The first thing she had to do was open a present, of course! She picked the one Aiden had picked out for her which was filled with art supplies!
She took a quick break to enjoy her birthday breakfast- doughnuts with sprinkles. Then it was back to the presents. The night before, Aiden heard Olivia asking if she got to open presents tomorrow. When I said yes, Aiden's face lit up and he yelled "thank you mommy!!". I had to break it to him that all the gifts were for Sissy, since it was her birthday. He threw his hands over his face and boohoo'ed. At 2&1/2, that just doesn't seem fair I'm sure. So we were sure to wrap up a little matchbox car I had upstairs in the closet waiting for a special occasion. That took the edge off, but he was still a little jealous.
Here she is opening her Hello Kitty Scrapbook Kit!
We got a video of her opening her "big" gift. She was SO excited to see McKenna under the wrapping paper! We had told her American Girl was all sold out so we couldn't get her McKenna or go there on her birthday. Little did she know we were saving it for a surprise!
I got her a new outfit to wear to the American Girl Place- when she put it on she kept talking about how "mature" she looked. Can you tell she reads a lot of Fancy Nancy?
After presents we were off to Tysons to the American Girl Place. We got there and had about a hour to shop before our reservation at the Bistro. There were 2 floors full of American Girl "stuff"! Olivia already had a idea of what she wanted though! She picked out McKenna's fancy dress and McKenna's accessories set. I knew they had shirts there only for that store, so I took her to pick out a AG Washington DC shirt. She picked a red one for her and a matching one for McKenna along with white capris. Next up was lunch at the bistro!
Aiden being a good sport!
Olivia's first course!
We all enjoyed the meal. Olivia has spaghetti and meatballs, Aiden had a cheese pizza, Greg had some kind of chicken pasta, and I had salmon.
The whole restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Then she enjoyed her celebration milkshake.
After AG, we went home and had more cake and ice cream. Olivia kept saying how it was "the best birthday ever!" I think she had a great day!
