Hard To Believe I've Only Known Her Two Years

Yesterday was Olivia's second birthday! It was a day filled with smiles and frosting and playgrounds. Observe the photographic evidence that my little girl is growing up entirely too fast:

To start the day, Olivia and I made a Golden Birthday Girl crown for her to wear so that everyone would know it was her birthday. She even wore it in Wal-Mart and was quite popular.

After dinner we ate special birthday cupcakes (a mommy first!). We were running short on time, so Olivia frosted her own. Yeah, see that finger? It's going straight to the mouth. And once she realized what frosting was, there was no turning back.

After cupcakes, we went to the park and Olivia enjoyed the slide.

And she swung on the swing like a big girl.

And she tried to climb up the slide.

And she loved on her little brother.

And little brother went down the slide.

It was a beautiful, yummy, exhausting celebration of the miracle of life.
