I can't believe it, she's TWO. Livy, I love you so much! I am so grateful to have this little ball of energy in my life. She loves to sing, and dance and boss me around, and scream and laugh and make huge messes everywhere she goes. She is very curious and is always aware of everyone's feelings. She is very helpful and loves being a mommy to anything smaller than she is. She has a very quirky sense of humor, we laugh at her all day and she loves it. She loves her daddy and knows how much he loves her.She is obsessed with meows, her snug, her paci, sippy cups, pizza and me, of course. She loves to talk to her mimi and papa Mike on the phone and loves to give grams and papa big hugs when she sees them! She loves to bother her brother and steal his toys and give him kisses when he cries. She loves to say her prayers and loves nursery songs. she is pure joy and I am grateful for her everyday.Let's face it, it's been a looong winter here in Houston and I've been shacked up in my house a lot. I was bored one day and thought, I want to throw a party! I am Cheri Toolson's daughter after all! So I emailed lots of friends and had a "Tea for Two" party for Livy pants. It was so fun. I have such wonderful friends and so does Livs.
I laid some plastic down so we had somewhere the kids could eat
James, Hannah, Anna, Lauren and Livy
Kisha and I found that cupcakes in Houston get so moist that the frosting won't go on smooth and gets filled with crumbs. so the little ones look better than the big ones.
The spread
Happy Birthday Tooo Yooooou!
She did it!
Thanks for the GREAT pictures Marci!! And the entire birthday outfit, what would we do without you?
Time to OPEN PRESENTS!!!!

Addie girl and Livy-they are kindred spirits!
She laughed and screamed and giggled at every present, it was so fun to watch!

How cute is this skirt made by Cathy T?!
A meow meow and new shades!
Cute Kate. She and Livy are just five months apart so they will be best buddies!!
Mama and Livs.
Kids just seem to mellow out around Emily. She is the child whisperer.
Lucy is cute as a button!
Anna's never seen a high chair she didn't like!
Struttin' her new flip flops, thanks Emily and Zach!
The loot. All of her friends were so gracious. She LOVES every single present she opened.
Today is her real birthday, February 26th 2008 at 9:31 am, this little monkey face was born. She is pure sunshine and there is never a dull moment when she is around. We love you Olivia Rene Allen!
We had friends over for dinner tonight since John is at school and had...more cupcakes. Look at that face.

I SOOOO wish I had been there! I'm thinking that you are Cheri Toolson on CRACK! I would..nor could have had parties like that at your age! Impressive baby doll, truly impressive! Your family is so lucky to have you! me included!!
That was the funnest party ever! Watching Livy freak out over every single present was priceless and hysterical. I love that nutty girl. I love the picture of her pointing because it captures her PERFECTLY. That is her to a T! Johnny kept calling us 'Party People' when we got to your house. "m-oooom, the Party People are here!" but really, you Toolson's are the party people in my book.
LOVE IT!!!!
so cute! Her faces are great and that birthday outfit is darling! Cant believe she is two now really. Seems like the other day we were talking on the phone while you were in labor.
Livy opening presents was THE best! I have never seen such enthusiasm from anyone of any age :-)!
Oh Happy belated Birthday Livy!!! The party looked great! What did you do for your kids first b-day parties? I'm lookin for ideas.
Way cool party. Hey, I have a friend that is moving to Katy and she wanted to talk to someone about schools, neighborhoods, etc. Will you email me your number? tamracran@yahoo.com I tried calling Kisha, but I must have the wrong number.
Mckell! Amazing party! I want that Birthday party for me! You are such a perfect mommy! Love you!
