As always, I had to make a fancy cake for Olivia and mom came and helped me out this time. Not quite as elaborate as last year, but still came out very good. Here is our cute Minnie Mouse cake:
We had her party at a bouncy place called Jumpin Beans up in Wake Forest. It was a perfect place to have a 3-year old party! The kids LOVED it and the adults got to mingle and some of them even went in the bouncer to play with the kids! 
I only got a couple pictures of the occasion, but the slide show from Jenn (in the previous blog entry) has TONS more.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come share Olivia's special party with her and for all the wonderful gifts that she received. We have such wonderful friends and it was great to see everyone!
Here is Olivia when we all sang to her:
Here she is with a couple of her buddies, Reece and Jordyn:
We had a great time at the party and I think everyone else did - I KNOW all the kids did and I am sure they all passed out on their way home after all that jumping.
Olivia's actual birthday was on a Tuesday, which just happens to be Grant's night off - yeah! We decided to do something simple and take her up to TGI Fridays for dinner.
She has always loved when they sing to other people at restaurants for their birthdays and wanted to have them sing to her. Unfortunately, she did get a little scared when they started because they were so loud, but she loved that they sang to her. Here's a video of it: She even got a special birthday treat from them . . . ice cream! Yum!
When we got home we had one more gift for her (her big present from us was her big girl furniture and bedding). Here is a video of us giving it to her:
This guitar is a little nicer than the toy one we got her last year. We can actually tune this one (more or less). We decorated it with princesses and flowers for her and every day since she has told us how much she loves her own guitar.
Here she is playing us a tune:
