She is officially 14. Usually, we take a picture at around 10 am - or at least in the morning sometime - one of her and then the two of us together. It is approximately the time she was born. I have a booklet filled of such photos - have tapered off over the years as have the little bits of life that year that I cut and paste to these photo-filled pages (the word Gerber - a piece of her first dance recital program - a label from one of her favorite foods - can't help it- it's the OCD in me).
So - tomorrow will be the last time we send in cupcakes for the class - the last time we donate a book to her beloved school's library in honor of her b-day. An era has passed :-).
Her friends will still scrapbook for her - she'll get her gifts - we'll order special (as she says, "designer") red velvet cupcakes with pink and green glittery sprinkles from Vanilla Pastry Studio for the candles that her little brothers and sisters will surely want her to blow out (after her favorite - PF Chang's takeout, of course). We have designer bags and perfume (lovingly carried through the store by Milo and Lil) and accessories for her iPod and Enzo picked out a special "diamond" ring for her - spending money, movies, etc. - all stuff that will make her happy.
But - she is growing up.
Photos: The three Olivias - friends for life, I think :-).

sniff sniff...she is so beautiful!
Oh, happy birthday to Olivia! She reminds me of my niece, who is a little older, in those pictures with her friends. My niece does gangsta signs with her hands in almost every photo. What is up with that?
Finally caught up again - sounds like a busy January! I do like appreciating small things. There are many of them, all around...
Yeah - the gangsta signs - and the silly faces - check out the exaggerated runway look in the bathroom mirror photo ;-).
And - of course - sniff - I agree...
