Today was Olivia's 8th birthday!! Callan and I got to come to Arizona and surprise her! I love her to pieces! So, yesterday was when we arrived, while she was at school she had no idea we were coming so we got to hide a surprise her and be her "early" birthday present. Callan and I tied a string to the front door and had Caleb say "follow the string at the end there is a present!" so Olivia followed the string from the front door throughout the house and down the stairs, and to the couch. We were hiding behind the couch. When she got to the end we popped up and SURPRISE!!! It was so fun! We have been having a lot of fun while we have been here. We have been playing board games and watching movies, hiking, yummy dinners, and just a lot of good quality family time. Last night, we played a game called Balderdash, and it was so FUN! I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time!! My family is hilarious! Today, for Olivia's b-day dinner we went out to her favorite restaurant IHOP. It was a good time, we played a fun game where everyone has a piece of paper and you write a random sentence and pass it to the next person and they draw a picture about the sentence and then they fold the paper so you can only see the picture, then pass it and the write a sentence for your picture, and so on until you have back your own. The thing is it gets really messed up so you may not even know if its your own! HAHA! Easton was laughing so hard he threw up. New game catch phrase? I think so.
"SO funny you will throw up!"
HAHA I am so happy we had the opportunity to fly down and visit my family, and get to see olivia on her birthday! We aren't leaving until Monday, so we will have some time to spend with them for a few more days. Tomorrow we are going to see Breaking Dawn, my grandma, my mom, me and Callan.
haha We have the daughter(me), my mom, and her mom. 3 generations, how cool is that!!?!
Sounds fun! Olivia looks beautiful in her baptism dress. Glad you guys are having a great time
