Olivia turns 10!

It's an exciting year in our household.  We got our first teenager in October and now in November, Olivia entered double digits and turned 10.  She is growing up so fast and we love her darling little personality.
For her birthday breakfast she wanted cinnamon rolls.  So Tim and I set to work together to get them done fast (since we didn't know until we were just going to throw something together.) 
Enjoying breakfast!
 After breakfast!


 Opening Presents!

 Maya made her this cute necklace.
 Livie wanted a new bag for her piano books.  I found this fabric one day and decided it would make a great bag.  I forgot to get it put away before she came home from school.  She walked in and saw it and said, "Mom, if you have any more of this fabric left after you are done making whatever you are making with it, will you make me a piano bag?"  I was thrilled to know she loved the fabric.  Little did she know she was getting ALL the fabric.

           Livie also got the game Boggle so we spent the day (and some of the night) palying.
 Olivia chose to go to Olive Garden for her birthday dinner.  I forgot to bring the camera so no pictures.  But we had a great time.  When we came home we at her birthday cake which was a pumpkin roll that she requested.  It was so yummy and fun to make.
Happy Birthday my sweet Olivia.

You can tell she was excited about the pumpkin roll and the candles. What a great picture--think I'll frame it. What a treasure that Livie is!

I am wondering (am I always asking you questions???) how you got those beautiful cinnimon rolls done so quickly? I am so impressed! And that story about the bag is my favorite-- what a good mom to know your daughter so well.
