Olivia's real birthday

Olivia's actual 6th birthday fell on a Saturday this year. She had a fun playdate scheduled with her friend Claire in the morning at her house. Then we had planned to meet my parents at my sister Rachel's house in McMinnville to celebrate with my family. We were going to go to the park and open presents and eat dinner at Rachel's house. Olivia got up early and got into her birthday outfit and opened up a few presents (she wanted to save some for when we went over to Auntie Rachel's house later in the day). We had our special birthday tradition of going to donuts for breakfast. This time we tried a new donut shop called Blue Star Donuts and it was so yummy! They had some more exotic donuts like marionberry lemon donuts. Olivia got a very yummy cake donut that had sugar and cinnamon. Olivia loved the presents she got-she got a gift card to Claire's so she could pick some stuff out, a water bottle that she can decorate herself, and a LOL surprise pearl with her little LOL dolls and pets she likes.

Yummy donut!

After Olivia's play date with Claire we headed over to McMinnville. We brought some food with us and some beer and some cupcakes with us to decorate. Jasper was super excited to see us and was waiting for us to come. Olivia wanted to open up her presents right after CiCi and Baba got there. She got a fun make up set, a Lego Friends set that she wanted, and a real American Girl doll Samantha that she really wanted from CiCi and Baba. She got some American girl doll clothes from Sean and I as well. She got a fun unicorn that she got to paint from Jasper and Rachel.

After presents we went to the fun park near Rachel's house. The kids had a blast running around and running up this giant mountain! Olivia had fun on the monkey bars. We picked up Papa Murphy's pizza (Olivia's favorite), cut up some watermelon, and made a Cesar salad and ate pizza when we got back to Rachel's house. Then we decorated cupcakes-so much fun! The kids loved using the sprinkles. We sang Happy Birthday to Olivia and she blew out her candles. So much fun celebrating with family and I can't believe my youngest is now 6.
