For Olivia


Happy belated birthday our sweet Olivia! We didn't forget your special day just had some sickness going around. Then Thanksgiving came and we got way busy. Anyway, I thought it would fun to go down memory lane. I took this picture of you when I came to see you for the first time. You were only a few weeks old. You slept in a stroller .You liked this big bear that made comforting sounds.Like the kind you heard when you were in mommy's tummy. I believe Tia Ines gave it to you. I slept nearby keeping watch over you. I loved every minute. Can you believe you were ever this tiny?
As you can see we got along quite well. At least you put up with your crazy Tia who couldn't get enough of you. I loved watching you with your daddy who could always get a smile out of you. Even when you cried you were adorable. I think you didn't like that crazy hat that's why you were crying. Mom really liked it and we had to get a picture.

We loved you coming to visit us. We got you and your Mom all to ourselves and you can see there was no shortage of love to go around. You enjoyed all the attention and Uncle Al took good care of you. You slept in our room so your Mom could get some sleep. You got up during the night a lot. We were happy to get up and take care of you.

Your cousins had to get in the act too. They loved playing with you and entertaining you. Can you see how happy you made us. We feel so blessed to be part of your life. We feel blessed to have this fun memories to look back on.





Ammon loved feeding you and we loved giving you a bath in our kitchen sink. We hope you enjoy looking at these pictures and know how much you are loved.




We hope you had a fabulous day on your birthday. We wish so much we could of been there with you. It's fun to see what a wonderful young lady you're turning out to be. All the fun things you are doing like learning to play the piano, reading your Nancy Drew books, developing your faith. Being a good big sister and a good helper to your Mom.
We loved you as a baby but we love the person you are today. Happy Birthday we love you!
Hugs and kisses and more hugs and kisses, hugs,kisses,kisses and more hugs!!!

What a great post. I love you so much. One of our strengths has been that we love each other's children for good or for bad, as if they're our own. You've done such a great job of using such great pictures. What a great way to show Olivia how much she's loved. I can't wait to see you in January. I look forward to the day you guys move closer to us.:)

Nice post, Tia Ana. Those pictures remind me of Sammy wanting to put baby Olivia in time out for "hitting" him...I sure wish we had more Miller time with all the kids! We just might have to descend on you guys this summer so we can more memories and fun pictures :)
