1st Birthday Party

Oliver celebrated his first birthday on August 20th with family surrounding him. Oliver did well I thought for only having a 30 minute nap in the morning before the party and partying until 3:45 that afternoon. He especially enjoyed playing in his cake made by my friend Danielle. It was a truck cake with a pudding cool whip frosting and let me tell you as a girl who doesn't really like frosting, this is the way to go. It was so yummy, and I think Oliver thought so too. He dug straight into the cake when put in front of him. Timidly at first then squished his hand together into it. Once we removed the big cake and gave Oliver a slice of his own he didn't want anything to do with eating it just playing in it. Of course his hands go straight to his hair and head making everything orange, blue and black. He received his first bath in a sink after the cake. Good thing my mom brought extra towels and I another change of clothes. He screamed his head off though in the sink but once dried off and out back into the fun it was time to play again.









ONE YEAR OLD!


Oliver received many nice gifts from family and friends and we thank Ian, Makenna, Dillon, and Layton for helping as his present openers. I'm sure next year he'll be tearing into them himself.


My sister and her family gave Oliver a toolbench and he just loved the tools and nails that lit up when hit. It's still a big hit in our house for him. His cousins loved it too.



All the partying wore him out that he was asleep before we even got out of town in his new car seat.


Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate!
