I made her a Birthday Girl t-shirt and brought cupcakes and ice cream, and juice to school after nap today. She got very shy when we all sang happy birthday to her. I don't think she was fully awake yet. Once she woke up and had some sugar she was her old self.
For dinner we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Olivia was surprisingly not shy this time. She ordered her "macamole" (guacamole dip) and then told the waiter "today is my birthday". he asked her how old she was and what her name was and to our surprise she actually answered him. The waiter told her that if she ate like a good girl that he would have a surprise treat for her. She was very excited about that. She kept asking "what kind of present is the man going to bring me." We told her she had to eat if she wanted to find out. She did great and before we knew it the waiter and about 6 other waiters brought her a big tortilla dish filled with fried ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, cherry and a candle. They all sang a traditional song. I have never heard before and then told her to blow out her candle. She was so surprised and she blew out her candle without hesitation then stole the cherry off the top of the ice cream. We were so proud of her. She is usually very shy and won't speak or look at anyone when they try to talk to her, so this was such a treat to have her engage and enjoy every minute of it. After she saw the waiter walking by and said "is he going to get me another present".
When we got home Olivia had a few presents to open from Grammie, NaNa, and Amanda and Uncle Dan.
She was very excited.
Here are some pictures of her from Monday with Daddy, who also had a birthday and for her birthday today.
Two more parties to go.
In order for Bill's wish to come true the person who's birthday is next must make a wish and remove the knife from the cake. Olivia was next so she got to pull the knife out.
Daddy opening his presents.
MMMMMMM......Delicioso!!! Cake and ice cream.
Bill got a new Giada cookbook. 
These are the cupcakes that I made for Olivia's party at school today. she picked Strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting. I added cotton candy for decoration. They were mmmm mmmmmm good.
Olivia being shy because everyone was singing Happy Birthday to her.
Another pearl for her add a pearl necklace that NaNa started for her.
If you look closely you will see Olivia and NaNa in this book.
Ms. Shelly made this sign for Olivia and had it facing the door when Olivia walked into her classroom this morning.
Will post more tomorrow.

Happy birthday Olivia! It's hard to believe that they are 3, isn't it?
Wow love the cupcakes, Tabi's school won't let us bring homemade treats, they have to be from a store with a label on them....guess it's some sort of board of health reg or something. :(
Happy birthday Olivia. your daughter and mine share the same birth date, so I had to stop by!!
