Olivia had a birthday!

Olivia turned 5 on the 13th. Since I'm not the most organized person and I forgot about planning a party for her until the Saturday before her birthday (it was Monday), when I realized I should have planned it for that day. We had a little party with the grandparents on her birthday and then had a High School Musical 3 party on Friday.

As mentioned before, I'm not really very tech savvy, so I didn't think about the fact that my video taken with the camera in a vertical position might not be able to be rotated, but we got such a kick out of Olivia's blowing out the candles that I'm posting anyway. Just tip your head!

We also had a great time at her party. We decked out the house with lots of posters. Here's our new mantle decor:

We played freeze dance to the HSM soundtracks,

and played pin the "T" on Gabriella's necklace. As you can see, no one got the "T" in exactly the right spot, but Olivia got the closest.

We had cupcakes (Olivia thought it was so much fun blowing out her candles early on her birthday, that she tried it again), and had fun playing with her presents (especially the 3-D chalk!).
