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!
ReplyDeleteSo 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. :-)
