Great Grandma Donita
The weekend before Liv's Birthday (Aug.11th) we spent Saturday and Sunday with Lateaf's side of the family. On Saturday (take 1) we were off to Lateaf's mom & step dad's house for Val's pizza, cake, and presents. Brother J.R., step grandma Donita, Frank's mom Shirley, aunt and uncle Randy and Jeanine were all in attendance to share the special occasion. Sunday (take 2) we headed to his dad and step mom's house for Jimmy John subs and more cake & presents. My camera bit the dust..aka I ruined it:( so there aren't many pictures from either day. This year we decided to have a few gatherings instead of one big one. We ended up celebrating her birthday four different times. WHOA! They were all real intimiate and informal so it was nice.
On her actual birth-day (Take 3) Aunt Kate and Aunt Amy came over and we had dinner, cupcakes, and more presents. Liv was NOT a fan of her cupcake as seen here on footage from that gathering via my cell phone...
Take 4- was spent at the lake with my side of the fam. More food, more presents, and more cake. The funny thing is that she didn't eat ANY of it. She put it to her lips once and that was it. Therefore we ate lots of birthday cake on her behalf:)

Birthday girl was wipped out. We didn't start "celebrating" until late after we took a sun set boat ride so it became a late night. She was a such a trooper. Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet and perfect 2nd born child. (4 takes later;)
