The Forgotten Birthday

I have to admit that I feel a bit bad for Olivia. How exciting can it really be for you to have your birthday so close to Christmas? It was especially bad this year since no one (and I mean no one, not even grandparents) remembered to call her. At least she's not one to hold a grudge!


We spent the morning playing at "Jumping Jacks," a little inflatable place just outside of town. It was very touching to see Thomas protecting his little sister from kids that were much bigger than both of them put together, but he wasn't standing for any kind of cutting!

Afterwards we headed to the mall. Foolishly we didn't think about all of the other kids who would be in "Build A Bear" wanting to redeem their gift certificates too and so it was just a tad busy. She seemed to have fun though and even managed to keep her thumb out of her mouth long enough to choose a bear and dress it.



The night ended with dinner at Panda "Bear" Express, which is Olivia's favorite and we picked up a cake from Cold Stone to top it all off. Luckily, Thomas was there to help with the blowing out of candles since Olivia was scared to death of the "fire".
