Happy birthday, Olivia!

Olivia turned 7 and she couldn't be happier about getting older. We aren't so happy, but we accept it! Her morning started off with swedish pancakes served to her in bed. I took rice krispy treats to her class and that night we went to Tepanyaki for her birthday dinner. She requested frozen chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Lots of birthday requests, but she is sure worth it!

She got way too scared to catch a shrimp in her mouth. She buckled under the pressure.

Birthday cake #2, which Olivia sketched for me before I made it. That girl knows exactly what she wants.

Color Me Mine.

The excitement of blowing out candles as a kid is the best.
