Today was Oliver's first friend birthday party (even though his birthday was on June 12th). He was so excited to have all of his friends come to his birthday party at Gymnastics Unlimited.
The kids all had a blast and the weather was perfect for some indoor gymnastics fun.
The really do an excellent job with the kids for these birthday parties. They had all kinds of games for the kids to play.
And they kept bouncing the kids in the air and catching them.
And then of course the foam pit is always a huge hit!
After a lot of fun, it was time to eat!
Oliver loved his "How To Train Your Dragon" cake (which was MUCH MUCH better than his old cake, which you will read about later in this post).
He loved it when all of his friends sang to him.
And then he made his wish.
Oliver loved reading all of his cards.
And opening all of his gifts.
And then of course he loved playing with all of his new toys when we got home!
A few weeks ago (closer to his real birthday) we had our usual family party.
The cousins!!!
This is when we had the epic cake fail. I ordered this cake from Orchard Fresh, where they assured me that it was noooo problem and they could easily make this cake.
And when Mark picked up the cake, we got this...
Yeah...not even close. But after convincing Oliver that this was in fact a dragon of some sort (and a few supportive text messages from some friends) I could easily see the humor in this debacle.
Overall, I think that Oliver had a wonderful 5th birthday. He loved celebrating with all of his friends and family. I still can't believe my little man is 5 and is going to Kindergarten but it has definitely been the most amazing 5 years with this guy and I love him more than words can say! He has grown into a sweet, smart, kind, and hilarious little person and look forward to seeing what the future brings for him!!!
I LOVE YOU OLIVER!!! Thank you for an amazing 5 years!!!!
