Olivia turns 11

Olivia is now 11 years old.  

I checked her out for lunch and took her to Pizza Studio.

We chatted about nothing for almost 30 minutes. 

She makes being a mom so fun.

She woke up to a balloon avalanche.

Dru bought all the supplies and set this up.

Olivia requested grapefruit for breakfast.

She also wanted a PARIS PARTY!

 She invited 10 darling friends.

All but one are in the French immersion program at school.  

The one who isn't has actually been to France so all the girls loved the theme.

They started by decorating bags that they would use later for a game.

 They painted a canvas with a vinyl of the Eiffel Tower on it.

 They all turned out pretty awesome!

I forgot to take a picture of the finished products.  

Here is what Liv's looked like.

They all thought it was magical when I pulled off the vinyl.

We ate a typical French lunch. 

The menu was a sandwich, fruit and yogurt.

We then played the dice game for prizes and candy.

They also made masquerade masks.

We came back in for dessert.

Olivia did not want anyone to sing so we yelled Happy Birthday 

on the count of 3 and she blew out her candle.

We opened her presents.  

She got a lot of cool notebooks and fun pens which was exactly what she wanted.

They buillt an Eiffel Tower with plastic cups and also played a French memory game.

 A thank you for coming to the party.

It had a Paris hand sanitizer and lipstick pen inside.

I love Olivia so much.

She is such a sweet girl.
