I know it is almost a month late, but I am finally getting around to putting up photos of Oliver's family birthday party. I made pinwheels and airplane garlands out of maps and paper in reds and blues. We enjoyed a delicious Spanish style meal, to which everyone contributed, and a dessert buffet.
Oliver LOVED the balloons given to him by Grandma and Grandpa Y. Below, he is sitting with Grandma R, while I accidentally blow out his candle. :)
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. I think the rest of our kids will have ice cream bars for their birthdays. :)
Opening and closing cabinets: Oliver's favorite past time.
The xylophone was a hit! Thank you Grandpa R! Its a special gift!
Oliver was blessed with many beautiful homemade gifts. It is amazing to be a part of such a talented family! I will have posts to follow on the toolbox from his Daddy, the trucks from his Uncle Lucas, the Oliver Bear from his Aunt Jessica, the Non -Toms shoes from his Aunt Melody and the beanbags from his Aunt Naomi. You can see the I Spy from his Grandma Y here. A post will also be following with Oliver's first trip to the zoo. My parents gave him the gift of a zoo membership, which we are SO excited about.
Oliver is a blessed little boy. He has such wonderful family right here who love him and shower him with their gifts and talents. I can't wait for him to learn from each of them!
Happy Birthday Oliver!
Wow, so old so fast! It has been fun "watching" him grow up this past year! Maybe I'll actually get to meet him this June! ;-) Will those fun travel creations be making another appearance then?
