Liv was born a mom. She would carry Parkin on her hip at 5 and I would have complete confidence as she multitasked with a kid on her hip. I feel like she is finally the age she was born to be! The day started with our first "party" the family watched a movie and then we were interrupted by her friends dropping by balloons, donuts and flowers. It truly was so sweet and everything you would want for your daughter. The love continued as church friends dropped presents off and well wishes came in from aunts, uncles and grandparents. We went to Jasons' Deli for dinner. We have been eating non-stop during the holiday so a soup, salad and sandwich joint was perfect. We came home for the second "party" We watched WonderWoman 84. Then we ate the most delicious chocolate and peanut butter bunt cake made by me...no pressure since Olivia is our resident baker, but I came through!
Olivia's future is bright. She has gotten accepted into several Universities all offering scholarship money. Ultimately she will attend the university that offers the most money. I can't think of a time in life that has been harder on seniors than this year has been. No first day being the oldest on campus, no winter formal, no prom, no senior culture dance...its been incredibly disappointing. Oliva has born it well. She has written some insightful essays based on this difficult season. I know a greet season is yet to come for her and it will be glorious.
