Today is one of my favorite days ever. It's my mom's birthday too! Such a nice day to be born. I hope you have a fun day and mostly I hope you have some wonderful (painless, good decision making) teeanage years ahead of you

Olivia thinks for herself. She isn't an ageist, but likes people independent of their age (babies, older people, etc.) She is different than many teenagers in that she doesn't base her opinions on what other kids have deemed "cool," but rather on what she really likes (which is a lot of things). In case you hadn't noticed, I also am a member of the Olivia fan club.

Olivia is so beautiful! Happy birthday. Also grandma Carol's birthday, so we know she's extra special.

Happy Birthday, Olivia! Your mom was so excited you were coming (way back in 1996) she only had pink baby clothes. It was fun to be a part of your early days. I look forward to a bananagrams playoff soon.

I love how Olivia actually enjoyed helping me after school, and how generous she was in class. If she was chosen to do something someone else wanted to do--she would say, I don't really need that, you can have it. She is kind and beautiful--beautiful through and through. Happy Birthday--wish you were here!
