6

As if going through my kids' birthdays wasn't emotional enough, I get to go through them on consecutive days... and yes, I do cry every time my girls have a birthday because it's just so hard to realize how big they're getting and how fast time is flying...

So...yesterday my little lady turned 6 years old...it was a great day for her...

We took her to the movies to see "Turbo" (review to come), had a special lunch and then birthday cake at night...

Olivia is the light of my life...she is such an amazing little girl and a great big sister...

Olivia is also very smart... a great reader and very good at school.. She loves art and has made some awesome paintings for our house..

Olivia is also incredibly athletic and enjoys playing tennis and golf; she has enjoyed her summer camp which features both sports...

Olivia is very friendly and she is always the life of the party; super funny girl with an awesome sense of humor.. She loves to ask questions and get answers, so I call her my inquisitive soul.. it's great to know she's so interested in learning new things all the time. 

She will be starting 1st grade soon and she's so excited about that.. I'm so proud to be her mother...

She's currently 47 in and 60 lbs.. quite the big girl!

Here are some pictures of my SIX YEAR OLD!

...and a bonus baby picture... taken a couple of hours after Olivia was born on 07/17/07....

Happy Birthday, Olivia! We love you so much!!!
