Olivia's First Birthday Family Celebration

We celebrated Olivia's first birthday party 8 days before her actual birthday because we were going to Sun River and her birthday ended up being the Sunday after the Fourth after a long weekend due to the holiday and we wanted people to be around.  Olivia's actual birthday was pretty tame because we were unpacking from Sun River and getting ready for the work week.  Olivia got to open up her present from Mom and Dad (she had already gotten a water table earlier for the back yard) and she got a cute tea set.  Brandon got to open a present from CiCi, a fun boat to play in the pool or the water table.  We went grocery shopping and then the kids played outside in our backyard in the baby pool we set up and the water and sand tables.  It is so nice having grass in our backyard.  Both Brandon and Olivia love to run around the grass and it is nice not having to worry about Olivia falling on cement.  It was a beautiful sunny day.  Sean made yummy chicken wings and we had strawberry short cake for dessert because Olivia's favorite food right are strawberries.  We put a candle in her strawberry short cake and sang to her.  It was a really fun and low key day.
