Oliver's Birthday Party
We celebrated Oliver's birthday party on Saturday. We had lots of cupcakes (this is the small platter) and pizza.
Oliver loved having all his grandparents,
his cousins, including Ella who is 5 days older,
and friends and family over for his big party.
After digging into his birthday cake, eating only a little bit and spitting it back out,
he enjoyed opening his presents.
He really couldn't move past the current present.
So, he had a lot of other willing helpers open most of his presents.
Madeline did a great job helping him enjoy all his new presents.
Then we tried to get a group shot of all the kids. Oliver loved it. Madeline was her usual photographic self. ha!
Oliver looks a little scared, but he was actually having a great time with the group shot. (Remember the picture above.)
I think Oliver made out quite well (and I think Madeline thinks she did too). Oliver also got a big slide/playhouse from his grandparents that is not pictured below. It's a good thing he got so many toys since we have to wait 3 whole weeks for Madeline's birthday and then another 3 weeks for Christmas.
It was great to have so many people celebrate Oliver's first year of life with us. He is really loved!

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I kept looking at the size of the cupcake and the size of Oliver's head and thinking, either that is the BIGGEST CUPCAKE I'VE EVER SEEN, or perhaps Oliver has a small little head. Did you get that cake from BIGWORLD (mario)? How did you make it! IT'S THE BEST CAKE I'VE EVER SEEN!
So much fun! We had a blast at Oliver's birthday party, but more than anything we LOVED getting to celebrate the gift of his life! Oliver is very special to our family; thank you for inviting us to be there with all of you. :-)
