Oliver's Birthday Party

Last Saturday was Oliver's birthday party.  We had it at our local park and the weather was PERFECT!  We had a minor mishap with other people being in our shelter but once that was resolved, all was GREAT!!!!  PS my good friend Tammy made this beautiful sign for Oliver's party!  It was perfect and added a special touch to the perfect day.

The grandma's had a blast loving up the birthday boy.

Oliver had fun hanging out with his godfather.  Who also happens to be his look a like!

Claire loved playing with her BFF Giada and her cousin Layne.

 They had a ball playing in the splash pad!

When Uncle Bill showed up Claire couldn't wait to give him a hug!

Oliver went in the splash pad with Aunt Erin and he LOVED it!  I think I have another water baby on my hands!

My big ONE year old.

Mark worked hard to get all the food out (after he kicked the other people out of our shelter).

While Mark did that, I snuggled up the birthday boy!

And Claire ate about 3 thousand chips.

Papa had no problem getting everyone started on the food.

Everyone enjoyed the food.

And of course, Erin and I had some SERIOUS things to discuss!

Everyone enjoyed the food!!  How cute is Mark's grandma with her little hat on!

 Claire loved playing with her friends all day!

After everyone enjoyed the playground, the splash pad, and a delicious dinner it was time for CAKE!

Oliver couldn't wait to dive in!  Even before we finished singing he was already sampling the cake!

Then he was unstoppable!!!!

He chowed down!!  This boy enjoyed his food!  Oliver moaned the whole time he ate!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy little man!

Claire and Giada loved singing happy birthday!

Then it was time for PRESENTS!!!

"WOW!  This thing is awesome."

He loved opening his gifts!

Oliver also enjoyed reading his cards.

Then Mark and Nick cleaned up the food.

We attempted to get a picture of the cousin together.  We are getting better with this I think!!  After about 35 pictures and a few tears we did end up with this cute shot!

One of the prizes in the kids treat bags were these hilarious mustaches!!!

Who doesn't look awesome with a mustache!

Even Papa reverted back to his old mustache days.

While we packed up the car, the kids played on the swings.

And so did the adults.

Oliver loved swinging with Jenna.

Oliver had so much fun the whole day!  He is just so happy!!!

Then it was time to say goodbye to Owen.  I swear, give it a few more months and these two are gonna be TROUBLE!!!

Me and Nana.  Nana was a huge help, as always!

Overall, it was a great party!  I loved sharing this day with our family and friends!!

We spent Sunday playing with all of Oliver's new toys!!!!  And then we headed to Nana's for a nice father's day dinner (more about that in my next post).

Even Pete wanted to play with Oliver's new toys!!  

Thank you everyone for the great presents and for sharing my baby's special day with us!
