So here is my special little birthday girl. She turned 6 last Friday. Everybody always talks about how time flies when they're referring to their children-it's very true. 6 years ago I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl I had ever seen. She was perfect! Olivia has had a tough year and persevered and she is conquering all. I'm so proud of her. Here are many, many pictures of her day. Observe that I am using this also as a type of journal for my children's future reference, so there will be pictures you might not think are relevant or interesting, but I think someday Olivia would like to see them all.

Olivia and Maddie made most of the decorations for the party. Here she is cutting out the hearts that will be taped to the kitchen cupboards.
This is the birthday cake. The theme of Liv's party was "pretend slumber party" I found this idea online and thought it was pretty cute. So thank you cake decorating tips and a big thanks to Fondant.
Here are the sock/slippers we made for all the girls at the party.
These are some of the party favors we made. It's a crayon holder that rolls up with ribbon. Olivia chose to make these, she really wanted to give these to all her friends.
These pictures are a little out of order-but here are all the girls crowding around watching Olivia open her presents. We had to break through the girls to even get this picture.
Here she is blowing out the six birthday candles
Decorating their journals-this is what girls do at real slumber parties, right?
This was hilarious! We played musical sleeping bags and the girls were so funny. They fought for those spots like we were giving away money.
Relaxing in the bags. It was such a fun party for Olivia. She told Trent and I several times that she felt like she was in a dream. That night she thanked me for her party and told me it was everything she could have ever hoped for. What a sweet thing for a six year old to say. Hey I get to brag at least once a year for each of my children. Today was your day Olivia. I love you!

What a fun birthday party! And I'll agree, Olivia was a beautiful little baby. I love the cake and LOVE the crayon holders. You gave those out as party favors? I think Rachel needs to be Olivia's friend :)
What a great mommy you are! That party looks so fun and that cake? Amazing!
I loved ever single photo! What great party ideas! I have to say, I almost cried when I read what Olivia said that night. What a little sweetie. (Brag more often, I like it)
I've been looking forward to this post! It all looks so awesome. I love love the cake- especially the polka dots on the blanket. And I love the crayon holders. Look at you, crafty woman! What fun memories for Olivia.
The cake looks great. Too bad Norah and Lulu can't share in the birthday fun.
Norah has been planning her birthday party for months...which reminds me I need to check ebay for some tea cups.
I'm super impressed! I love the cake, and sorry I wasn't much help with ideas. You caught me at a busy time! So cute!
Good job Cathy. The cake turned out really well. You are a good mom.
Holy smokes! I loved it all! Maybe we'll borrow some ideas for future reference! Emma almost cried knowing she wasn't there. Tell Maddie we LOVE her Minnie Mouse shoes!
How adorable! You are a supermom. Girls sure are fun! I mean, I wouldn't know, but it looks like it. And hopefully I will be able to steal some ideas from you when/if I have a girl or two of my own.
