OLIA'S GOLDEN BIRTHDAY

14 on the 14th!

Oh sweet Olia...wasn't this just yesterday?!

And look at you now, as tall as your mama and so lovely on the inside and out.

Just a few of my favorite Olia memories over the years...

Literally ALL of my memories of my Olia are kind and joyful and sweet and tender and innocent and feminine and flowery and wonderful and she's just that sort of person that brightens the world whenever she's around. Every day with Olia her whole life long has been better because of her loving, gentle presence and I am SO SO thankful the Lord blessed me with such a special daughter to share life with and all who know her would say the same.

Olia, you are SO special!

It was such a fun day celebrating the gift God has given us in YOU!

Happy 14th Birthday today on the 14th precious Olia!

You are a rare treasure!!

"She is far more precious than jewels."

Proverbs 31:10
