Olivia turned 12 this year which is crazy to me. She definitely doesn’t not seem like a kid anymore, more like a teenage. She is loving Young Womens and going to the temple to do baptisms for ancestors. She did what she loves most on her birthday and performed in Tuck Everlasting so we all went to see her even Babi and Papou who came up for the play and her birth day. After the play Liv ordered cheesecake. Papou didn't realize it was her birthday cake and snuck a piece so she blew out candles over a cheesecake with a missing piece.
Babi took Liv to lunch at Olive Garden. 
Later in the month, after the show was over Liv threw herself a birthday party. She made the invites and sent them all out via text. We had about 20 girls there from all her favorite social circles.
They had pizza, she had them all introduce themselves, she had them all fill out a questionarrie with questions about her…who knows Liv best. She had crumble cookies instead of birthday cake. Then, they all watched Sandlot (her choice). As a party favor she insisted on giving them all $5 gift certificates to Pop N Dot.
The party went well, was super easy for me, and she almost entirely did the whole thing herself. So maybe she is officially in charge of her own birthday parties from here on out.
