81 years young...

This last week in June is always a special one for us because we get to celebrate Olivia's birthday and my Grandma Thatcher's birthday. On Thursday we went to the Cheesecake Factory for Grams' 81st birthday. It was cute because she was telling everyone she was turning 18. Grams also brought a very special gift for Olivia. I remember the quilt my grandma made for me when I turned six. It was pink, with a little bit of blue. A log cabin pattern. I still use it today. Now she is making quilts for my girls. All the love she puts into these beautiful pieces of art make them priceless treasures. Here are some pictures from both birthday girls' special day!




This is what Olivia picked out to wear, on her birthday, to go to preschool. Notice the brown gauchos underneath the dress. And we can't forget the backwards socks, with the heal sticking out, over the top of her shoes. Must be her mom's amazing fashion sense rubbing off on her.



We asked Livi," if you could have anything you want for your birthday dinner what would it be?" Mac N Cheese.
I love this girl.



Her new bike! She was very excited.
