It was a wonderful celebration that I wouldn't have missed for the world! Olivia is 1! 
For the third time this month I got see hang out with my best friend, Julie! I am so blessed to have her in my life. There are very few people that REALLY know me. This last year she has inspired me countless times. She, Zac, and Olivia have streghenthed my faith in God, my Right to Life beliefs, and reaffirmed the importance of friends and family! 
Olivia's party had a "heart" theme. Very fitting for a little girl who fought her way back after three surgeries. She enjoyed every gift! She was so into the whole opening presents part of the party!
Julie made an amazing scrapbook of Olivia's first year. It was filled with inspirational poems, sayings, and pictures of Olivia. I copied this from the book.
Special Child
by Sharon Harris
You weren't like other children,And God was well aware,
You'd need a caring family,With love enough to share.
And so He sent you to us,And much to our surprise,
You haven't been a challenge,
But a blessing in disguise.
You winning smiles and laughter,
The pleasures you impart,
Far outweigh your special needs,
And melt the coldest heart.
We're proud that we've been chosen,
To help you learn and grow,
The joy that you have brought us,
Is more than you can know.
A precious gift from Heaven,
A treasure from above,
A child who's taught us many things,But most of all - "Real Love"
Happy Birthday Livvy!
