Olivia's 1st BirthThanksDayGiving!

So everyone was looking forward to Thanksgiving, November 28th, all November long.  But instead, our family was looking forward to November 27th...OLIVIA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

To be honest, I think we were more excited about it than Olivia, but she got into it as the day went on.

We started off the day by singing "Happy Birthday" to Olivia when she woke up.  She loves music so she thought this was pretty funny.  Then we opened a few presents!

Peekaboo!

The love for Legos begins young in the Thacker family!

Then we went and saw the new Disney movie "Frozen", it was so cute!  Olivia was good at sitting and watching it for most of the time, but toward the end she got tired and a little fussy.  When it was over we came home and she took a long  birthday girl nap.  Then we opened the rest of her presents!  She got pretty good at helping take off the wrapping paper.

After playing with her new toys for a while it was time for birthday cake! 

Olivia is a pretty cautious little girl and usually doesn't like trying new foods or touching new things, but she played with her cake for a little and even ate a tiny bit!

Olivia loved all of her presents!  It was a pretty awesome first birthday :)

Oh yeah, and then the next day was Thanksgiving!  It was just the three of us at home, but we made a delicious feast!

"Yum!"

Olivia also got to play lots more with her new toys.

Olivia loves to make music/dance to all the music her new toys play.  She especially liked the music when we watched "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" that evening.

We are SO grateful for all our recent blessings, especially Becky's new nursing job and our beautiful one year old little girl!
