of course.)

The food

My Martha Stewart moment...I made the party favor bags myself :)

Having snacks before the ballet lesson

Our neighbors, Natania and Claire, gave the younger girls a ballet lesson. It was wonderfully done and the moms had a good laugh at the younger ones :)

Cake and candles time
The girls all decorated their own cupcakes, but we still got a small cake for Olivia for candles and singing.

Two beautiful cousins!

A few things Gabe (2.5 yrs) said to me recently:

"Mommy, you are pretty. Like a snake."

"Mommy, you sound like a train." (when I blew my nose)

"I'm not a boy!! I'm Gabe."
