love, lowry: Celebrate

We decided as part of our celebration for Olivia turning 1 we would go to Disneyland. When Amanda's

(Olivia's birth mom) water broke Rob and I were at Disneyland so we thought it was appropriate! We renewed our annual passes which made it nice for us to not feel rushed. I know a lot of people say to wait until your kids are older before taking them to the park but we totally disagree! It was so fun watching Olivia soak it all in. She absolutely loved the parades, food, rides, and of course the people watching. She was serenaded for her birthday, given her first rose, enjoyed a birthday cupcake, hated astro blasters, and had a ghirardelli sundae! Olivia was a show stopper too and made lots of new friends/admirers! We were able to spend some time with cousin Jazmin who just moved back down to Southern California. Next time we go with others, I'll explain the way to do disney using their switch pass, it is awesome! Here's to my baby!

Olivia loved making friends in line!

Watching the parade and dancing along!

Birthday love!

I let her start on the cupcake before realizing they were going to sing to her! Whoops!

Watching the All-American College Band

We LOVE disney!!!

We are so loved and so spoiled. We were thrown a second baby shower (the first was at Rob's work given to us by his cowrkers!) by our friends here in the desert. I still get teary eyed when I think of how much effort, thought, work, and love went into the planning and preparation for this wonderful event. Every detail was thought out and planned and it all came together perfectly. We had so many people there who have loved and supported us in this journey. It was a perfect evening! It was even better that Amanda, Olivia's birthmom, was there too!

Some of the pictures are a little blurry but they were too cute to not post!
