The Birthday

Every birthday the kids draw in this book. Here is Olivia's flower garden.
Her choice of cuisine- ribs, corn and fries.





She is now officially 5. Olivia was the star of the day, and she got to pick what she wanted to do all day. She began it with 'Monkey George'. That progressed to a breakfast of oatmeal. She played with her sisters and then we moved outside to test out the just-finished-last-night beanbag game. She also wanted to get out every other lawn game we have. Dad also filled up the pool. While we were outside the storm began to roll in. We enjoyed watching the lightening. It rained part of the afternoon, so they never got to use the pool.
For her birthday Olivia got a digital camera. I already wish I would've gotten her a better one, but it also happens to be the waterproof camera Eric and I used in Puerto Rico. She didn't feel like trying it out in the rain, but she did use up a set of batteries. After supper at Famous Dave's we went to Minneopa. There she used our camera to take these photos. She and Rylee had a fun photo adventure. They also have audio on their cameras so they were having fun singing into them in unison. We returned to the house and the rest of the evening was spent blowing bubbles and riding bike.
She told us that she had a wonderful birthday. She didn't even mind the rain. She told us that she was glad it rained so the plants could get watered. What a girl!
