Olivia's 5th Birthday

22 October 2015

Every birthday, I am ever more impressed by Olivia's incredible talent, beauty, intelligence, and potential. She has an amazing and charitable soul, strong willed and determined, with a flair for the wild and dramatic. She has so many interests, and loves to pursue anything that makes her feel happy and successful. Right now, those top interests include: ballet, gymnastics, dance, baking, art, riding her scooter, My Little Pony, Disneyland, and of course - preschool! She loves her family - and we are her number one priority, she will always choose to do something "together as a family".

I haven't done this before, but decided I wanted to start birthday interviews with my kids. In my research I came across so many fun questions and had a more than difficult time narrowing it down. This being my first time, I started with a whole bunch to get a feel for the ones I like the most. For posterity's sake, I'll include them all. But be it known...I don't think I'll be doing all 40 in the future.

After celebrating with her preschool class, we spent the rest of the day at Disneyland, but those photos will be in another post. 

 

Will picked out this Minnie Mouse for Olivia at Disneyland all by himself.
