Happy 10th Birthday Olivia!

Today my sweet Olivia turns 10 years old, and is officially a member of the double digits club. She is the greatest girl in the whole world. So, in her honor I'm going to share my 10 favorite pictures of her, and then my 10 favorite things about her.

Ok so I clearly can't get enough of a 3 or 4 year old Olivia! 

Dear Olivia,
I am head over heals in love with everything about you. Since the day you came into our family you have been the perfect fit. These are some my favorite things about you:

1) You work extremely hard at your school work and always give a little extra,
2) You have the greatest smile and a laugh that is contagious,
3) You are the most organized and deliberate girl I have ever know and there is so much I can learn from you in this department,
4) You have been blessed with tons of athletic ability and you are amazing at every sport you've ever tried, and the best part is that you are extremely humble about it,
5)  You are a wonderful friend to others,
6) You crack us all up with the hilarious, off the cuff things you say,
7) You are bound and determined to be just as good as (if not better than) the boys at anything and everything you do,
8) You are a fresh breath of sensitivity and sweetness among the rough and tumble that our home seems to have plenty of,
9) You are such a great helper, and are mostly cheerful about it, 
10) You are so beautiful inside and out!

I love your guts Olivia, and think you are the greatest girl on the planet! I'm grateful every that you are apart of our family. I hope you have a great 10th birthday! You truly are the best!

Love, 
Mom
