Birthday Girl

Today I gave Liv her usual naptime routine of singing songs, she laid her little head on my shoulder, sucked on her blanket, and only occasionaly quit sucking to suggest the next song for me to sing. "Uh God" (I am a child of God), "Uh baby boats", "Uh Jesus" (Jesus wants me for a sunbeam). As I sat there holding Liv, and thinking back on the last two years of my life, my heart felt so full, and I thought about how incredibly grateful I am for this sweet little girl.
Jaron and I don't let one day go by where we don't thank heavenly father for Olivia's sweet little spirit in our life.
She is happy.
She is beautiful.
She is kind.
She is feisty.
She is playful.
She is brave.
She is funny.
She is smart.
And now
She is Two.


(Opening Presents before dad went to work, still a little groggy).

The stroller was a huge hit. It has yet to leave her side.

Happy Birthday Gracey girl! You are the joy of my life.
P.S. On Wednesday we fly out to Utah for Thanksgiving so I will probably not blog until we get home! But in case I don't see you Happy Thanksgiving wherever you are!

Please, please...I know it's a little late, but give that little Livvy girl a big hug from her aunt Kell, extra tight, as long as she'll let you keep her snuggled, and help her to know that from all the way on the other side of the country, she is so LOVED!
