This last Saturday my husband and I got to throw our daughter her first birthday party. We went with a luau pool party theme... and I have got to say, this was one of my favorite days of my life. I loved all the family and friends who helped and came to celebrate her with us. I loved how every time I would look around, someone was laughing, smiling, and having so much fun. I love how excited Olivia got with the cake, presents, and pool time. I love how her eyes lit up when the other children would come around and kiss her and greet her. This day was so rewarding and I am so happy with how everything turned out. I would do it again in a heart beat.
Here are just a few snap shots of this amazing day!

| Her memory board.... I have a love/hate relationship with this thing. I wanted to include ALL of the pictures I had in her first year which ended up being over 1,000... So I slimmed that down to 300... then to 100... when we realized that not all of the 100 pics would fit, I think we ended at about 30. It took my mom, marty and me almost 3 hrs just to pick through which photos to choose! |

| Guys, my new found love: Costco cake. HOLY amazing. I think I ate half of it when we got home... |
 |
| This dress came all the way from Hawaii! Her Great Aunt Rhonda got it for her when we had her BABY SHOWER. I was so excited she finally got to wear it! |
 |
| Pinterest WIN: seashell painting. The kids loved it! |
 |
| I had to snag a picture of Olivia's bestie snoozing at the party... Too CUTE! |
 |
| Most of the night, my Grandpa was attached to my nephew Easton. It was the cutest thing! |
 |
| I'd like to take a minute to give this woman a special shout out. She helped me SO much with this entire thing, and was so sweet. I am really glad that I get to have her as my mom and even more grateful knowing Olivia gets to have her as her Grandma! |
And that's all folks! Special thanks to all the family and friends who came out to celebrate her first birthday! I love you guys!
