birthday neglect

so you would think i'd be more on top of posting about olivia's birthday. i just couldn't get around to sorting through my photos i guess. anyway, here they are. we had a little family party (plus a few elite friends) for her the day after her birthday and although we were pushing it close to bedtime with our bbq birthday bash, she held up pretty well. 

opening her present from us the night of her real birthday. she knew a little too well how to rip right into it.
 
trying to get a shot of her in her party dress. she was not in to it.

b-day girl with the girls in my family

cousin coleman drowning out some of the noise

loving her 1st birthday song!

testing out her little personal cake....

coleman deciding the rainbow cake must be up for grabs!

getting crazy!! (after being transferred to the kitchen for mess control.) i don't even think she thought it was food. more like play dough or something.

wrapped in a towel to go take a mid-party bath

refreshed and ready to open presents. pretty bows from her cousins!

taking a nap on her new blanket

having cousin coleman "read" to her from her new olivia book.
 
party's over! needless to say, she passed out the second i put her in her crib. happy birthday little baby who's not really a baby! you are the cutest and the funniest and the smartest! we love you.

What a fun post. Crazy how fast these little ladies grow up. Can't wait to hear the big news of your new baby - when do you find out the sex, a few weeks, right??! ps-cute cake!!

I wish you had another shot of the rainbow cake so I could see more details! It looked amazing MARTHA! She is such a beautiful birthday babe! Brody meant to send her a birthday kiss!
P.S. Andi is 21!! How did that happen?!!?!?

So cute! I can't believe she is 1! I guess that means Camryn's in right around the corner! I love her party dress picture, she has got quite the personality. Also, Coleman must be related on Adam's side because he looks exactly like Adam! A mini version, so cute! Happy B-day Olivia!
